Caution tape has been put up but crowds are still drawn to the animal spectacle, taking photos of the sea lions as they rest and play on the sand and in the water. Sea lions congregate at San Carlos Beach while local authorities decided to temporarily close the beach due to the large crowd of these marine mammals in Monterey, California, U.S., August 22, 2024.

Whopping 2,492 carats diamond is second-biggest ever discovered in a mine The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country’s president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world at a viewing ceremony Thursday. The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It’s the biggest diamond found since 1905. The as-yet-unnamed diamond was presented to the world at the office of Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi.

In a remarkable archaeological discovery in Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu, India, an ancient Hebrew tombstone, dating back to 1224 or 1225 AD, has been unearthed, shedding light on a forgotten Jewish community in southern India. This discovery is significant as it precedes the previously oldest known Hebrew tombstone in India, found in Chanmangalam, Kerala. The tombstone was deciphered by Tawfik Zakaria, a scholar of Jewish history and a calligrapher fluent in Hebrew and other Semitic languages. Born in Cochin, India, Zakaria has dedicated his life to preserving the rich cultural tapestry of Jewish history. The inscription on the tombstone corresponds to the date "A of Shvat 1536 or 1537 of the Seleucid period," which, when converted, dates to approximately January 1, 1224 AD, or Janu...
