Iraqi Deminer Loses Legs Clearing Mines - Iraq

A landmine uncovered by Hoshyar Ali remains partially buried in rocky soil in Halabja, Iraq, on November 20, 2025. He has been clearing landmines for over four decades, a task he began after the Iran-Iraq war when thousands of mines were planted along the border. Despite losing both legs and several family members to explosions, he continues to volunteer in mine removal. Locals call him “man of the mines,” and he is building a museum in his village to display defused explosives for future generations. Photo by Showan Sulaiman/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Spectacular Frescoed Villa Uncovered in Pompeii - Italy

A spectacular frescoed Villa resembling the famous 'Villa of the Mysteries' was uncovered at Pompeii archaeological site, Italy on February 2025. The newly found residence has a large banquet hall frescoed with a cycle of paintings depicting initiation into the Dionysian Mysteries. The fresco, dating to 40-30 BC, presents vivid imagery of Dionysian followers in states of ritualistic ecstasy, dancing and hunting, resembling the frescoes of the nearby famous Villa of the Mysteries which were uncovered 100 years ago. The frescoed walls have still vibrant colors: on a Pompeian red background, full figures emerge, very similar to those of the famous Villa of the Mysteries, albeit in a different style. It was a sumptuous environment where it is not difficult to imagine lavish receptions where guests, reclining on triclinia, ate, drank, and watched small performances. Excavated in recent weeks in the central area of Pompeii, the new room shows this frieze at almost life size, or a 'megalography', just as in the Vill

Tiny House With Erotic Frescoes Uncovered - Pompeii

Fresco with the myth of Phaedra and Hippolytus uncovered by Archaeologists in a richly decorated small house with finely preserved erotic frescoes of mythological scenes in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy on October 2024. The vividly coloured wall paintings include one depicting a sexual encounter between a satyr and a nymph on a bed and another one of Phaedra, mythological queen, and her stepson Hippolytus. Phaedra, Cretan princess and wife of Theseus, fell in love with her stepson Hippolytus through the work of Aphrodite, who avenged the young man’s disdain for her. Hippolytus rejected Phaedra, and she, scorned, falsely accused him of trying to rape her. Another fresco features gods presumed to be Venus and Adonis. Experts say the exquisitely decorated abode, called the House of Phaedra after the mythological queen , sheds light on the changing architectural styles in the first century AD but is also further proof that the residents of Pompeii had an appetite for sensual art.

Tiny House With Erotic Frescoes Uncovered - Pompeii

Archaeologists have uncovered a fresco featuring gods presumed to be Venus and Adonis in a richly decorated small house with finely preserved erotic frescoes of mythological scenes in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, Italy on October 2024. The vividly coloured wall paintings include one depicting a sexual encounter between a satyr and a nymph on a bed and another one of Phaedra, mythological queen, and her stepson Hippolytus. Phaedra, Cretan princess and wife of Theseus, fell in love with her stepson Hippolytus through the work of Aphrodite, who avenged the young man’s disdain for her. Hippolytus rejected Phaedra, and she, scorned, falsely accused him of trying to rape her. Another fresco features gods presumed to be Venus and Adonis. Experts say the exquisitely decorated abode, called the House of Phaedra after the mythological queen , sheds light on the changing architectural styles in the first century AD but is also further proof that the residents of Pompeii had an appetite for sensual art.

Archaeologists Discover New Bones - Waterloo

Archaeologists are discovering new bones at Mont-Saint-Jean farm, which served as a field hospital for British troops on 18 June 1815. Archaeologists and volunteers from ‘Waterloo Uncovered’ are searching for human and animal remains and artefacts to find answers about how the soldiers were treated during and after the battle. The archaeological digs on the site of the Battle of Waterloo should provide answers to what happened to the skeletons of thousands of soldiers who died at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
