Bronze Age bowl barrow on Upper Hollesley Common, Suffolk. These are the most numerous type of round barrow and up to 10,000 recorded nationally and no doubt many more lost.

A joint Spanish-Egyptian #archaeology #archeology team has uncovered a tomb from Ancient #Egypt's Old Kingdom
We're talking 4.5 millennia old
Significant but not unheard of
This is the truly amazing part:

4,400 years ago
I don't even understand how

Ancient harbors were far larger than their surviving walls suggest
Ancient Mediterranean harbors are often judged by the structures still visible today. Quays, jetties and moles form the clearest traces, so they often shape estimates of how many ships a port once handled. A new study argues for a wider view.
