He is the most famous name in ancient Egypt — and almost nothing you know about him is true. You know the golden mask. You know the “curse.” You may know he died young. Here is what’s underneath: a nine-year-old boy handed the throne of Egypt in the wreckage of his father’s religious revolution. A child king used by powerful men to undo the Amarna heresy. Dead at nineteen under circumstances scholars still argue about. And then deliberately erased — struck from the king lists by his successors, his monuments usurped, his name overwritten. The erasure is the reason he survived. ...

In 1878, a Jerusalem antiquities dealer named Moses Wilhelm Shapira acquired a curious biblical manuscript consisting of sixteen leather strips. The manuscript, written in ancient, Paleo-Hebrew contained what appeared to be a form of the Bible’s Book of Deuteronomy but with significant variations.

Shapira believed that his manuscript was both ancient and authentic. In 1883, he presented his scroll to the leading scholars of Europe. Newspapers ...

Today, with artificial intelligence transforming how we analyze landscapes and detect patterns invisible to the human eye, a compelling question emerges: could modern AI have identified this 14,500-year-old temple complex decades earlier?
