This historical image captures a moment in June 1944, showing two American GIs talking with a member of the Swiss Guard in Vatican City...

Discovered accidentally by a farmer in Namibia , the Hoba meteorite remains a mysterious marvel. This mammoth slab of iron, weighing a staggering 60 tons, is Earth’s largest natural chunk of iron. It’s estimated to have impacted our planet some 80,000 years ago, and one of the most fascinating aspects of the meteorite is that it left no impact crater, despite its immense size.

A 6000 year-old storage jar from Central Iran ; 55cm high, it features an ibex standing in profile above six bands circling jar's widest part, emphasizing its girth, framed by straight lines and precise zig-zag patterns.

The curves of the ibex's enlarged horns and of the spaces between its legs echo the circular form of the jar, while its energy is suggested by sharp projections of the ears, tail, and tufted hair on the muzzle and fetlocks.
