Man and Flight Attendant Argue at Gate

I had an argument with a flight attendant after we landed, and a few days later the airline told me I was banned for life. Can they really do that?

You had a disagreement with a flight attendant after landing. It wasn’t physical. No police were called. You went home thinking it was over. Then a few days later, an email arrived saying you’re banned from the airline—for life. Can they really do that?

​Noah's Ark from the observation deck at the Visitor Center

The Book of Genesis provides detailed dimensions of Noah's Ark, and they closely match an enormous formation near Turkey's Mount Ararat.

At first glance, the formation feels too familiar to ignore. A shape in Turkey echoes an ancient story many already know, and measurements only add fuel. Science steps in cautiously, testing claims piece by piece. Want to see how evidence, belief, and restraint collide here? Keep reading. The details matter more than the headline.

A global puzzle emerges as identical tunnels, clearly not geologic formations, appear in rocks across Africa and Arabia.

Something strange has been hiding inside ordinary stone. Not fossils. Not cracks. Patterns instead. Scientists followed those patterns across distant deserts and realized the rocks were keeping a biological story no one knew existed.

Band of holes

The strange holes covering a mountainside in Peru are now believed to have been used for trade, like an ancient Amazon drop box.

National Geographic published photos of mysterious desert holes in 1933. Readers lost their minds trying to explain them. Graves? Fortifications? Storage? Nobody knew. Fast forward to 2025, and researchers finally have the answer.

Archaeologist at Margam

A geophgysical scan of the Welsh landscape quickly revealed the largest Roman Villa ever found in the country buried under millennia of dirt.

One meter of soil can hide seventeen centuries of secrets. Wales just proved that dramatically. A routine survey in Port Talbot stumbled upon something that makes historians rethink how Romans actually lived in this corner of Britain.

It's Time To Correct The Record About Easter Island's Ruin, Which Everyone Got Completely Wrong

For generations, Easter Island has been presented as a parable about failure. Giant statues, vanished trees, and an isolated setting seemed to confirm a tidy story of self-inflicted ruin. Yet history rarely fits into neat moral lessons. Archaeology, linguistics, and Indigenous scholarship now paint a far more complex picture. Before accepting the myth, consider what the evidence actually says and who has been telling the story.

The Immovable Ladder Hasn’t Budged Since 1728—And No One Is Allowed To Touch It

Above the entrance to one of Christianity’s holiest churches sits a small wooden ladder. It looks ordinary. It isn’t. That ladder hasn’t moved since 1728—and it can’t be moved unless six Christian denominations all agree. For nearly 300 years, no one has.

Harappa ruins

The Indus Valley Civilization was thousands of years ahead of its time, but its collapse was caused by an act of god they could never defend against.

People adapted again and again, changing habits to keep going. Each adjustment worked for a while, until the familiar world no longer looked the same.

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.

Americans are finding out that “free” healthcare abroad comes with unexpected trade-offs.

Americans look with longing at the universal health care systems of other countries, but there are still some things they need to know.
