New research reveals that the Indus Valley Civilization’s decline was driven by centuries-long drought cycles, reshaping settlement patterns and ultimately leading to its collapse. Why the Indus Valley Civilization Fell: Climate Clues Behind an Ancient Mystery The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), also known as the Harappan Civilization, was one of the world’s earliest urban societies. Flourishing between 5,000 and 3,500 years ago along the Indus River system in present-day Pakistan and northwest India, it rivaled the grandeur of ancient Egypt in scale and sophistication. Yet, unlike Egypt, the Indus Valley mysteriously faded away — leaving scholars puzzled for centuries. A new study published in Communications Earth & Environment and reported by SciTechDaily sheds light on this enduring mystery. Using advanced climate simulations, researchers discovered that a series of severe droughts, each lasting more than 85 years , played a decisive role in the civilization’s gradual de...

Comet 3I/ATLAS is lighting up the skies as it approaches its closest encounter with the Sun and Earth, offering astronomers a rare chance to study an interstellar visitor in detail. A Rare Interstellar Guest Comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object ever detected in our solar system, following the famous ʻOumuamua (1I/2017 U1) and comet 2I/Borisov . Unlike comets born within our solar system, 3I/ATLAS originated far beyond, likely ejected from a distant star system long before our Sun formed. Discovered in July 2025 , the comet is estimated to be about 11 kilometers (7 miles) wide and is racing through space at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h) . Its unusually straight trajectory and chemical composition confirmed its interstellar origin. NASA & ESA Capture Stunning Activity Recent observations from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) show that 3I/ATLAS is becoming increasingly active as it nears perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on October 29...

A remarkable archaeological discovery in Egypt has shed new light on one of the Nile Delta’s most enigmatic burial sites. French archaeologists working in the ancient capital of Tanis uncovered a treasure trove of 225 funerary figurines , solving a mystery that has puzzled historians for decades. A Rare Find in Tanis The figurines, known as ushabti , were traditionally placed in tombs to serve the deceased in the afterlife. What makes this find extraordinary is that such a complete set has not been uncovered in Tanis since 1946. The figurines were carefully arranged in a star-shaped pattern around a trapezoidal pit, with rows at the bottom — a deliberate and symbolic placement. More than half of the figurines are female, which archaeologists describe as “quite exceptional.” This detail offers new insights into burial practices and gender representation in funerary traditions of the 21st Dynasty . Identifying the Pharaoh The discovery also solved a long-standing mystery : the ide...
