norman foster time capsule america 250

A time capsule designed by British architect Norman Foster has been buried in Washington D.C. to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. The titanium box features 13 facets and stars representing the original colonies, and contains letters from King Charles III and President Donald Trump, along with soil from George Washington's ancestral home. It was presented by Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin and U.K. officials to the U.S. Department of Interior, and is not to be opened until July 4, 2276.

pompeii discoveries

Archaeologists have uncovered a series of remarkable discoveries at Pompeii, the ancient Roman city buried by Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. Recent finds include life-sized statues of a priestess and a man from a tomb, frescoes depicting Dionysian rituals and mythological scenes, an extravagantly decorated 'tiny house' called the House of Phaedra, and evidence of aspirational interior design. These artifacts, unearthed in suburban villas and tombs, range from a bejeweled priestess statue to children's gladiator doodles and ancient fast-food counters, revealing new details about daily life in the Roman Republic.
