Ancient
Journey of the Modern Archaeologist
Archaeology has long been romanticized as a profession of dusty excavation sites, ancient ruins, and explorers trekking through uncharted lands. While this image still holds some truth, the path of the modern archaeologist looks vastly different from the traditional adventurer we imagine. Today’s archaeologists blend scientific precision with cutting-edge technology, merging old-world curiosity with new-age innovation. Their role is not just to discover artifacts but to reconstruct human history, analyze cultural patterns, and interpret the stories of people who lived thousands of years ago. The journey of the modern archaeologist is a journey between worlds — between past and present, mystery and evidence, mythology and science.

The Colossus Beyond the Stars
When the world’s most advanced observatory first detected the strange, rhythmic pulses coming from a desolate quadrant beyond Neptune, no one imagined that the phenomenon had anything to do with life — let alone a creature so massive, so unexplainable, that it would shake the foundations of science itself.

Let's Talk About Today’s Effects of Colonial Racism and Superiority Complex on an Ordinary Joe in SADC. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Colonial borders and centuries of imposed hierarchies did not just shape maps; they shaped lives. Over 110 years ago, the line between Namibia and Southern Angola was drawn, scattering communities, breaking lineages, and uprooting people from their ancestral heartlands. For ordinary people across the SADC region, these historical wounds are not distant memories. They echo in daily life, in lost opportunities, in social exclusion, and in the subtle but persistent superiority complexes that still linger in workplaces, schools, and social spaces.

Ancient Aliens or Ancient Indians?
The standard history we all learn is pretty clear: the Wright brothers successfully launched the first airplane in 1903, and the first space shuttle came much later, in 1976. That’s the official story. But what if human history's timeline for flight is completely wrong? What if incredibly advanced planes and spacecraft were zipping around thousands of years ago, and they were even more sophisticated than the technology we have today?

The Ink of Liberty. AI-Generated.
The dawn of April 19th tasted of cold metal and fear. I, Eliza Carter, sixteen years old, stood at the window of my father’s house, which stood stubbornly by the Concord Road. The air, usually filled with the scent of baking bread and damp earth, was now charged with a silence that felt like a held breath.

A Skull Older Than History: The 700,000-Year-Old Discovery That Challenges Everything We Thought We Knew
When a team of Greek paleoanthropologists brushed the dust off a mysterious skull fragment discovered deep within the Petralona Cave, they had no idea they were holding something that would ignite one of the biggest scientific debates of our time. Initial excitement soon turned into shock when dating tests suggested an age of—unbelievably—around 700,000 years.

Ashes of the Eternal City
Rome was a city that breathed fire long before flames ever touched its walls. Its people lived with a confidence that bordered on destiny, believing nothing could shake the stones of the Eternal City. The streets bustled with merchants shouting prices, children weaving between crowds, and senators in crisp white togas drifting like ghosts toward the Forum. But underneath the marble and noise lived a truth Rome never wanted to face—greatness is fragile, and even eternal things can burn.

Blood on the Sand
The sun over the Roman Empire had a way of turning everything into gold, even the things that were meant to stay hidden. On most days, the Forum glittered. Market stalls shimmered. Soldiers’ armor flashed as if they carried small pieces of the sun on their backs. But on the days when the Games arrived, the sand inside the Colosseum looked different. It shimmered too—but with something darker.

He was Allah’s last messenger after Jesus, who promised his prophecy, to deliver the last and complete religion: Islam.
