Everywhere you go in Argentina or Uruguay, you’ll see people engaging in an old and much-loved ritual: sipping a hot, slightly bitter infusion of caffeinated leaves from a dried gourd through a filtered metal straw, before passing the gourd to their friends to share.

Dans ces salles à l'humidité contrôlée près de Los Angeles, une poignée de spécialistes travaillent à la conservation d'un million de bobines qui constituent la mémoire aussi précieuse que fragile d'Hollywood.

College Park (United States) (AFP) - Seated side by side behind an antiquated viewer, the sisters run and rerun the 35 mm black-and-white film reel, whispering to each other about the images captured by their father, the only cameraman on Omaha Beach on D-Day. In the footage taken on June 6, 1944 in northern France, a handful of US soldiers advance on shore. One falls to the ground, a victim of German bullets. And even though he suffered a wound to his left arm, Sergeant Richard Taylor kept filming. Ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Allied beach landings in Normandy, Taylor's daughters are ...

"Acetic acid over time produces what is called 'vinegar syndrome' which degrades the base of the film... and prevent...

The British Museum has tracked down 268 more artefacts that had vanished from its storerooms, bringing the total number of retrieved items to 626. The recovery effort comes after the revelation last year that approximately 2,000 items, dating from 1,500BC to the 19th century, and comprising jewellery made of gold and semi-precious stones, were missing, with some even surfacing on eBay. George Osborne, chairman of the British Museum trustees and former Chancellor, expressed his astonishment: “Few expected to see this day, and even I had my doubts." “When we announced the devastating news that o...

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. And no, it wasn't with the help of extraterrestrials. A groundbreaking discovery by researchers from the University of North Carolina Wilmington reveals that these ancient marvels were likely built along a now-buried branch of the River Nile, concealed beneath desert sands and farmlands. For years, archaeologists have speculated that the ancient Egyptians used a waterway to transport massive stone blocks and othe...
