Luxor, Egypt, Dec 29 (EFE).- A group of Egyptologists from Spain have discovered two tombs that housed almost 60 mummies at site in the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor. “The most important thing this year is the discovery of two tombs, almost six meters deep,” made up of “two chambers each and housing around 60 mummies and remains of mummies,” Francisco J. Martin, the president of the Vizier Amenhotep Huy Project, told Efe. Martín, who leads a team of 22 Spanish Egyptologists and eight Egyptian experts, said the tombs were dated after Vizier Amenhotep-Huy’s tomb (18th dynasty). The site…

Archaeologists have found more than 300 tombs dating back around 4,500 years in central China’s Henan Province, which are of great significance to studying the burial system and social structure of prehistoric China. Located in the Suyang relics site in the city of Luoyang, the tomb complex covers an area of about 15,000 square meters, and all of the tombs are earth pits in a rectangular shape, according to the Luoyang Municipal Institute of Archaeology. “The tomb cluster is large in size and can be traced back to the transition period from Yangshao Culture to Longshan Culture. It is extremely…

The restoration of the fountain with two pools, including over 150 original architectural fragments found among the ruins on the third terrace of the city and 24 imitation blocks produced from the original type of stone, was completed with contributions from the…

Nearly a quarter of the leaders on the 2022 Forbes List Of The World’s Most Powerful Women play a major role in politics and policy at a time when rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a looming climate crisis threaten geopolitical stability. And while women remain vastly underrepresented throughout all levels of government, their combined political might continues to have an outsized impact on the world stage. Collectively, these women directly oversee or influence nearly 3 billion people and over half of the world’s GDP. But the dynamics of political power are shifting as leaders must adapt to growing unrest and increasing…

She’s been called a “small lady with a large I.Q.,” but future Fed Chair Janet Yellen should be called something else now: the most powerful woman in history. Okay, I know that sounds a little hyperbolic. A lot hyperbolic actually. How is the ability to set interest rates more powerful than Queen Elizabeth and Victoria’s five-continent empires, or Catherine II’s efforts to bring the Enlightenment to Russia? Well, the answer is one part context, and another part depressing. The context is that the Fed Chair is maybe the third-most important job in the world right now, and being powerful in a globalized world matters…

News magazines from Time to Austria’s Profil have put Volodymyr Zelenskiy on their covers as Person of the Year 2022. The business weekly Forbes’s choice was a little more surprising: naming Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, “the world’s most powerful woman”. A good choice. After a weak start three years ago, the former German defence minister is becoming Europe’s crisis manager par excellence. With her somewhat formal, stiff demeanour, Von der Leyen may have won few hearts and minds, but during the pandemic, and especially since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February, she has established a reputation for…

The clip shows a woman sitting on a stream of water. At one glance, it appears that the woman is sitting on a shallow river bed. But, as the camera pans out, a deep plunge pool can be seen. The waterfall shown in the video is the Victoria Falls, located on South Africa’s Zambezi River. By Srimoyee Chowdhury: Having a knack for adventures that give a rush of adrenaline is not that common in many. And the video that we are about to show you is simply not for the faint-hearted. Shared on Twitter, the video has gone crazy viral…

In 2018, the Marvel Cinematic Universe released the third of four Avengers movies with Avengers: Infinity War. Like the previous Avengers films, it brought all the MCU heroes together, this time to stop the Titan Thanos (Josh Brolin) from collecting six Infinity Stones and using them to destroy half of all life across the universe. While it didn’t bring together all the MCU heroes in a grand battle like Avengers: Endgame, Infinity War proved itself as one of, if not the best, MCU movie. The film cemented its status through its characterizations and structure, which is only achievable through meticulous world-building. 10/10 The Characters Make The Most Of Limited Screen…

Like many films and franchises, the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn’t be complete without romances. Behind every hero is a love interest who inspires, encourages, and motivates them to be the best version of themselves. Some of these relationships may end, but their impact on the MCU never wavers, even as these fan-favorite combinations come and go. Although they don’t always last, the relationships in the MCU are a staple in the various films and series. Where would Steve Rogers be without the support of Peggy Carter? Who would have Tony Stark become if he didn’t have Pepper Potts at his side? These…

The Marvel Cinematic Universe spent its first decade on a slow incline of growth with its characters and overarching narrative. As a result, when the time came for the universe’s heroes to face off against Thanos, it had serious stakes and felt like a climactic battle worthy of the hype it garnered. But after reaching the highest heights, its next phase had the unenviable task of matching what came before and starting anew with a new collection of heroes and stories. For the most part, Phase 4 has helped introduce new avenues of the MCU, such as the supernatural aspects and the…

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania revealed a new look at the Pym-Van Dyne Family’s new threads. Originally shared by USA Today, the image of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster features Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) alongside Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly). All three characters are wearing what many fans are describing as post-apocalyptic gear. The original Ant-Man and his daughter sport draped robes and goggles while the former Wasp covers her head with a brown hood. While the origin of these new clothes is unknown, the movie’s trailers suggest they’re picked up when the characters are transported to…

Each mother’s breastfeeding journey is unique and must be respected. Some relish this moment, some fight it, but no matter what her journey has been, any mother who has been breastfeeding for an extended period feels emotional when it comes to the last time. Maya Vonderstrasse talked about how she felt during this period and how difficult it is to end some cycles. When mom of two Maya Vorderstrasse got tired of seeing pregnancy portrayed as perfect and easy on social media, she decided to show the world how it actually feels.

Every year, the International Association of Professional Childbirth Photographers (IAPBP) awards the best photographs that recreate this unique and special moment. The images that have won the jury prize this year stand out for how emotional they are. Giving birth to a child is undoubtedly one of the most exciting moments in a woman’s life, which is why some of them decide to immortalize the occasion with the help of professionals. Since 2011, the Birth Photographers Association of International Photographers has been carrying out a project in which it annually rewards the photographs that best capture the emotion and reality…

Whatever people’s feelings are on the DCEU, it’s clear that things aren’t going according to plan. The grand “reboot” that supposedly began with Black Adam was aborted by the film’s middling box office reception, leading to a recent series of contradictory reports that leaves the entire saga in limbo. A Dec. 7 article in The Hollywood Reporter stated that a third Wonder Woman movie was on hold, just one day after star Gal Gadot tweeted how she “can’t wait to share her next chapter” with fans. The Flash movie arrives in 2023, complete with the troubling baggage of star Ezra Miller, Henry Cavill’s return as Superman is in active doubt, and Bruce Wayne quite…

MCU mainstay Jeremy Renner reached out to fans on social media for the first time since his devastating injuries that sent the actor to hospital. Renner made unfortunate headlines early in the New Year, as it was reported the actor was in a Nevada hospital after a devastating snow plowing accident that saw a Snowcat roll over the Marvel star’s leg. More details of the accident emerged since that initial report, noting that the 51-year-old was helping to clear a stuck car “stranded in the snow” near his home when the event occurred.   Now, Renner is well enough to update the world (albeit briefly). Jeremy Renner Thanks…

Disney has released a collectible pin depicting multiple Lokis ahead of Loki Season 2’s debut on Disney+. Even though Loki’s sophomore season isn’t set to release until Summer 2023, anything related to the series is worth paying attention to. Not only is this first-ever second season of an MCU Disney+ series shrouded in secrecy, but Loki Season 1 also stands as one of Phase 4’s most integral projects in that it introduced Variants, timelines, Multiversal Wars, and Kang the Conqueror. Despite a handful of teasers and on-set photos, it’s still anyone’s guess as to what the God of Mischief is in for this time around. But out ahead of Marvel Studios’ 2023 slate, Disney…

Naming one child is hard enough, but when you find out you’re having twins, it can be almost impossible to decide on two names you like. If you’re looking for baby names for two boys, two girls, a boy and a girl, or want to keep your baby names gender-neutral, turn to the list below can provide some inspiration for you. Abigail and Andrew These two pairs of baby names for twins both start with the same letter and are utterly classic. Abigail means “the father’s joy” and Andrew means “strong” or “courageous.” Both names can also be shortened with…

Having a child is always an extraordinary event, but it is even more so when pregnancy defies all scientific rules and conventions. As we know, there is an age at which it is impossible for a woman to give birth, but the story we will tell you today will remind you that this is a rule, and as with any rule, there are exceptions to confirm it and avoid it as well. A 65-year-old German woman, who already has 13 children from four different fathers, gave birth to quadruplets after undergoing an ᴀʀᴛɪꜰɪᴄɪᴀʟ ɪɴsᴇᴍɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴘʀᴏᴄᴇᴅᴜʀᴇ in Ukraine. She became pregnant…

The numbers of multiple births have increased over the last twenty years. This increase is primarily due to the fact that one-third of women who are having babies are over the age of thirty, and these women are more likely to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ multiples. Another reason for the increase in multiple births is due to Fᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ ᴅʀᴜɢs and Fᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ procedures. When Tom and Jackie Ochenkowski learned they were expection at her eight-week ultrasound appointment, Jackie found out they were getting a three-for-one deal. On May 18, 2016 at 32 weeks, Jackie gave birth to her triplet daughters ― Aubrey, Bailey and Charlotte…

Not only in India, but women across the world are shining in different sectors. They are breaking age-old patriarchal doctrines and raiding what was traditionally considered male bastions. MacKenzie Scott tops Forbes’s 18th annual ranking of the world’s most powerful women in 2021. On December 7, Forbes announced its 18th annual ranking of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women, the definitive audit of the foremost CEOs and iconic entrepreneurs, heads of state, pioneer philanthropists and policymakers who are solving society’s most intractable problems.

“Did you ask your mother?” asks the woman in the school office, handing a seven-year-old me an unsigned permission slip. She asks this question as if I am like all my friends, but I am not. I have known this from a very young age. My mother, who shares 50 percent of my DNA is on the West Coast of America, while I am on the East. I cannot ask her to sign the permission slip. I stare at the woman, whose last name is a gem, Diamond or Ruby, I cannot remember. I take the permission slip. Stuffing it…

Kotte Aguilar was motivated to learn how to fight back after her anxiety was triggered following the murder of Juliana Herrera in Christchurch in January. “I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating – I was so scared. I was sleeping with a knife under my bed,” she said. She said she had just dropped someone off near the scene of Herrera’s murder when she found out what had occurred. “It really hit me and so I think I went into shock for a few days,” she said. She herself had been assaulted years prior. “I just felt there was someone out there hurting…

Over the past several years, WWE has shown more of an interest in booking strong women’s wrestling, with a number of stars truly breaking out as some of the most popular WWE Superstars regardless of gender. 2022 would not be a great year for women’s wrestling within WWE, thanks to a number of issues including inconsistent booking, a depleted roster for much of the year thanks to releases, injuries, and the exits of Naomi & Sasha Banks. With a smaller roster on hand for the main roster women of WWE, these would be the 10 best women’s wrestlers in WWE for 2022.…
