Success doesn’t always come when we want it to, but when we’re actually ready for it. Despite the stories we see about tech entrepreneurs or athletes making it big at 20 years old, success doesn’t happen overnight for most. In fact, for someone who seems like an overnight success, it’s safe to say they’ve been working hard for the past 10 years to get where they are. We’ve become so accustomed to thinking that if we do not have our lives figured out by the time we enter college, then we’re already behind. But it’s important that we don’t panic…

A rare ancient artifact depicting the famous female pharaoh Hatshepsut has surfaced in the U.K., stunning experts. Consisting of two limestone fragments that have been glued together, the artifact had been in storage for 20 years before it was chosen for an object handling session by students of Swansea University in Wales. While the artwork was being analyzed by the students, Swansea University Egyptology lecturer Dr. Ken Griffin noticed something unusual. Griffin recognized the artwork’s iconography as being similar to carvings within the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri in Luxor, Egypt. The front of the artifact depicts the head…

Experts in Australia have found the tattered remains of an ancient priestess in a 2,500-year-old Egyptian coffin that was long thought to be empty. Reuters reports that the coffin, which was acquired by the University of Sydney 150 years ago, was erroneously classified. Late last year, however, experts were stunned to find the remains of a mummy when they opened the coffin’s lid. Scientists subsequently harnessed scanning technology to reveal the coffin’s secrets. “The coffin of an ancient Egyptian priestess called Mer-Neith-it-es, which had most recently sat in our education room, underwent a series of scientific and visual analysis,” the University of…

ARCHAEOLOGISTS were stunned at the remarkable preservation of a shipwreck that appeared “frozen in time”, with diving teams able to freely move between rooms on the wreck. Sir John Franklin led a British voyage which departed England almost 200 years ago in search of the Northwest Passage in the Canadian Arctic. The teams departed aboard two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, but disaster struck when both ships and their crew became icebound near King William Island, in what is today the Canadian territory of Nunavut. The ships remained icebound for more than a year. They had been equipped with a three-year supply…

The legend of the sunken city of Atlantis is a universal tale. Mentioned in ancient texts throughout history, it has been more recently fictionalised in books and films. Its story was told in two of Plato’s dialogues, the ‘Timaeus’ and the ‘Critias’ written about 360 BC. While many refuse to believe that Atlantis is a fiction, no evidence for it has ever been found. However, they may yet find solace in China’s ancient and lost underwater civilisation, the ‘Lion City’. Even after centuries, the city remains fully intact, despite having been submerged under water since the late Fifties. The forced flooding was carried out as…

TUTANKHAMUN’s tomb is said to hold a curse that was broken by archaeologists when they entered to search its contents and affected more than 20 of them in a matter of years, it was revealed in a documentary. Tutankhamun, often referred to as “King Tut”, was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, who ruled during the New Kingdom. Since the discovery of his intact tomb by Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon 95 years ago to this day, many archaeologists have dedicated their lives to finding out more about how this powerful ruler died before the age of 20. However, few have…

A mother with a rare condition called uterus didelphys has given birth to twins, with one baby growing in each of her two wombs. American Ashley Calo, 31, said she was shocked when her doctor told her that not only would she have twins – a boy and a girl – but that they would each have their own uterus. The mother of three was born with two uteruses and two cervixes. Ashley and her husband, Mike, 33, had no idea this was possible. Twins Zoey and Parker were born in April and are now 6 months old. “I was…

A black mother never considered the possibility of giving birth to twins of different skin colors, but her daughter was unmistakably white when she was born. For many expectant mothers, the best part (or the only part) of giving birth is finally seeing their baby. Life changes when a mother holds her baby for the first time. At the same time, it is interesting to guess who the taller baby looks like – does it have mom’s nose? Did she get daddy’s lips? Parents are dreaming at that moment, but sometimes they get a surprise. Judith Nwokocha had to go…

Cradling the baby she never knew was growing inside her, 13-year-old Charlotte Maddox still cannot believe she is a mum. For months after sleeping with a boy of 15, she dismissed fleeting ᴘᴀɪɴs as a tummy bug and thought she was “a bit podgy” because of overeating. Her parents noticed nothing unusual. Then, two weeks ago, racked in ᴘᴀɪɴ, Charlotte went into labor with baby Sophie, and at last the astonishing truth dawned. She said, “I was screaming in ᴘᴀɪɴ and shouting, ‘I’ve got to push something, it’s coming! That was the first time I realized I was pregnant and…

A woman couldn’t believe her ears or eyes when doctors revealed she was expecting quadruplets. Due to the ʀɪsᴋs involved, medical professionals suggested she keep only two of the four babies – but the mother refused. While one doctor agreed with Kendall’s ᴏʙsᴛᴇᴛʀɪᴄɪᴀɴ’s advice, another was uncertain. Kendall recalled them saying she should go ahead with the pregnancy because she had had no issues thus far. The couple knew Kendall needed to reach the 28-week ᴛᴇʀᴍ if they wanted their babies to survive. It was challenging, but they persevered and chose to keep all four ᴜɴʙᴏʀɴ ɪɴꜰᴀɴᴛs. The pregnancy was…

OMAHA, Neb. — Women have been making greater strides in leadership since 2016. But across the broad spectrum, women remain underrepresented in corporate America.

You know that feeling when you close the deal? The sound of victory at the bottom of the funnel? I live for that. I rally my team around securing that coveted prize.

Katherine Johnson’s name is now well known as one of NASA’s “hidden figures,” African American women whose pioneering work was a key part of our success in space. More people than ever before know about the contributions of Johnson and her colleagues, including Mary Jackson, Dorothy Vaughn and other “human computers.” Johnson was born in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918. She was fascinated with numbers as a young person and highly intelligent—a freshman in high school by the time she was 10 years old, high school graduate at 14, and college graduate at 18. She graduated with honors from West Virginia State University in 1937 with degrees in mathematics and French. Her achievement with numbers continued, and she…

In the US, the stories of a select few Black women — Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Ida B. Wells, to name a few — seem to circulate on a regular rotation in school classrooms, inspirational calendars and social media memes. While these women’s contributions to history are incredibly important, there are countless other Black women who are less known but who are equally significant in terms of fully understanding the American experience. “Their stories need to be told,” say Daina Ramey Berry PhD, chair of the history department at the University of Texas at Austin, and Kali Nicole Gross PhD, professor of African American…

However, they are not always recognized for their efforts, with some remaining anonymous and others becoming famous for their achievements.

The accomplishments of Black female historical figures in politics, science, the arts, and more continue to impact society. 01 of 10 Marian Anderson (Feb. 27, 1897–April 8, 1993) Contralto Marian Anderson is considered one of the most important singers of the 20th century.

A biblical village cursed to destruction by Jesus really existed and today lies in ruins only a mile from the Sea of Galilee, archaeologists believe. Bethsaida – the hometown of the disciples Peter, Andrew and Philip – was reputedly where Christ performed two miracles: feeding the multitude and helping a blind man see. But Jesus also cursed the village, alongside two others, for failing to repent in spite of his miracles, warning that it faced worse treatment than Sodom – a city destroyed by God in the Old Testament. The true location of Bethsaida was ultimately lost to history, with different archaeologists…

Why did people think cannibalism was good for their health? The answer offers a glimpse into the zaniest crannies of European history, at a time when Europeans were obsessed with Egyptian mummies. Driven first by the belief that ground-up and tinctured human remains could cure anything from bubonic plague to a headache, and then by the macabre ideas Victorian people had about after-dinner entertainment, the bandaged corpses of ancient Egyptians were the subject of fascination from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Mummy mania Faith that mummies could cure illness drove people for centuries to ingest something that tasted awful.…
