Last year, excavations in Chichester's Priory Park revealed a masonry causeway and bridge that would have once led to the city's Norman-era motte and bailey castle. According to a statement released by the Chichester District Council (CDC), renewed archaeological work at the site has continued to illuminate this period in the city's history. A team recently uncovered the foundations of a stone tower, or barbican, that was built to help defend the Norman castle. It was previously thought that the castle was built solely from timber. The recent discoveries have shown that it was actually a much more substantial structure...

Welcome to this weeks mystery. I have long been fascinated with the notion of Crossroad graves as a marker to help us understand the landscape. And so when this particular one cropped up on a map it seemed really odd to me that all the usual signs were missing. What happened at Elkhams!? This is On EVERY Map. But It Doesn't Exist. | 13:34 Paul Whitewick | 178K subscribers | 2,420 views | June 15, 2025 00:00 - Intro 01:08 - Sawyer 02:32 - Oram 04:43 - Kitts 07:26 - Woots 09:54 - Elkham 12:37 - Jenna

R. Kelly allegedly overdosed in prison and was rushed to the hospital last week. In court documents obtained by The Post, the rapper’s attorney, Beau B.

The demonstrations — which coincided with President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary parade in Washington, D.C. — were a response to what organizers called the president’s authoritarian actions.

Oxford Cotswold Archaeology (OCA) is currently conducting one of the largest projects ever undertaken in the east of England at a site known as Sizewell C. According to the East Anglian Daily Times, the team recently unearthed hundreds of earthen pits, a discovery which has provided new clues -- and posed some questions -- about daily life in Neolithic Britain. The mysterious pits are around 6,000 years old and range in size from shallow craters measuring three feet in diameter to large cavities 10 feet across and six feet deep. Analysis of pottery fragments revealed that almost all of the...

The French Left, which has long excelled in its ability to unite against a common enemy, appears more divided than ever and incapable of defining a unified strategy for action. At issue are tensions caused by the positions of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s party, La France Insoumise (LFI), whose antisemitic and pro-Hamas stance is alienating more and more of its supporters. On June 14th and 15th, the French Socialist Party, one of the oldest formations on the French left, held its annual congress. The party has long dominated political life on this side of the political spectrum, but for several years now...

BBC News reports that a metal detectorist recently retrieved a rare and unique gold coin from a field in Norwich. The artifact was analyzed by numismatist Adrian Marsden of the Norfolk Historic Environment Service, who believes it dates to between a.d. 640 and 660 and may be the oldest Anglo-Saxon coin ever found in East Anglia.

One side of the thrymsa, a type of early Anglo-Saxon shilling, features a dancing man who seems to be holding...

FBI Director Kash Patel announced on Monday that the FBI has located documents that detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP. According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations. And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party. Kash tweeted out...

President Donald Trump’s deputies have reversed the short-lived ICE exemption policy for hotel, farm, and restaurant companies, according to the Washington Post. Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including its Homeland Security Investigations division, told agency leaders in a call Monday that agents must continue conducting immigration raids at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants, according to two people familiar with the call. The new instructions were shared in an 11 a.m. call to representatives from 30 field offices across the country.

FBI Director Kash Patel dropped a bombshell Monday evening, handing Congress an intelligence report that raises serious questions about China’s role in the 2020 election. According to the report, Chinese operatives mass-produced counterfeit U.S. driver’s licenses as part of a broader scheme to flood the system with fake mail-in ballots—benefiting… you guessed it… Joe Biden. This wasn’t just foreign meddling—it was industrial-scale fraud, enabled by a broken mail-in voting system the Democrats have long been exploiting. The report confirms what many of us suspected all along: the integrity of the 2020 election wasn’t just compromised—it was hijacked. According to officials...

Is gold calling out a broken global financial system? One Big…Lie? Earlier this year, I was asked to give my most “heretic” opinion about the global financial system. This was an unusual yet bold question, and after a brief pause, I answered that the entire system was…, well: “A lie.” This may seem like a sensational response in an industry sometimes prone to the sensational; however, if we look at stubborn facts, the answer is truer than it is extreme. When it comes to a financial system rotting from within, the Botox-like beauty of our ballooning S&P and centralized credit...
