On today's episode of Ancient News, James from the Ancient Beat Newsletter (ancientbeat.substack.com/) brings us his favorite stories from the week's headlines:
Pollen samples indicate that the Khufu Branch of the Ancient Nile may have been used to transport stones to the Giza pyramid complex! Evidence of an organized agriculture banana plantation has been found in the Torres Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea that is 2000 years old, challenging our perception of these peoples as hunter gatherers! The incredible archaeological site of Sanxingdui in Central Asia continues to deliver more spectacular finds, including a 300 pound bronze creature from 3000 years ago! The Iceni Celts of ancient Britain and the Etruscans share one thing in common in two new papers: a resilience in the face of Roman occupation and victory against cultural erasure! And finally, a blockbuster trio of new papers on the origin of Proto-Indo-Europeans has sequenced the genomes of 727 ancient peoples who lived over the span of 10,000 years in the region (including the famous Griffin Warrior of Ancient Greece) and found that the expected Yamnaya DNA was not found in Anatolian samples!
