An Egyptian family of six believed to be the longest held at the controversial South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, the nation’s only federal immigrant facility authorized to imprison parents with their children,
were redetained Saturday

The only border crossing that connects Gaza with Egypt
⭐️has opened for the first time in almost a year.
✅The step throws a lifeline to Palestinians who want to leave for medical care or return to homes and families after two years of war.

Tomb Raider: Greece and Egypt
Having decried the lack of verticality in the Peruvian levels, St Francis's Folly more than made amends. The main part of the level has you scaling up and down a central room, opening doors with levels and solving puzzles in rooms names after Greek mythology1. The permanence of enemy deaths is very noticeable here, where the bats you shoot at the top of the room can sometimes be found lying on the ground at the bottom; when using original…

5,300-year-old 'bow drill' rewrites story of ancient Egyptian tools
A new study reveals that Egyptians were using a mechanically sophisticated drilling tool far earlier than previously suggested. Researchers at Newcastle University, and the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, have re-examined a small copper-alloy object excavated a century ago from a cemetery at Badari in Upper Egypt, and concluded it is the earliest identified rotary metal drill from ancient Egypt, dating to the Predynastic period (late 4th millennium BCE), before the first pharaohs ruled. The study…

This January, U.S. President Donald Trump offered to act as a mediator between Egypt and Ethiopia over Nile River waters, signaling renewed interest in the dispute.
