Archaeologists discover underwater ruins in Tunisia that might finally explain a legendary city’s centuries-old disappearance.

The Mediterranean has a habit of keeping secrets. For centuries, historians argued over whether the Roman city of Neapolis in present-day Tunisia truly vanished in a catastrophic event—or whether that story grew taller in the retelling. Now, archaeologists have uncovered sprawling underwater ruins that suggest the legend wasn’t exaggerating after all. Beneath the waves off the coast near modern Nabeul lies what appears to be a massive slice of the ancient city—streets, structures, and industrial installations included—quietly resting on the seabed.

Examining ancient dinosaur skin impressions

In February 2026, scientists revealed a new dinosaur with preserved skin—and it changes what we thought they looked like.

Most dinosaur discoveries are just bones. No texture. No skin. No real sense of what they truly looked like. But in early 2026, scientists unveiled something almost unheard of—a newly identified dinosaur with preserved surface details dating back more than 120 million years.

Teams analyze emptiness.

Anyone who's visited Giza knows how precisely it's laid out, which makes the strange gap that archaeologists have discovered all the more puzzling.

Most of this ancient burial ground followed clear rules. Status meant location. That’s why one oddly unused space caught attention and quietly challenged what researchers thought they understood about how the area was planned.

Forget Egypt or Iraq, archaeologists now believe that human civilization took its first steps in Turkey.

In southeastern Turkey, archaeologists are uncovering over 20 ancient sites dating back 11,000 years. These massive stone monuments were built around the time people thought humans were nomads. They are significant as they depict a huge shift.

Neanderthal life revealed.

A sealed chamber in a Gibraltar cave was finally opened in 2021. Inside was one of the last places that Neanderthals ever lived on our planet.

Most archaeological sites are scrambled by time, animals, or people. This one did not. A sealed cave kept Neanderthal life exactly where it ended, offering rare clarity instead of guesses. Curious what survives when nothing interferes? Step inside. The evidence speaks plainly.

Only a fraction of tourists at Hoover Dam will understand the 26,000-year star map beneath their feet, but the ones who do will never forget it.

Millions visit Hoover Dam without noticing that it records time on a planetary scale. Beneath ordinary footsteps lies a monument designed to outlast nations, encoding a single human moment within motions that span tens of millennia.

Wall shows Jesus.

After a visit from Pope Leo XIV in 2025, officials in Turkey announced the discovery of a detailed fresco of Jesus from Christianity's early history.

A forgotten wall speaks again. Buried art in Turkey offers a rare glimpse into how early believers expressed devotion when faith lived quietly, and symbols mattered more than words.

Man frustrated before a trip

I booked a family trip with my credit card, but now two relatives have backed out and say they shouldn’t have to pay. Am I stuck covering their share?

You stepped up and put the vacation on your credit card. Everyone said they were in. Now two people have bailed and suddenly they’re saying they shouldn’t have to pay because they’re not going. Meanwhile, your statement is due. So what now? Are you legally and financially stuck covering their share, or do you have options?

They Sealed 8 Humans Inside A “Fake Earth” For Two Years—And It Didn’t Go As Planned

Inside a glass-and-steel structure in the Arizona desert, eight people agreed to do something no one had ever attempted before. They would live sealed inside a completely enclosed ecosystem for two full years. No resupply. No fresh air. No stepping outside. This wasn’t a reality show…This was reality.

My nephew’s bride is making us book our hotel for their destination wedding at a much higher rate through her travel agency. Is that even fair?

Group booking rates for a destination wedding can be more expensive than if you booked on your own.
