1. The Tomb of Khentkaus III: A Cautionary Tale of Climate Change?

   The reign and remains of a recently discovered “Queen Mother” of ancient Egypt will provide vital new information about the civilization’s distant past, and may provide cautionary information for modern times too.

   Queen Khentkaus III, who had graffiti on her looted tomb calling her the Queen Mother, lived around 2450 BC—a couple of hundred years before the Egyptian civilization failed because drought caused the Nile River to stop flooding. Her skull was smashed in, experts believe by grave robbers.

Now a new study of four 8,000- to 10,000-year-old mummies from Peru's Tres Ventanas (‘Three Windows’) cave may help researchers understand more about these people, who cultivated potatoes and corn and domesticated animals around the same time as farmers in Egypt and Mesopotamia.

8. The Tatars: The Golden Horde, People from Hell, Or Something Else?

   Today, Tatars is a collective name given to a number of Turkic-speaking groups that live in Russia and several former Soviet countries. But Tatars has had various other meanings through history. For instance, the Chinese referred to all of their northern neighbors as the barbaric ‘Ta-Ta’ or ‘Da-Da’, and during the 14th century Westerners used the same term to refer to the population of the Mongol Empire and the khanates that succeeded it.

18. Hotly Debated Origins of Pre-Inca Civilization of Tiwanaku Revealed by Genetic Study

    Tiwanaku – one of the largest Pre-Columbian settlements and archaeological sites, located in western Bolivia, near Lake Titicaca, has hotly debated origins.
