An ancient structure predating the main monument of Stonehenge by 500 years has been uncovered just 5km from the iconic site.
Dr Matt Leivers, senior research manager at Wessex Archaeology, said: "The discovery at Bulford is fundamental because itâs the earliest example of people building things here that aim directly at the solstice. "When we talk about the solstice, weâre talking about religion. "Itâs a religious event. "Thatâs why itâs so important."
Wessex Archaeology suspect they have uncovered a prototype for world-famous Stonehenge site in Wiltshire
âWhat weâre seeing here is the religion of the stone age made manifest in the ground,â said Matt Leivers, the senior research manager at Wessex Archaeology. âObviously we have no understanding of precisely what any of it meant, but the fact that time and again, over thousands of years, people are coming back to [the Stonehenge landscape] to build and rebuild and mark and remark this set of substantial events â it gives us an indication that this is religion. This is how they are understanding their place in the cosmos, how the universe works, what their deities are. âWe donât know what the sun meant to them. We donât know whether they personified it as a deity. But the amount of effort thatâs directed toward marking it and its movements leaves us in no doubt at all that this is a major religious event thatâs inscribed over the whole landscape over millennia.â
The Major Oak is thought to have stood for more than 1,000 years in the heart of Nottinghamshire's Sherwood Forest.
According to Wikipedia, the oak tree was between 800 and 1000 years old. The trunk had a girth of 33 feet (10 meters), and the canopy spanned 92 feet (28Â meters).

A young princess of Thebes, doesn't know she's pregnant yet. She's incredibly optimistic and happy about life. She likes spending time outdoors (much to everyone's chagrin) and dreams of finding the courage to ask Zeus to just take her away from her miserable family and let her live with nymphs on some island far away. (Dionysus looks A LOT like his mom.)
A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previou
Letâs fucking go
This is HUGE.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
TL;DR Google reeeeeally stepped in it this time.
5. If the words are Google's, this solidifies the position of universities who demand that all answers from AI are fully cited. If all the in-line citations now have to be (Google, 2026), that's going to make it obvious when someone's trying to use Google as a source. There's still the difficulty with people who are academically dishonest by trying to pass off the AI writing as their own. 6. 91% accuracy is officially too low to use as a source of references, which means the AI can't be used as a source of references either. This makes it less legitimate for such purposes than Wikipedia of all places (Wikipedia might need date/time proof of when it was accessed for the reference to be valid, but at least it is possible to prove the link existed at a particular date and time). 7. This will help encourage the rollout of courses on how to avoid AI search for students who need academic accuracy, because it's statistically not good enough to use. 8. This strengthens the case intellectual property authors have against Google in the EU, as this is proof that an intellectual property transfer took place.
The image in the mosaic panel for the month of June depicts three figures in a small structure. June was the end of the wheat harvest in much of the Roman world, so perhaps the trio represent agricultural workers taking a break at a taberna vinaria (tavern selling wine) or a thermopolium (shop selling hot food).Â
However, since this calendar seems to center on the most important religious festival in each month, this scene may depict our theoretical harvesters purchasing torches at a booth for the Dies Lamparadum, the Day of the Torches, a festival on 24 June at the end of the wheat harvest honoring Ceres and Proserpina with a night-time torchlight procession.Â
Though one may imagine there was at least a little wine-drinking afterwardsâŚ

Image description: An allegorical image representing the art of painting. I'm wondering whether the image may also represent Iris, the Greek goddess associated with the rainbow. A woman with pale skin and long, fair hair (a self-portrait of the artist) sits in a natural setting upon artistically stacked boulders in the center of the painting, basically facing the front of the work. The figure wears vaguely Greco-Roman garments; her left breast is bare. She holds a large oval artist's palette and a cluster of paint brushes in her left hand at roughly chest level and lifts aloft a paint brush in her right hand to add color to a rainbow she is painting over her head which extends from the top left to the bottom right of the canvas. Storm clouds fill the sky behind her and a few trees are visible to each side behind her; a chameleon sits near her feet.
