This work is partially funded by National Geographic. Very very exciting find if they can do more with what they have. I'm not exactly sure what happens next. Here's a story from our news department: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/03/120312-leonardo-da-vinci-mural-lost-painting-florence-science-world/

Solving the Mystery of a 35,000-Year-Old Statue
JGolomb replied to Viggen's topic in Archaeological News: The World
That's a hell of a delicate and refined piece to have been carved 35,000 years ago... -

Anglo-Saxon Horde in/at National Geographic
JGolomb posted a topic in Archaeological News: The World
Thought I'd share that National Geographic Magazine's November cover story is on the Anglo Saxon hoard. The treasure itself will be in our museum in a few weeks. The international editions are sometimes different than the US, but I'm guessing this story will at least be in the mag, if not on the cover. If anyone's going to be in DC to check it out, please let me know. J -
I'm coming late to this posting, but thanks for the pix. I've only been to Rome once, but there's something about it that has me completely mesmerized. My wife and I went about 3 years ago and I'm trying to convince the family to all go next summer. We've been looking at family tours, but honestly, I can't find any difference between a 'family' tour and any other kind of tour. Thanks again for sharing. J

What a bunch of tools. I hadn't realized that the statue at Piazza Navona is just a reproduction...that's good at least.

Rome's Pantheon may have been built as a massive sundial
JGolomb replied to Viggen's topic in Archaeological News: Rome
Ahh...I see what they were getting at now. Doesn't seem to perfectly fit that rounded top lintel, but I get the point. Good grab...thanks. -
Rome's Pantheon may have been built as a massive sundial
JGolomb replied to Viggen's topic in Archaeological News: Rome
"The precise calculations made in the positioning and construction of the Pantheon mean that the size and shape of the beam perfectly matches, down to the last inch, a semicircular stone arch above the doorway." Has anyone been able to find an image of what's referenced above? I can't find any clear pix of the doorway to the Pantheon... J -
Half of the New Testament is a forgery
JGolomb replied to Viggen's topic in Archaeological News: The World
Interesting story... -
Yeah...I see...I dunno what the hell I was looking at before. It clearly stated that the book wasn't available to consumers in the US. Um. Nevermind. :-)

Ben - this looks very interesting actually. Seems it's not available in the US. ...looking around to see if there's a ebook copy floating around and accessible anywhere J
