New facts in the history of Ancient Egypt have been discovered
It would seem that Egypt has been dug up and down, but archaeologists and scientists are finding new facts to study. For example, mysterious plasma bubbles have appeared above the pyramids; China has recorded these strange atmospheric phenomena using modern radar. Archaeologists have discovered a 3,000-year-old fort in the desert, which contains evidence of the pharaoh’s stay. The ancient Egyptians used so much copper that they polluted the harbor near the pyramids.

Archaeologists in Norway have discovered an ancient cemetery where mostly children were buried
Archaeologists in Norway have discovered a cemetery dating from 800 to 200 BCE, where mostly children were buried.

Each grave was marked by carefully placed, symmetrical stone circles. The group of 41 stone circles near Fredrikstad in southeastern Norway puzzled the team of archaeologists when they first discovered them. What they found beneath the circles did not help solve any of the mysteries.
