King Thutmose II Tomb

In a groundbreaking archaeological achievement, the tomb of Pharaoh Thutmose II has been unearthed near Luxor, Egypt, marking the first discovery of a royal burial site since that of Tutankhamun in 1922. This monumental find offers profound insights into Egypt's 18th Dynasty and the enigmatic reign of Thutmose II.

The tomb, designated Wadi C-4, was initially discovered in October 2022 by a joint Egyptian-British archaeological team led by Dr. Piers Litherland. Located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area, approximately 2.5 kilometers west of the Valley of the Kings, the site was concealed beneath layers of flood debris, which had solidified over millennia. This challenging environment required nearly three years of meticulous excavation to reveal the tomb's true significance.

Carn Gluze

Carn Gluze which is also known as Ballowall Barrow is perched on a cliff edge near the village of St. Just in Cornwall.

Carn Gluze is an unusual multiphase site which was developed into a complex structure over time spanning the Neolithic and Bonze Ages (3500 – 2500BC). It usually described as a chambered tomb.

The site of Carn Gluze was hidden for many years beneath mine waste and was only excavated at the end of the nineteenth century. This work discovered that inside the barrow, or mound which was itself contained within two concentric ring walls there were five cists. Sone of the cist contained pottery and cremation remains dating from the Bronze Age.

Bant’s Carn

By Mike_bjm

(2023-03-25)

Bant’s Carn is a bronze age burial chamber. It is a large ‘entrance grave’, and one of 80 similar structures on the Isles of Scilly.

The carn is some 10 metres (33 feet) in length set on a hillside above the prehistoric settlement of Haling Down.

Excavations at the turn of the twentieth century found very little of interest save for some pottery and some piles of cremated human bones.

Bant’s Carn consists of a kerbed platform around a mound which contains the burial chamber. The entrance to the chamber is somewhat taller at approximately 1.5 metres (5 feet) than many similar carns of the sane age.

Slieve Gullion Passage Grave

By Mike_bjm

(2022-02-27)

A five-thousand-year-old passage tomb close to the summit of Slieve Gullion near the Hag’s Lake in County Armagh. This is claimed to be the highest such tomb on the island of Ireland.

Archaeological work carried out in the tomb has revealed cremated bone, flint and chert flakes, and a barded and tanged arrowhead.

Leading from the entrance is a lintelled passage which opens out into a corbelled octagonal chamber. On the wall directly opposite the entrance is a small, recessed chamber.

The tomb is aligned so that the setting sun at the winter solstice full illuminates the chamber and the recess beyond.

Skelde Overballe Long Barrow

By Dania

(2011-03-13)

In 1991 the Haderslev Museum started an excavation of a portion
of the site, located south of the fence to the neighboring field.

The study revealed a well-preserved early neolithic long barrow
with a dolmen chamber at the west end.
On top of the long barrow a bronze age burial (period II) was found.
A round barrow was erected over this tomb which encircled most
of the long mound, except the long barrows western end,
which was removed on that occasion.

Round barrow was at a time (per. II-III) expanded with particular
an outlying stone chain of very large stones. There is no evidence
of a burial facility central to the expansion, but a rich woman's grave
from per. III was buried in the northwest side of the extended barrow.
The grave contained spiral earrings gold, neck bracelets and ankle rings of bronze, bronze spirals, spiral plates, belt canned tutulus, spiral beads of
gold and a blue glass bead. In the east side of the hill was an urn grave
without equipment dating y. bronze age.
After investigation, the site was partially reconstructed.

Popcorn Sutton's final resting place.

By Parabellum

(2009-11-10)

DANDRIDGE - Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton was one for the books.

In life, he was romanticized by many as the last of a breed of traditional mountain men and a maker of marvelous moonshine. He was also reviled by some, who saw him as anything but an Appalachian icon.

But in death, he received what might be called a benediction, which is not so bad for a fellow who made a living most of his life in a kind of cultural no-man's-land on the other side of the judicial establishment.

In a rural, fall setting Saturday, about 350 people gathered at the Resthaven Memorial Gardens outside Dandridge to pay tribute to Sutton, 62.

Country music star Hank Williams Jr. flew in from Nashville to attend the service in the mausoleum/chapel, which was filled and lined two to three deep on both sides of the pews.
