India's Oldest Mosque Basks in Past Glory after Renovation

  • India's first-ever mosque and the oldest in the sub-continent is all set to welcome back devotees and general public after regaining its past glory and grandeur.
  • The classic beauty and humble style of the "Cherman Juma Masjid", dating back to 629 AD, was restored after a painstaking renovation and conservation process spread over nearly 30 months under the state-run Muziris Heritage Project (MHP). Located at Kodungallur taluk in this central Kerala district, the heritage structure was recreated in tune with its original character and aesthetics, at a cost of Rs. 1.14 crore.

Scientists Discover Human Footprints Dating Back to Over 2,00,000 Years

  • A new study has found the oldest known examples of immobile art on the surface of a rock in Tibet. The immobile art consists of hand and footprints on the surface of a rock found in the Quesang region of the Tibetan Plateau. The group of scientists studied the prints, which are speculated to be 1,69,000 to 2,26,000 years old. The age of the rock shows that the hand and footprints were created during the middle of the Ice Age. There are a total of five handprints and five footprints discovered in the region which have been preserved in freshwater limestone deposited around a hot spring known as travertine. Judging by the size and height of the prints, the group of scientists speculates that they were carefully placed by children around the age of 7 to 12.

Iron Age and Roman Artefacts Found

  • The foundations of Iron Age houses and a host of Roman coins were among discoveries made during the construction of a new bypass.
  • The finds resulted from archaeological digs at the site of the A120 Little Hadham bypass in Hertfordshire.
  • The digs took place after surveys showed prehistoric and Roman remains were likely to be found.
  • Sarah Cobain, leading the project, said that such discoveries gave great insight into life 2,000 years ago.
  • The archaeologists discovered the foundations of Iron Age houses dating back to 300BC, along with Roman remains dating to the 1st and 4th centuries AD.
  • Among these was a small cemetery which included the remains of four burials and 16 cremations.
  • A collection of 72 Roman bronze coins was also found, dating back to between AD330 and AD348.

Saudi Arabia Camel Carvings Dated to Prehistoric Era

  • As per a study, a series of camel sculptures carved into rock faces in Saudi Arabia are likely to be the oldest large-scale animal reliefs in the world.
  • When the carvings were first discovered in 2018, researchers estimated they were created about 2,000 years ago.
  • This was based on their similarity to reliefs at Jordan's famous ancient city of Petra.
  • But a fresh study puts the camels at between 7,000-8,000 old.
  • Precisely ageing rock sculptures is a challenge for researchers. Unlike cave paintings, say, there is often no organic matter to sample. Rock art of this size is also rare in the region.
