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.

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...
