Image
The city of St. Augustine -- featuring its ancient structures and imposing stone fortress -- stands as a lasting testament to Spain’s rich history in Florida, predating the existence of the United States by many generations. However, during the latter part of the 18th century, specifically over two decades, Great Britain held control of the area.

The Hidden Ties Between Britain and the World's Most Enigmatic Ancient Civilizations

Image
New archaeological research is revealing that, more than a thousand years before Britain became part of the Roman Empire, it was part of an extraordinary Mediterranean-based trading network. Research conducted by archaeologists from five European nations indicates that approximately 3,300 years ago, the western Mediterranean island of Sardinia began transforming into a significant trade hub. This development ultimately connected locations such as Britain, Scandinavia, Spain, and Portugal in the west with areas including present-day Turkey, Syria, Israel, Cyprus, and Crete in the eastern region. A sequence of groundbreaking findings is uncovering, for the very first time, the extraordinary contribution made by this island—one of the planet’s most enigmatic ancient societies, referred to by archaeologists as the Nuragic civilization.

New Discovery Suggests Sutton Hoo Helmet's Origins May Lie Elsewhere Than Sweden

The treasure hunter discovered a tiny metallic stamp on an island located in southern Denmark, featuring markings akin to those seen on the renowned helmet. Peter Pentz, who works as a curator at the National Museum of Denmark, suggests that this finding increases the likelihood that the Sutton Hoo helmet might actually be from his country. The archaeologist informed the GudangMovies21 that if the helmet is confirmed to be from Denmark, it might alter our comprehension of the distribution of power in 7th-century Northern Europe. It is believed that Sutton Hoo was the final resting place of King Raedwald, the ruler of East Anglia, who passed away in 624 AD. Discovered first in 1939, over 260 artifacts came to light at the Suffolk property, among them being an iron and copper-reinforced helmet, wh...
