The image of the tomb of Tutankhamun is familiar the world over. Yet this extraordinary photograph of archaeologist Howard Carter slowly unveiling the Egyptian Pharaoh’s coffin has never been seen in colour until now. Taken by archaeological photographer Harry Burton on October 28, 1925, or shortly afterwards, the original grainy black-and white picture does not convey the magnitude of the discovery, nor the brilliance of the gold and dazzling blue of the semi-precious lapis lazuli gemstones. The contrast between gold and black stands out on the casket as the archaeologist gently removes the perfumed resin coating on King Tut’s innermost…

Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has hinted that he could attempt to buy the club in the future after seeing his company, GF Biochemicals, become a hit. The Frenchman co-founded the company alongside business partner Pasquale Granata in 2008.

The fuel it uses is made from plant waste which can be used to create plastic in an environmentally friendly way. “We founded GF Biochemicals with the ambition of finding sustainable alternatives to oil-based products,” Flamini previously said.

Todd Boehly, the Chelsea co-owner, was approached by a news crew as he left his hotel in Madrid before the first leg of his side’s Champions League quarter final against Real Madrid and asked if he had a message for the club’s fans. ‘Have a lot of faith and we’re going to win 3-0 tonight,’ he said. He said twice that it would be 3-0, as if he had really put some thought into it. If the Chelsea fans had any faith left, it was not rewarded. Boehly was as close to getting his prediction right as he has been…

Shipwreck divers have announced quite the anniversary present for the flagship of a 1715 Spanish treasure fleet, the Capitana: 52 gold coins, 40 feet of gold chain, and 110 silver coins and buttons all worth over one million dollars. The find, made over a month ago on June 17, was kept under wraps until now.

One final roll of the dice. The faint hope of lightning striking for the fourth time in little more than a decade. It is a brutal illustration of Chelsea’s woes this season that they arrive here, in early April, knowing their last shot at silverware, and their only chance of qualifying for the Champions League, is to ride the wave of memory and win Europe’s most coveted prize. Simple as you like. Not much about this campaign — two fired managers and two interims, £600million spent on new signings and a slide to 11th in the Premier League — suggests they will leave the…

The single biggest hoard of Celtic coins ever found is now thought to be two separate stashes that were buried together. The Le Câtillon II hoard includes 70,000 gold and silver coins and 11 gold torques, or necklaces, and dates to the First Century AD. Researchers believe that two distinct tribes created the currency, due to variations in the quality of their production as well as the metals used. The collection, thought to be worth £10million ($13million), was brought to the island and buried – most likely to hide it from Roman invaders, experts say. The single biggest hoard of Celtic…
