A very rare and interesting archaeological find from Belgium: a wooden water pipe from Roman times (estimated to be between the 1st and 3rd century CE). Did you know wooden plumbing was a thing back then? buff.ly/wsi5lIs

Another amazing archaeological find, this time from Romania. A complete set of iron tools belonging to a Dacian stonemason was found at the site of an ancient limestone quarry. The tools were hastily left behind there in 102 CE. buff.ly/cL6G5vR

He wasn’t a king. He wasn’t a priest. But this man’s tomb tells the story of one of the most fascinating expeditions in Egyptian history. Over 4,000 years ago, Harkhuf crossed the desert on a mission to Yam— and left behind a record that we can read today.

Next time someone says archaeologists don’t do science, kindly ask them to remind you what the key steps of the scientific method are.

During ongoing excavations at Era de Pando in Peru, a 4,000-year old fire altar has been found. The site is part of the Caral-Supe culture, the oldest urban society in the Americas. buff.ly/7rpN8jn
