US soldiers' remains found at historic Revolutionary War landmark are revealed to be from a completely different era
Archaeologists recently announced the discovery of skeletons at Colonial Williamsburg – but the skeletons weren't from the Revolutionary War. The remains were found while excavators searched around the grounds of a Revolutionary War-era gunpowder magazine, or storage facility, according to The Associated Press. Advertisement Near the building, archaeologists were taken aback when they uncovered the eye sockets of a human skull – and then four human skeletons, plus three amputated legs. Rather than dating back to colonial America, the four skeletons are from Civil War times. The soldiers died during the Battle of Williamsburg while fighting for the Confederacy in 1862, according to local historians. The skeletons were found with their arms crossed. Interestingly, they were not buried in their uniforms – rather, they were found in more comfortable clothes, and archaeologists uncovered buttons and a trouser buckle. 7 Archaeologists found human remains at Colonial Williamsburg, which surprisingly dated back to the Civil War rather than the Revolutionary War. AP Advertisement The graves were aligned east-west, with the head at the west end and the feet at the east end, a burial tradition commonly associated with Christianity. Since the discovery, historians have determined that a makeshift hospital once operated nearby to treat wounded Confederate soldiers. Although the remains were found in 2023, Colonial Williamsburg officials didn't announce the discovery until this month. 7 Staff members from the Colonial Williamsburg museum excavating the remains of Confederate soldiers from the Civil War in 2023.

AP 7 Colonial Williamsburg Lab Assistant Evan Bell discusses using hospital lists, unit records and other documents to identify the remains of Civil War soldiers at the Colonial Williamsburg archaeology department in Williamsburg. AP Archaeologists are working to identify the soldiers — whose identities are unknown. 'Everyone deserves dignity in death. And being stored in a drawer inside a laboratory does not do that.' Advertisement Researchers have narrowed down the possible identities of four men who served in regiments from Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina and Virginia, but are withholding the names until they have confirmation. Jack Gary, Colonial Williamsburg's executive director of archeology, told the Associated Press that the discovery came together when they found lists of hospital patients in the archives. 7 Gary points to a photo showing where the graves of Civil War soldiers were found near the gunpowder magazine at Colonial Williamsburg. AP 7 'If these men were found in a mass grave on a battlefield, and there was no other information, we probably wouldn't be trying to [identify them],' Gary said.

'If these men were found in a mass grave on a battlefield, and there was no other information, we probably wouldn't be trying to [identify them].' Last week, the bodies were reinterred at a local burial ground where other Confederate soldiers were buried. Advertisement 'Everyone deserves dignity in death. And being stored in a drawer inside a laboratory does not do that,' Gary said. Even though the Civil War has been thoroughly studied for over 160 years, new discoveries are still being made. Last spring, a Civil War-era cannonball was found in the backyard of a Virginia home. A few years earlier, a long-forgotten map that shed light on the aftermath of the bloody Battle of Antietam was uncovered.

Authorities scramble as truck crash releases millions of bees: 'Hive boxes from the overturned truck were recovered'
The internet was abuzz after a commercial truck overturned in Washington state near the Canadian border, releasing millions of bees into the surrounding area. As detailed by The Associated Press, a semitruck transporting around 70,000 pounds of honey bee hives rolled over in the early morning hours of Friday, May 30, near Lynden. The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office initially estimated that 250 million honeybees had escaped. With the help of beekeepers who responded to the scene, it later updated that number to 14 million while providing an update on Facebook. Authorities closed Weidkamp Road and advised the public to stay away from the area until the bees were contained and returned to their hives. The internet couldn't resist whipping out its best bee-related quips, with multiple commenters on a KOMO News report on YouTube calling the situation "un-BEE-lievable." "I hope they are beeing careful," another said of the responders, who reported getting stung. However, the crash — which appeared to happen when the driver failed to navigate a turn — also had more serious implications, as keepers often move bees to new areas to prevent them from depleting resources for other pollinators, per the AP. Pollinators are experiencing drastic population declines as a result of toxic chemical pesticides, habitat loss, and rising global temperatures, which supercharge extreme weather events that add additional stress. For instance, heavy rains can prevent bees from foraging, while droughts can mean less nectar is available to eat. A recent Honey Bee Health Coalition survey of commercial keepers in the United States found that they experienced an average loss of 62% between June 2024 and February of this year, potentially threatening to upend food security and damage nature's protective biodiversity. Pollinators such as honey bees support around 75% of flowering plant species and 35% of the world's food crops, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Do you worry about air pollution in your town? All the time Often Only sometimes Never Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Dozens of beekeepers helped Whatcom County officials quickly rescue most of the bees and get them back on the road to their intended destination. "Hive boxes from the overturned truck were recovered, restored and returned to use. By morning, most bees should have returned to their hives and those responsible for their delivery will be in charge," the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office wrote on Facebook the day after the incident before confirming the following day that recovery work was over. More broadly, you can support pollinators by converting part or all of your water-hungry turf into a natural lawn or rewilded space. Native plants don't just help slash the time and money you spend on lawn maintenance; they also provide resting spots for pollinators and require minimal to zero toxic treatments. And if you find pests are starting to overtake your yard, consider exploring chemical-free options first.

Chinese ship runs aground off Philippines-occupied island in the disputed South China Sea
PUERTO PRINCESA, Philippines -- A Chinese ship ran aground in stormy weather in shallow waters off a Philippines-occupied island in the disputed South China Sea, prompting Filipino forces to go on alert, Philippine military officials said Sunday. When Filipino forces assessed that the Chinese fishing vessel appeared to have run aground in the shallows east of Thitu Island on Saturday because of bad weather, Philippine military and coast guard personnel deployed to provide help but later saw that the ship had been extricated, regional navy spokesperson Ellaine Rose Collado said. No other details were immediately available, including if there were injuries among the crewmembers or if the ship was damaged, Collado said. Confrontations have spiked between Chinese and Philippine coast guard and navy ships in the disputed waters in recent years. "The alertness of our troops is always there,' Col. Xerxes Trinidad of the Armed Forces of the Philippines told reporters. But when they saw that a probable accident had happened, 'we tried to provide assistance as professionals' in accordance with international law on helping distressed vessels at sea. "We're always following international law,' Trinidad said. Filipino villagers living in a fishing village on Thitu, which they call Pagasa island, immediately informed the Philippine military and coast guard after seeing the Chinese ship lying in the shallows about 1.5 nautical miles (2.7 kilometers) from their village, said MP Albayda, a local Filipino official, told The Associated Press. 'They got worried because the Chinese were so close but it was really the strong wind and waves that caused the ship to run aground," said Albayda, adding that other Chinese ships pulled the stricken vessel away. The stricken ship resembled what the Philippine military had repeatedly said were suspected Chinese militia ships, which had backed the Chinese coast guard and navy in blocking and harassing Philippine coast guard and military vessels in the disputed waters, a busy conduit for global trade and commerce. Thitu Island is home to a Philippine fishing village and Filipino forces and is the largest of nine islands and islets occupied by the Philippines. It lies about 26 kilometers (16 miles) from Subi Reef, which China transformed into an island base along with six other barren reefs to reinforce its claim to virtually the entire South China Sea. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan are also involved in the long-simmering territorial standoffs, an Asian flashpoint that many fear could pit China and the United States in a major conflict. The U.S. does not lay any claim to the South China Sea but has repeatedly warned that it's obligated to defend the Philippines, it's longtime treaty ally, if Filipino forces, ships and aircraft come under an armed attack, including in the South China Sea.
