Largest Collection of Cave Art Found in Eastern Spain Dated to 22,000 BC
A team of archaeologists from the Universities of Zaragoza and Alicante in Spain discovered a cave near the Eastern Iberian coast that is more heavily decorated with ancient artwork than any other site in the region. The early estimates are that the dozens of painted and engraved images found inside Cova Dones Cave were added to its limestone walls more than 24,000 years ago, when most of Europe was still covered with glaciers.

It seems pretty clear right now that AI is likely the “next big thing.” This exciting (and perhaps scary) technology seems set to change the world and revolutionize our lives in a myriad of ways. But some of its potential applications may not be all that obvious at first glance. Archaeology is the study of human history through the excavation and analysis of artifacts and ancient structures. When most of us think of archaeology we think of people digging through dusty earth picking at bits of broken pot. How can AI help them?

Ancient Medical Knowledge Is Written in the Skin
According to legend, twelve thousand years ago in western China the Sons of Reflected light came down from the skies. They were a strange race said to be seven feet tall and wearing clothing like nothing anyone had ever seen before, it reflected light thus giving them their name (Fankuang Tzu).
