The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has announced on Sunday, 31 May, a major archaeological breakthrough at the tomb of “Panehsy” in Matariya, Ain Shams, revealing new details from the historic necropolis of Heliopolis. The discovery was made during excavations carried out by an Egyptian archaeological mission affiliated with the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA), which uncovered what officials described as the first nearly complete funerary furniture set identified in the area. According to the Egyptian authorities, the excavation initially revealed a burial constructed from mudbrick containing human skeletal remains. With continued careful excavation beneath the structure, the team uncovered a concealed archaeological cachette containing a collection of cosmetic tools and symbolic items associated with funerary practices. Among the most prominent finds was a copper mirror, as well as two alabaster kohl containers that still preserved traces of cosmetic material. A third container, made from rare black obsidian, was also discovered along with two light-blue faience vessels, one of which contained six intricately inscribed scarabs, including two encased in yellow metal frames believed to be made of gold.

Israel has been added to a United Nations blacklist on conflict-related sexual violence, according to reports by Reuters and Agence France-Presse on Friday, 29 May. The blacklist is part of the UN Secretary-General’s annual report to the Security Council on conflict-related sexual violence, which tracks state and non-state actors accused of committing or facilitating systematic sexual violence during armed conflicts. The decision was reportedly included in the UN Secretary-General’s annual report on conflict-related sexual violence, which documents allegations involving parties accused of systematic sexual violence in armed conflicts. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said he had been informed of the decision during a phone call with UN Secretary-General António Guterres. In a post published on X, Danon criticised the move, saying that “equating the democratic State of Israel with Hamas terrorists is a new low.” According to AFP, the report documents allegations involving Israeli military, security, and prison personnel against Palestinian detainees in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories since 2023. The allegations reportedly include sexual violence, forced nudity, and abuse in detention facilities involving Palestinian men, women, and children. The report also reportedly states that UNContinue reading "UN Places Israel on Conflict-Related Sexual Violence Blacklist"
