• Ancient Egyptian “Lost Golden City” Called Biggest Find Since Tutankhamun's Tomb. "The city was discovered on the west bank of Luxor near the Colossi of Memnon, depicting Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who would have ruled over the city."

• Doug Mastriano’s Prophets In Pennsylvania. "A shocking weekend with the supporters of the nominee for governor — full of swords, demons, and wild prophecies — shows the theocratic future of the GOP."
• How AI Brought Prime Video’s The Peripheral to Life. "The use of futuristic technology adds flavor to the dual futures of Prime Video sci-fi series The Peripheral."
• Far-Right Hindu Nationalism Is Gaining Ground In The U.S. "Hindutva, an extremist ideology, takes many cues from white nationalism — and it’s endangering millions of Muslims and other religious minorities."
