In thousands of years of human history, no machine has been able to truly replicate human’s greatest tool.

Archaeologists uncover ancient Byzantine city in Egypt’s western desert

Separately, 18 ancient tombs were discovered at Marina el-Alamein, near Alexandria, which includes rock-cut and limestone tombs, pottery and a granite sarcophagus. The tourism and antiquities ministry said the first discovery reveals details of daily life, urban development and economic activities when Egypt was part of the Byzantine empire.

Reducing speed limits in cities can save lives. Why is Australia still reluctant?

Norfolk Island’s unique corals under triple threat from disease, El Niño and now government-approved dredging

A failure to manage sediment and pollution washing into bays from cattle farming, cleared land along with wastewater has been blamed for widespread disease and outbreaks of algae over the corals.
