Archaeologists uncover ruins of 2,000 year old temple built by ancient civilisation

Image
Remains of ancient altars and inscribed marble slabs were discovered submerged underwater along the Italian coast, near Naples, having likely laid undisturbed for millennia. Researchers believe the religious temple found off the coast of Puteoli, modern-day Pozzuoli, was built by the Nabataeans, an ancient nomadic civilisation from Jordan. Another impressive structure built by the Nabataeans, Petra’s Treasury, featured in the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in which the building serves as the resting place of the Holy Grail.                                         From:  Independent Visit Website  https://www.weaversnest.org/  for more information on Archaeology and History.                                           ...

New archaeological method links ancient mega settlements to modern concepts of human development

Image
A recent study by researchers from the ROOTS Cluster of Excellence at Kiel University has unveiled a novel method to explore ancient social dynamics and individual well-being through archaeology. By employing the “capability approach,” a philosophical framework developed by Indian economist and philosopher Amartya Sen, the study bridges the gap between ancient material remains and modern concepts like the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI). Published in the journal Open Archaeology, the research sheds new light on Europe’s first mega settlements, which existed around 7,000 to 5,000 years ago.                                    From:  Archaeology News Visit Website  https://www.weaversnest.org/  for more information on Archaeology and History.                              ...
