They say wine improves with age... But what if the wine in question is over 2,000 years old? In 2019, while a family was renovating their home in the Andalusian city of Carmona, they unexpectedly discovered a remarkably preserved Roman necropolis beneath their property. Inside the ancient tomb held what is now recognised as the world’s oldest preserved wine, still in liquid form. The wine, which was once white but has since turned a reddish-brown hue over the centuries, was found inside a glass urn along with cremated human remains. Tests by scientists at the University of Córdoba found that t...

A new room with painted blue walls, a very rare colour in Pompeian spaces, has emerged in Pompeii during recent excavations in the central area of the ancient city. The stunning blue-ground walls are decorated with female figures representing the four seasons and allegorical representations of agriculture and pastoralism, according to experts.

Scientists think they may have finally cracked the age-old mystery of how 31 pyramids, including the famous Great Pyramid of Giza, were constructed in Egypt more than 4,000 years ago.

For years, archaeologists have speculated that the ancient Egyptians used a waterway to transport massive stone blocks and othe...

Sydney (AFP) - The wreck of Captain James Cook's famed vessel the Endeavour has been found off the coast of the US state of Rhode Island, Australian researchers said Thursday.

For more than two centuries, it lay forgotten. "Since 1999, we have been investigating several 18th-century shipwrecks in a two...
