We re going to move to another topic now - one that also touches on guns. The statistics show that a majority of gun deaths in America are actually suicides. And for the past year, many experts and laypeople alike have worried that the mental health stresses of the pandemic - isolation, job loss, lockdowns, the constant reminders about sickness and death - could lead to an increase in suicides. And while scientists are still combing through the data, the early findings suggest that might not have been the case except for one group - African Americans.
According to one alarming recent study focusing on just one state during the first weeks of the lockdown, but alarming nonetheless, suicide mortality among African Americans nearly doubled while decreasing substantially among white residents.

(Bloomberg) Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 3,000-year-old âlost cityâ buried under the sands in Luxor, home to the Nile Valleyâs famed Valley of the Kings, the latest pharaonic-era wonder to be unearthed as the country seeks to revive its tourism industry.
The city, known as the âThe Rise of Aten,â dates to the reign of Amenhotep III which began around 1,390 BC, and was later used by successors including Tutankhamun, according to a statement on Thursday from the Egyptian mission that made the find.

(LUXOR, Egypt) Egypt announced on Thursday the discovery of what it termed the “Lost Golden City” in the southern province of Luxor, with one U.S.-based egyptologist describing the find as the biggest archaeological discovery since Tutankhamun’s tomb nearly a century ago.
A mission led by Egypt’s former antiquities chief Zahi Hawass unearthed “several areas or neighborhoods” of the 3,000-year-old city after seven months of excavation.
The mission’s original target was to find a mortuary temple of King Tut, whose tomb was discovered in Luxor’s Valley of the Kings in 1922, but they instead excavated parts of an entire city.

Washington– Peering back 10 billion years into the universe’s past, astronomers have found a pair of quasars that are so close to each other they look like a single object in ground-based telescopic photos, but not in Hubble Space Telescope’s crisp view.
The researchers believe the quasars are very close to each other because they reside in the cores of two merging galaxies. The team went on to discover yet another quasar pair in another colliding galaxy duo.
A quasar is a brilliant beacon of intense light from the centre of a distant galaxy that can outshine the entire galaxy.
