  • October 9, 2018 - Jerusalem, Israel - A 2,000 year old stone column drum, Second Temple Period (First Century CE), around the time of Herod the Great's reign, unearthed earlier in 2018 in excavations underway near Binyanei HaUma, Jerusalem's International Convention Center, bears an engraved Aramic inscription reading “Hananiah son of Dudolos from Jerusalem”. Archaeologists share their excitement during a joint press conference of the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Israel Museum stressing this is the first and only Second Temple era artifact which displays the full spelling of Jerusalem, written in Hebrew letters, 'Yerushalayim', as it is spelled today. The archaeological context of the inscription does not allow determination who Hananiah son of Dudolos was, but it is likely that he was an artist potter, the son of an artist potter, who adopted a name from the Greek mythological realm, following Daedalus, the infamous artist.

  • Meghan Markle will have a full glam squad at her beck and call on her fast-approaching big day. But in a newly-unearthed video from September 2016 — just a couple of months before she started dating Prince Harry — the soon-to-be blushing bride is seen applying her own make-up in the back of an Uber. In the video Meghan jumps into the back of an Uber with make-up mogul Bobbi Brown, who gives her a mini-tutorial, talking her through how to use the brand’s Retouching Pencils and Retouching Wands. While giving out tips, Bobbi asks Meghan, 36, what she has planned for the day ahead — and the American actress, who was on hiatus from filming USA Network show Suits at the time, said she had a meeting with producers about a potential film role. The video was filmed as part of a collaboration between Uber and Bobbi Brown back in September 2016. On May 19, Meghan will be swapping the backseat of an Uber for that of a royal carriage when she weds Prince Harry at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Her royal title will be the Duchess Of Sussex. 03 May 2018 Pictured: Meghan Markle seen in a newly-unearthed 2016 video in which she applies her make-up in the back if an Uber while getting tips from make-up mogul Bobbi Brown.

  • December 3, 2017 - Inconnu, inconnu - 01/12/2017 - Here’s amazing footage of royal-bride-to-be Meghan Markle as an 11-year-old talking about female equality. Meghan, now engaged to Brigtain’s Prince Harry, was filmed during a social studies assignment back in elementary school. Meghan and her classmates watched some commercials to assess their messages. A commercial for Ivory Dishwashing Liquid really bothered Meghan because it used the word ''her.'' The sequence came after Meghan wrote a letter to the soap manufacturer. The company changed the commercial. What Meghan did landed her on the cable show ‘Nick News’ on cable network Nickleodeon in 1993 and was unearthed recently by US programme Inside Edition. Markle is seen on Nick News while she and her classmates were watching a television commercial for Ivory dishwasher soap.The narrator in the commercial declares that the soap is handy because “women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.”A young Meghan was unhappy with the wording of the commercial, especially after two boys in her class said that it confirmed the stereotype of women belonging in the kitchen. In 2015, Markle recalled the incident during a speech at the United Nations to mark International Women's Day. She recalled:” I remember feeling shocked and angry and also just feeling so hurt.“It just wasn't right and something needed to be done.”She said her father inspired her to bring about change.by encouraging her to write letters to the most powerful people she could think of. Young Meghan sent a letter to the soap maker, Proctor & Gamble as well as to famed civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred, then-first lady Hillary Clinton, and Nick News anchor Linda Ellerbee.After Ellerbee received the letter, she and a camera crew from her show went to meet Markle. Proctor & Gamble also responded by changing the wording of the commercial from “women” to “people.”The revised

  • A couple in the US have uncovered a beautiful hidden Roman-esque bath under the floor of their home office.<br />
<br />
Mark Ronsman, 39, and his wife Jenny, also 39, bought their home almost three-and-a-half years ago and had been told there was once a hot tub in one of the rooms.<br />
<br />
"The elderly woman who sold us the house told us it was there," Mark Ronsman told Insider.<br />
<br />
"She had gotten older and stopped using it on any kind of regular basis, so she got much more use out of it as an office."<br />
<br />
The couple wasted no time in pulling up the cover and unearthing the hot tub, but it's only been during the recent lockdown that they've had the extra time on their hands to set about getting it up and running.<br />
<br />
"It was impossible to imagine what it would look like," he added.<br />
<br />
"I was very excited to see how bad or good it might be."<br />
<br />
Mark had to be careful as he pulled up the wood covering that sat on the tub.<br />
<br />
"I didn't want to damage the tub while tearing apart this platform in there," he said.<br />
<br />
"I tried to take out as many screws naturally as I could, but some things needed to be cut apart."<br />
<br />
"I started by just using a hole saw so I could make a few holes and peek through."<br />
<br />
"After I understood how it was all put together, I ended up just cutting out a big square in the middle so I could get at it," he said of the process.<br />
<br />
The larger square allowed him to see more of the tub.<br />
<br />
A blue, floral tile pattern started to become visible, which Mark wasn't expecting.<br />
<br />
"We were truly shocked and overjoyed that something so beautiful was in our house," Mark continued.<br />
<br />
"The tile was just beautiful! I was also truly grateful to discover the previous owners took such great care that what they did could be reversed."<br />
<br />
"We never expected it to be so big and deep," he added.<br />
<br />
Mark and Jenny have spent some time during lockdown clearing up the tub and fixing some minor repairs but sadly the tub still isn't functional yet, as the couple discovered they need to replace one of the water pumps after t

  • A couple in the US have uncovered a beautiful hidden Roman-esque bath under the floor of their home office.<br />
<br />
Mark Ronsman, 39, and his wife Jenny, also 39, bought their home almost three-and-a-half years ago and had been told there was once a hot tub in one of the rooms.<br />
<br />
"The elderly woman who sold us the house told us it was there," Mark Ronsman told Insider.<br />
<br />
"She had gotten older and stopped using it on any kind of regular basis, so she got much more use out of it as an office."<br />
<br />
The couple wasted no time in pulling up the cover and unearthing the hot tub, but it's only been during the recent lockdown that they've had the extra time on their hands to set about getting it up and running.<br />
<br />
"It was impossible to imagine what it would look like," he added.<br />
<br />
"I was very excited to see how bad or good it might be."<br />
<br />
Mark had to be careful as he pulled up the wood covering that sat on the tub.<br />
<br />
"I didn't want to damage the tub while tearing apart this platform in there," he said.<br />
<br />
"I tried to take out as many screws naturally as I could, but some things needed to be cut apart."<br />
<br />
"I started by just using a hole saw so I could make a few holes and peek through."<br />
<br />
"After I understood how it was all put together, I ended up just cutting out a big square in the middle so I could get at it," he said of the process.<br />
<br />
The larger square allowed him to see more of the tub.<br />
<br />
A blue, floral tile pattern started to become visible, which Mark wasn't expecting.<br />
<br />
"We were truly shocked and overjoyed that something so beautiful was in our house," Mark continued.<br />
<br />
"The tile was just beautiful! I was also truly grateful to discover the previous owners took such great care that what they did could be reversed."<br />
<br />
"We never expected it to be so big and deep," he added.<br />
