Shark teeth fossils discovered in Cape Breton V-shaped indentations in a rock surface on a Dominion, N.S., beach may prove freshwater sharks once lived in the area millions of years ago. Experts hope ongoing research will reveal more about ancient history in the Maritimes. The CBC's Samuel Murrant has the story. https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/9.7299681?cmp=rss

Podcasting is amazing as it brings together people with amazing shared interests. Dr Rad and I were fortunate to be interviewed by Tristan for The Ancients podcast many years ago, and yesterday we got to meet in person! It was amazing to be in the room as Tristan and Alastair chatted all things Herakles and to catch up with them both after the event ☺️ #AncientHistory #Podcasting

Over time, ancient civilizations learned to bring water to them instead of moving themselves to water. Ancient Libya, Rome, and Greece learned to move the water to their cities through the power of gravity in aqueducts and man-made tunnels. This single innovation changed civilizations forever. This Roman aqueduct in Zaghouan, Tunisia, extends 132 kilometers, and was built to supply water to Carthage. To optimize water pressure and protection, the structure transitions between underground masonry channels—which prevented evaporation and contamination—and the soaring above-ground stone arcades seen crossing the plains. At its peak, the Zaghouan Aqueduct (also known as the Aqueduct of Carthage), successfully discharged between 17 and 32 million litres of water per day (200 to 370 litres per second). The network emptied directly into the monumental Cisterns of La Malga in Carthage, fueling the massive public Baths of Antoninus and the city's public fountains. #AncientHistory #Aqueducts #Water

#AncientEgyptian princesses were ‘powerful’ weapon users, new analysis suggests These findings challenge a long-held belief about weapons found in female burial sites By Jackie Flynn Mogensen, July 17, 2026 Excerpt: " 'We wanted to see if the skeletons themselves supported the presence of the weapons found beside them,' [#ZeinabHashesh] says. "By looking at the princesses’ internal bone structure and muscle attachment sites, as well as by analyzing chemical signatures left on the remains, Hashesh and her team began to piece together a picture of what the princesses’ daily lives and burials may have looked like. " 'Our big takeaway is that these women were ‘active ritual agents’ whose lives involved disciplined physical strength,' she says, participating in activities that possibly included archery or the use of daggers. "In Princess Ita’s case, her muscle attachments 'strongly reflect the habitual gripping of weapons like daggers or maces,' Hashesh says. "Even more clear was Princess Noub-Hotep, whose skeleton, she says, 'provides the most definitive evidence for the 'archer’s grip,' including 'a unique bowing' of a hand bone, a feature that Hashesh sees as evidence of having to drawing a bow. "Meanwhile, she adds, Princess Itaweret appeared to have survived 'significant trauma” to her ribs and feet bones, 'indicating a high-risk, active lifestyle.'

Drumtroddan Standing Stones. This old feller is the last stone standing in what was once a row of 4, possibly 5 stones, pointing towards the Galloway Hills in the east. #Scotland #AncientHistory #StandingStoneSunday #blackandwhitephotography #SouthernScotland

The quest to decipher the 4,000-year-old writing system of Linear Elamite had long been considered impossible to crack. "Of all the writing systems used in Iran, the only one that is truly local – developed within the territory we now call Iran – is Linear Elamite." #AncientHistory #AncientWriting #IranHistory #Archeology https://www.france24.com/en/french-researcher-cracks-4-000-year-old-script-from-iran

Stone that has witnessed thousands of years of history. Monumental figures carved into rock gaze into the distance with the same dignity they’ve held for centuries. Every detail – from facial features to traces of ancient color – tells a story of power, belief, and the human desire to leave something eternal behind. Standing here, it’s impossible not to feel the weight of the past. #Egypt #AncientHistory #TravelPhotography #Wanderlust #ExploreMore
