A German family has lived in the same place for 3,000 years Scientists have discovered that the Huchthausen family from the village of Förste (Lower Saxony) has lived there continuously for around three millennia, Bild reports. DNA analysis showed that the ancestors of Manfred Huchthausen lived just two kilometers away — in the Lichtenstein Cave, where archaeologists found human remains buried around 1000 BC, along with bronze jewelry, animal bones, and traces of funeral pyres. Researchers believe these ancient inhabitants of the Harz region traded salt — the “white gold” of the Bronze Age. The local museum director noted that they looked almost identical to their modern descendants. “I always thought our family had been here a long time — but three thousand years?” Huchthausen laughed.

This little bird survived a volcanic eruption! Buried by volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, this Roman fresco of a little bird pecking at fruit re-emerged looking as delightful as it did some 2,000 years ago! Villa Poppaea, Oplontis, Italy. 📷 by me #Archaeology
