Heather Carroll, who is just 5’2″ tall, said the tiny babies – five girls and a boy – all ‘look wonderful’. She and her husband Mitchell also revealed they have named the six alphabetically, after the letters doctors gave them when they were still in the womb: Abbie, Brooklyn, Chloe, David, Ellie and Faith.

EGYPT locals in Luxor reportedly expressed concerns over plans to move Tutankhamun’s “cursed” coffin for the first time, as his new display in Cairo is “100 percent complete”. Known affectionately around-the-world as King Tut, the 18th Dynasty pharaoh is arguably the most famous royal of all ancient Egypt, and the discovery of his tomb – KV62 – by Howard Carter stunned the globe. But, within months of opening the Boy King’s sarcophagus, six archaeologists died, as well as Lord Carnarvon – the sponsor of the expedition – in what came to be known as the Curse of the Pharaohs. While the treasures of his tomb…

ARCHAEOLOGISTS were thrilled to discover the missing piece to an artefact displayed among “some of the greatest treasure ever found on English soil”. Later this month Netflix will release its new film ‘The Dig,’ depicting the events of the incredible excavation of Sutton Hoo. The site, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, was at the centre of a huge discovery in 1939 when an ancient burial was uncovered on the property of Edith Pretty. Archaeologists found two early medieval cemeteries that dated from the sixth to seventh centuries and they have continued to probe the area ever since. One cemetery had an undisturbed ship burial with a wealth…

The days of the Infinity Saga are well in the rearview mirror. The MCU is firmly in the Multiverse Saga as the recent releases of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special have brought Phase Four to a close. In February 2023, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is effectively launching Phase Five, which will, in turn, be a jam-packed two years of superhero content, pushing forward to the grand culmination of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Phase Four has had a tumultuous time with some highs and lows, though even with global disruptions that affected the box office and movie-going experience, it was…

After two years of highs and lows, Phase Four of the MCU concluded with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and overall, fans are still very eager for Phase Five and the unfolding multiversal story. An important aspect of Phase Four was the introduction of the next generation of great MCU characters, including several whose power levels, are hitherto unrivaled in many regards. That would include, most recently, Namor, who was defined as being as strong as Thor and the Hulk, and the Eternals, but especially, Ikaris and Sersi. Their future in the MCU is currently ambiguous, although logically,…

A new report revealed a critical connection between Captain America 4 and the iconic Marvel mutant Wolverine. As fans eagerly await the introduction of the MCU’s take on the X-Men, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and co. seem to be slowly sprinkling X-gene-centric breadcrumbs throughout their super-powered universe. Right now, it seems the actual X-Men reboot is still years off as “the contractual situation with the original Fox stuff” will reportedly be “in effect until 2025.” But that won’t stop them from setting up the mutant emergence in the MCU. And it turns out Captain America: New World Order will be no stranger to these X-Men Easter eggs, as it seems to feature a pivotal tie…

Mumbai, 26 November 2008, around 9:30 PM. Mallika Jagad heard indistinct sounds of gunshots. She and the 60-plus guests in the heritage wing of the Taj Hotel thought it was the sound of fireworks at some wedding, since it was the wedding season. Sadly, Mallika’s first guess had been right on point. They all had heard the staccato sounds of gunshots but it took them a while to realise the gravity of the situation. “I had no clue whether it was a single man with a small gun or a terrorist with automated machine guns. But I just received this…

If you’re having one of those days where you feel completely unmotivated to get anything done, well, you may want to rip a page out of this 97-year-old’s book, because she just did the CN Tower’s EdgeWalk (and became the oldest woman to do so!)

Out of all the Marvel Netflix series, Iron Fist was the most divisive of the bunch—it’s often brought up in conversations as an example of the worst of the worst. However, with Charlie Cox back as Daredevil, many have wondered if all the Netflix characters will eventually make a return. The question that often comes from that discussion is if that includes Danny Rand. Rumors have made their way around the web  stating that Marvel Studios doesn’t want Jones back as Iron Fist—something many are inclined…

ARCHAEOLOGISTS discovered an 8,000-year-old prehistoric shell mound in Zhejiang, China, that has been tipped to rewrite the origins of human development in the area. The breakthrough was made at the site of the Jingtoushan ruins in the city of Yuyao during a drilling survey for factory construction. Tests at the carbon-14 lab of Peking University concluded that the site is between 7,800 and 8,300 years old, 1,000 years older than the city’s Hemudu Culture Ruins, which were believed to be the origins of humanity in the area. After years of research and excavation, experts were able to ascertain that the…

CHINA has a 2,000-year-old ancient city, which was compared to Plato’s fictional island when it was rediscovered 40 metres below the surface of a man-made waterway. Known as the Qiandao Lake, the freshwater stream is located in Chun’an County, Zhejiang, and was formed after the completion of the Xin’an River hydroelectric station. The valley was flooded more than six decades ago to create the lake, but in the process, the city of Shicheng was submerged at the foot of Wu Shi Mountain. It is believed to have been built during the Eastern Han Dynasty, between 25AD and 200AD and YouTube channel ‘Simply Scuba’ detailed how it…

EGYPT’s Great Pyramid of Giza has a number of mysterious passageways, including one that was blocked off near the subterranean chamber and was “not meant to be seen”. Located on the Giza Plateau, the magnificent structure is believed to have been constructed roughly 4,500 years ago for the Pharaoh Khufu.

When the water levels were lowered in an eastern China reservoir due to a renovation project, no one was expecting to find a 600-year-old Buddha statue. A local villager in Jiangxi province first spotted the half-submerged head of the Buddha sitting against a cliff and gazing over the water. A hydropower gate renovation project in the Hongmen Reservoir, Nangcheng County, was responsible for the 10-metre drop in the water levels. Xu Changging, head of the provincial research institute of archeology, said the sunken statue, which is 12.5 ft (3.8 m) tall, could date back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Researchers also…

When Vanessa Marshall decided to launch her now highly successful sustainable haircare company, Jack59, in 2015, she was wrapping up a degree in dentistry. After some reflection, her instincts swayed her away from this path and towards an entrepreneurial one, despite not having any formal business training. It all started when she stumbled into the world of soap-making after watching her sister create sudsy bars in her spare time. “I started researching how to do it myself, learning the chemistry, and recorded myself making my first batch,” Marshall recalls. “It was a disaster, but it was thrilling. I was hooked.” It…

Villain-centered projects for Marvel are a rare thing and also relatively new for the MCU.

There are many villains who fans have wanted to see in their own projects, be it a movie, show, or special presentation. Some of those candidates include characters such as Doctor Doom, Kang the Conqueror, or even the late Thanos.…

Marvel Studios, along with all other Hollywood movie studios, can now be sued for misleading or deceptive trailers, according to a new federal ruling Wednesday. In the modern age, movie trailers are not only being used as advertising tools, but also as products that garner hype and excitement in their own rights. The MCU is no exception, as its trailers garner massive fan response and induce major speculation about the films. When the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 trailer dropped, it quickly swept the internet, garnering more than 24 million views in less than a month since its debut. Marvel trailers have not…
