Powerhouse Breakfasting Platform Unearthed At Hadrian’s Villa
Archaeologists excavating at Emperor Hadrian´s villa, a super-famous 1,900-year-old Roman countryside retreat, have discovered his lush breakfasting room. On a semi-circular platform amidst fountains, pools of water and beams of light, the legendary ruler breakfasted daily, displaying his power, and reasserting his semi-divine status. Hadrian's villa, known as Villa Adriana, was built at the foot of an Apennine mountain at “Tibur,” now called Tivoli, about 20 miles (32 km) east of Rome in 117 AD.

Ancient Vanishings: The mysterious and supernatural disappearance of Romulus
In 753 BC, two twins, Romulus and Remus, founded the city of Rome, and Romulus became the ruler of the city and reigned for 39 years. The identity of the two brothers has both historical and legendary character. According to legend, the two were sons of Mars, the god of war, and they were breastfed and brought up by a she-wolf. History says that, at that time, many men were looked upon as "sons of Mars" and instead of the romantic background, Romulus and Remus had likely been raised by a prostitute.

The Astronaut of Casar Is An Unsolved Mystery, But Can We Explain It?

The Oldest Maya Murals and Royal Violence at San Bartolo, Guatemala
In 2001, deep in the sweltering jungles of Guatemala, completely by chance, archaeologists stumbled into the substructure of a lost Maya pyramid, which was the discovery of San Bartolo. To their utter astonishment, they discovered an enormous, domed chamber, its walls bejeweled with exquisitely preserved murals.
