I don't know who all is following it, but the Amphipolis tomb is such a weird spectacle. I honestly don't know if there has ever been anything like it (except perhaps some of Ballard's expeditions). It is like nineteenth century style archaeological publicity combined with twenty first century style instant media.

Recently they found yet another shipwreck buried in the sand on a New Jersery beach. Time will tell if it is anything really valuable, but it's thought that it might be the wreck of the Ayrshire, a 19th-century brig that ran aground just offshore of Abescon, NJ in December of 1849.

The Ayershire was notable as one of the first shipwrecks that used a "Francis Lifecart" to save very nearly all the passengers and crew. The metal-covered rescue vessel is currently preserved in the Smithsonian.

Woah, recently some new documents regarding Henry Kissinger & US foreign policy have been declassified. Theres been a long battle to get these sources, and Kissinger probably did not want to see these released before his death. A large batch was already released to the public, but many remain confidential. (for an interesting read on the background of getting these sources click this)

Some of these confidential documents were recently released and it shows an insight in Kissinger his opinion on the presence of Cuban troops in Africa. He proposed to president Ford to "crack the Cubans" if they would further intervene in additional African countries. "If they move into Namibia or Rhodesia, I would be in favor of clobbering them,"
