Rare 9/11 Footage Nearly Lost Forever, Found 23 Years Later.
On September 11, 2001, 24-year-old Japanese man Kei Sugimoto filmed the attack on the World Trade Center from a rooftop about 3 kilometers away. Twenty-three years later in 2024, he rediscovered the deteriorating tapes and published the footage, preserving a visual record that came close to disappearing forever.

A fossil feather from the age of dinosaurs may explain why only some birds survived.
The best preserved feather from the age of the dinosaurs was just revealed — and it was inside a blob of fossilized poop. That feather is from an aquatic bird that lived 66 million years ago.

(Gross political interference)
In late Friday night social media posts, President Donald Trump demands the Smithsonian to install a colossal statue of George Washington outside the National Museum of American History and a special exhibit honoring the nation's first president.
For Constitution Day on Sept. 17, Trump asks them to install the 11-foot statue of Washington featured at the recent Freedom 250 IndyCar race in the museum's Flag Hall.

An Egyptian scarab amulet was discovered in an Oretani tomb at the Necropolis of El Toro in central Spain. Made of faience and inscribed with Egyptian hieroglyphs and Demotic characters, it likely reached Iberia through Phoenician-Punic trade networks by the 6th century BC. Buried alongside local cremated remains and grave goods, the object shows how far Egyptian symbols and Mediterranean exchange reached long before Roman rule.

Gifts from Emperor #Puyi to his departing tutor Johnston reside in the SOAS library and archives. These include the emperor’s fan, now part of the Library’s Special Chinese Art Collection. The black fan features a landscape picture in gold and bears an inscription of the Imperial Seal of Xuantong (Puyi was the Xuantong Emperor). The fan was given as a farewell gift on 15th September 1930 when Johnston left China following the formal handover of Weihai back to Chinese sovereignty.

A 12th-century BC Elamite blue chalcedony pendant from ancient Iran, preserved in the British Museum. Engraved in #cuneiform, it carries a remarkably intimate dedication from King Shilhak-Inshushinak to his daughter: "I, Shilhak-Inshushinak, enlarger of the realm, took this stone from the land of Puralish; what I painstakingly crafted, I placed here and gave to Bar-Uli, my beloved daughter."

Have you ever seen the Singing Stone? When it was first displayed at the Museum, this massive block of vibrant blue azurite and green malachite (both copper ore minerals) made high-pitched sounds when the humidity changed with the weather and seasons. These noises were produced as the porous stone absorbed and released moisture from the air. Since it’s now exhibited in a climate-controlled environment, it no longer sings.

Speaking of the #Hermitage, the Peacock Clock is one of the most extraordinary surviving 18th‑century #automata. Created in the late 1770s by James Cox, it was bought by Prince Grigory Potemkin for Catherine the Great, shipped to Russia in pieces, and reassembled there.
