There's a widespread myth that medieval people used spices to cover up the taste of rotten meat.
The whole story traces back to one book. In 1939, a scientist named J.C. Drummond published The Englishman's Food and suggested that medieval recipes were so heavily spiced because the meat was frequently tainted. No evidence. Just an assumption. One sentence in one book published 85 years ago.

Captured in the Prague Castle Archives during the 1940s, this photograph features an archivist (often identified as a woman) examining the "Velká Knihovna" (Great Library)
These massive, hand-scribed volumes are primarily medieval choir books, that were intentionally crafted at this scale so an entire congregation or choir could read the music and lyrics from a single vantage point during services.

This week the Getty Villa Museum will begin offering a rare look at scrolls from its ancient Egyptian “Book of the Dead” collection.
The collection of 19 manuscripts written on scrolls of papyrus and linen fragments are fragile, with one of them dating back nearly 3,500 years. Because of that, the materials are not usually on display to the public and the gallery will be carefully lit, temperature and humidity-controlled.

When Scientists Are Dinosaurs.
At the paleontology conference, her new theory was shouted down.
...I had once been a part of this tribe. Long ago they welcomed me as one of their own. I had wandered with them in the desert, shared their meals, and labored alongside them under the beating sun to pluck bones from the earth. Yes, I had been a paleontologist. The tequila was there from day one.

Rembrandt painting worth millions rediscovered after 65 years.
A long lost painting by #Rembrandt has been rediscovered and authenticated by experts, after its whereabouts were unknown for decades.
Rembrandt's Vision of Zacharias in the Temple, from 1633, was excluded from a list of the Dutch master's works in 1960, and disappeared after being sold to a private collector the following year.
