The stunning portrait depicts a daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. It was unearthed in Akhetaten/Tell el-Amarna. This city was established by Pharaoh Akhenaten as a new capital. Dating around 1345 BC. On display at Neues Museum Berlin 📷 me 🏺 AncientEgyptBluesky #Egypt

A finely sculpted head of a woman, carved from reddish-brown stone. The figure features a smooth, bald scalp, elegantly shaped lips, and symmetrical facial contours. Both the eyes and the eyebrows are hollow, intended for inlays that are now missing. The portrait is displayed on a light stone pedestal within a museum glass case, set against a plain, neutral background.

What would you do if a meteorite crashed through your house? In this case, "The homeowner...quickly sealed the evidence in glass jars, handling the fragments with disposable gloves and aluminum foil." Two years later, we have amino acids and brine! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Celtic chieftain’s bird helmet! An astounding military helmet from some 2,200 years ago! The bird’s wings are hinged so that they flapped when the wearer moved! From Ciumești, Satu Mare County, Romania 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a remarkable helmet of a Celtic warrior chieftain dated c. 250-175 BC. The helmet body is made of iron, now brown in colour, with some fragments missing. On top of the helmet perches a large bronze bird of prey, now greenish-grey in colour, with outstretched wings made of sheet bronze. The wings are attached to the bird’s body by hinges, allowing them to flap up and down when the wearer moved, likely suggesting flight. There are coral-red and white enamel inserts in the eyes. There is a modern blue support frame beneath the wings and a modern blue replica beak for display purposes. It was found in a warrior’s grave at Ciumești in Romania, in 1961. Other military equipment amongst the grave goods of the Celtic warrior’s tomb included an iron coat of chainmail and two of its bronze appliques, two bronze greaves and an iron spearhead, as well as clothing accessories (an iron fibula and iron belt buckle) and two pottery vessels (a biconical vase and a bowl).

If the scientific community fails to address the influence of AI, then authentic research and validated findings will slow down to an expensive trickle... New editorial by @holdenthorp.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

AI in scientific publishing: Slower, worse, and more expensive

There’s a saying in the management world, popularized by NASA administrator Daniel Goldin in the 1990s, that the goal of technological improvements is to make products faster, better, and cheaper. Alt...
