Native American agriculture isn't always viewed through an impressive lens. In fact, it's generally always thought to have been simplistic, naive, and even accidental at times. However, more recent observations at a now well-established Native American farming site in Northern Michigan, called Sixty Islands is
Australia’s outback saw a U.S. Army truck fire a Standard Missile-6. Range cameras, cited by Stars and Stripes, showed the rocket streaking 166 kilometers toward a target before a bright flash confirmed impact. “This system changes the game,” Deputy Commander Lt. Gen. Joel Vowell later
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 20 million barrels of oil flow through the narrow Strait of Hormuz daily. The 33-kilometer gap feeds one-fifth of the world's supply. Global gas prices can jump with the slightest escalation or rise in tensions. Recent conflicts have made
The oversimplified theory that the Clovis culture was the first to settle in North America some 13,000 years ago is called into question by the hidden history of the continent's prehistoric settlements. Human habitation predates the Last Glacial Maximum by at least 15,000–20,000 years, and
Over 1,500 years ago, deep in what's now the Belizean jungle, the Maya city of Caracol was dense with pyramids, temples, and sprawling complexes. Archaeologists have studied it for decades. But one significant piece of the puzzle, its first ruler's tomb, remained unattainable. That is,
Buried beneath up to 20 feet of ash for over 1,400 years, a small farming village in El Salvador has revealed one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the Americas. Dubbed the "Pompeii of the Americas," the site of Joya de Cerén gives a
Scientists believe Mount Edgecumbe, a stratovolcano on Kruzof Island, Alaska, exhibits early signs of possible eruption. The volcano has been dormant for around 800 years now, so these stirrings of life have raised alarm bells. According to the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO), Mount Edgecumbe has shown
Modern science has done a great deal to illuminate our understanding of strange phenomena. But over the centuries, ancient engineers have left us with enigmas that modern laboratories can't unpack. Water-healing stone and color-shifting glass weren't the only ingenious materials. These materials were resilient and
In 1945, a U.S. Air Corps pilot named James Gaussian experienced a life-changing encounter. During a flight between India and China, he spotted a massive White Pyramid while flying over the center of China. However Colonel Maurice Sheahan, director of the Trans World Airline gave
In Arizona’s Santa Cruz Valley, archaeologists have peeled back layers of time to reveal what may be the oldest surviving firearm in the United States. The finding of a bronze weapon, grander than a musket and nearly indistinguishable from a small cannon, has transformed our
