Hidden messages praising Pharaoh Ramesses II discovered on 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk in Paris A 3,300-year-old Egyptian obelisk looming over Paris’ Place de la Concorde recently yielded a sequence of secret messages, all thanks to French Egyptologist Jean-Guillaume Olette-Pelletier’s keen observations. Once placed at the Luxor Temple’s entrance in Egypt, the red granite monument is now the target of a groundbreaking study that claims it was an ancient propaganda monument promoting Pharaoh Ramesses II as a divine ruler. Originally constructed by Ramesses II—one of the most prolific builders of ancient Egypt—the obelisk was gifted to France by the Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century and relocated in 1836...

Hidden optical secrets of the Parthenon revealed by Oxford archaeologist In a remarkable breakthrough blending archaeology and advanced 3D technology, Oxford University archaeologist Professor Juan de Lara has shown how the ancient Greeks used advanced lighting techniques to transform the inside of the Parthenon into a stage of divine spectacle. De Lara’s study finally answers an ancient mystery about how light was used in the world-famous temple dedicated to Athena on the Acropolis of Athens. Instead of the traditional vision of Greek temples as bright, marble spaces, de Lara’s research shows that the Parthenon was kept dim. This dark atmosphere created a theatrical setting for a dramatic lighting effect that seemed to illuminate the enormous chryselephantine statue of Athena by Phidias, made in 438 BCE...
