Study Shows Long-Term Change in Vegetation Cover Along Intermittent River Using Drone and Landsat Imagery HANOVER, N.H. – Feb. 3, 2021 – In the Namib Desert in southwestern Africa, the Kuiseb River, an ephemeral river which is dry most of the year, plays a vital role to the region. It provides most of the vegetation to the area and serves as a home for the local indigenous people, and migration corridor for many animals. The overall vegetation cover increased by 33% between 1984 and 2019, ...

Egyptian records show a major trading expedition to Punt 4,500 years ago, and it appears gold had made its way between the kingdoms even earlier. Expeditions to Punt were celebrated in Egyptian art over thousands of years ...

They identified a hamadryas baboon skull tucked away in the British Museum’s archives and think that the fossil that was discovered in Thebes ( Luxor) in the 19th century came from Punt. The results of their study, published on eLife , explains that they studied the chemical isotopes in the baboon’s tooth enamel to try to pinpoint the animal’s birthplace. The British Museum holds two mummified baboons with New Kingdom attributions. C. D.E. are images of the 3,300-year-old baboon skull. (...
