New Type of Ancient Human Discovered in Israel - BBC

An Israeli archaeological team has discovered what it suggests "was the source population" for the European Neanderthals and their Asian "equivalents." Unsurprisingly, this conclusion has excited, well, excitement and controversy within the hominin-hunting world. Pallab Ghosh has the story. For conjecture about a far more recent spread of people. see David Halpin's Thoth's Storm: New Evidence for Ancient Egyptians in Ireland? Halpin (and in an embedded interview, Ralph Ellis) work to convince you that legends, etymology, and archaeology prove that the Tuatha De Danann as exiled Egyptians is not blarney. A still more finite but just as mysterious conundrum, is The Unsolved Mystery of Sri Lanka's 'Stargate'. Demi Perera considers the fascinating puzzle of a Sri Lankan monument that's become a focus for some world-embracing Ancient Astronaut theorizing. Coincidentally, the Sri Lankan artifact's purpose could possibly be similar to that of a much older monument on the other end of Asia, as Paul Seaburn says that Mysterious Ancient Carvings in Turkey are a Calendar and a Map of the Universe. Another remarkable international collaborative effort is responsible for a dramatic and compelling reinterpretation of a Hittite temple's rock-cut reliefs. As Paul concludes, "we still have a lot to learn about ancient history and ancient big ideas." (WM)
