Archeologists Investigate Richborough: The Longest Roman-Occupied Site In Britain

In 1990, during the height of the First Gulf War, workers in Jerusalem accidentally uncovered an ancient 1st-century tomb. Inside lay the limestone ossuary (bone box) of High Priest Joseph Caiaphas—the man known to history as the mastermind behind the arrest and trial of Jesus. Years later, an astonishing detail re-emerged: buried alongside Caiaphas were two bent Roman iron nails.

For the last hundred years, the development of modern mankind was primarily explained through the so-called Out of Africa theory, claiming that the development of humans and apes happened primarily in Africa. But in recent years bone finds, much older than the earliest finds from Africa, have challenged that belief. 7.2-million-year-old remains of a prehistoric human, Graecopithecus freybergi, and 6-million-year-old human-like footprints were found in Greece and presented in 2017.
