While researching an upcoming trip to Palau, a tiny island nation dotting Micronesia’s western edge, I found endless information about its famed mushroom-shaped Rock Islands and spectacular diving sites, including over 50 World War II wrecks. But what I discovered upon arrival was a destination eager to highlight something else: its rich culture on solid land. The remote archipelago’s efforts to encourage activities like village tours and traditional handicraft workshops appears to be helping tourism rebound from pandemic-era lows. Visitor numbers have surged from about 5,000 in 2021 to more than 50,000 in 2024, according to the country’s visitors authority. Chinese travelers lead the recovery despite recent diplomatic tensions. “We’ve been known for our crystal clear water, ...

Egypt announces first discovery of pharaoh's tomb in more than 100 years Archaeologists have discovered the long-lost tomb of King Thutmose II, 1492 BC (or 1502 BC) - 1479 BC. A joint Egyptian-British mission near Luxor discovered the first Egyptian royal tomb since Tutankhamun's in 1922. The tomb, found in 2022, was identified as Thutmose II’s, based on broken alabaster vessels. Thutmose II was an ancestor of Tutankhamun who lived nearly 3,500 years ago.

Initially, there was confusion, as it was thought to be the tomb of a wife of Thutmose III. Flooding damaged the tomb soon after its creation, but fragments of painted mortar and religious texts linked to royal to...
