Archaeologists discover 5,500-year-old 'Trapezoidal tombs' older than Egypt's Pyramids
Archaeologists in Poland have uncovered massive ancient tombs dating back 5,500 years, making them older than Egypt's pyramids . The structures, located in General Dezydery Chłapowski Landscape Park in western Poland, were discovered by a team from Adam Mickiewicz University using aerial laser scanning and excavation. Shaped like long trapezoids, some of the tombs stretch up to 656 feet and are being referred to as 'Polish pyramids' or 'beds of giants.'

The graves were likely used for powerful community leaders, with each tomb holding just one skeleton placed upright and surrounded by gifts like pottery and axes. While no remains were found in the most recent discovery , experts hope to find artifacts nearby. 'These are not mass graves,' said Artur Golis, a park official involved in the excavation. 'Each was built for an important individual and shows how early societies honored their dead.' The tombs were once covered with cobblestones and huge boulders, some weighing up to 10 tons. Many of the largest stones are missing, possibly taken and reused over centuries. Live Events This is only the second such discovery in this region, though more tombs have been found in northern and western Poland. Experts believe more may still be buried underground. The find sheds light on prehistoric Europe's complex burial traditions and suggests advanced social organization far earlier than previously thought.

Ianis Hagi Rangers return chances addressed by dad Gheorghe
He was linked with a surprise return to Ibrox last week and he's also been targeted by Polish side Legia Warsaw and clubs in the Gulf, after initial reported interest from clubs in Germany and Italy cooled. But his legendary father - former Real Madrid and Barcelona icon Gheorghe - has poured scorn on any chance of his son going back to Glasgow. Read more: He said: "I read that Ianis is returning to Rangers.... "Let's all be serious about this. "He's gone there, he's closed that chapter in his career, he's closed it firmly. "He did very well at Rangers. Don't forget that. "He is a Romanian player who succeeded in an important country at a very big club. "There's a lot of speculation, it's normal there is talk because he's a free agent. "Ianis, from a young age, was raised to make decisions. He was raised to have a personality and make his own mind up. "He will decide where he wants to go and even if we do consult and talk, the decision is 100 per cent his alone."

Ianis Hagi Rangers return chances addressed by dad Gheorghe
The Romanian international remains a free agent despite being able to discuss moves with other clubs since January and being released by Rangers back in May.

MagRail Set to Revolutionise Port Freight at Kandla
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai DP World, Deendayal Port Authority and Polish tech firm Nevomo have formalised an agreement to pilot Nevomo's MagRail system—a self-propelled, electric linear‑motor freight train—on a 750‑metre stretch at the port in Kandla. Signed on 15 July 2025 by top executives from each organisation, the deal marks India's first experiment with autonomous magnetic rail freight within an operational port environment. The partnership will pilot MagRail technology on existing railway tracks to autonomously transport containerised and bulk goods. Powered by electric linear motors, MagRail wagons eliminate diesel use, promising reductions in logistics time, operational costs and CO₂ emissions. The trial is designed to enhance port-hinterland connectivity and support India's broader logistics modernisation under the National Logistics Policy and the PM‑Gati Shakti agenda. ADVERTISEMENT DP World, a global supply chain specialist, is leading efforts to integrate this advanced freight solution. The Deendayal Port Authority—a significant multi‑cargo terminal under central government jurisdiction—is hosting the pilot to assess real‑world viability. Nevomo will provide its proprietary MagRailBooster system, designed for seamless integration with existing port rail networks. This three‑way collaboration reflects an alignment of private innovation and public logistics priorities. According to Sushil Kumar Singh, chair of the port authority, the initiative represents 'a strategic advancement in port infrastructure, enhancing capacity and operational efficiency to support growing cargo demands,' signalling strong institutional backing. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World's group chairman and CEO, emphasised that MagRail will 'reduce transit times and optimise infrastructure use,' adding value for customers while promoting sustainability. Nevomo's CEO, Przemek 'Ben' Paczek, said the project would 'showcase MagRail's real‑world potential in boosting freight efficiency,' reflecting confidence in the technology's applicability to closed‑loop logistics systems. Harj Dhaliwal, Nevomo's Chief Business & Capital Programmes Officer, was credited with advancing the partnership. European rail specialists have already acknowledged MagRail's promise in port and metro-campus settings. Industry experts note that MagRail addresses several persistent bottlenecks in freight logistics: it offers rapid container shunting without the need for diesel road vehicles, improves yard cycle times, and integrates with existing rail infrastructure, minimising capital expenditure. The pilot's green credentials also align with global port decarbonisation targets. Situated at Kandla, which recently welcomed a large satellite terminal by DP World with a TEU capacity of 2.19 million, the trial supports the port's expansion strategy. Officials hope that MagRail can help optimise operations across the new and existing facilities. Planning documents suggest a phased implementation: initial tests on a limited 750 m section within the yard, followed by performance metrics on speed, energy use, reliability, and integration before broader deployment. Results from this pilot are expected to influence decisions on port rail automation nationwide. This initiative positions India at the forefront of port logistics innovation within Asia. Similar systems have been deployed or tested in Europe, but this marks India's first on‑site demonstration combining magnetic propulsion and autonomy in a live port. Industry observers see potential for replication at other major ports, boosting capacity and reducing carbon footprints across maritime‑logistics hubs. Adoption of MagRail could revolutionise short‑haul freight by enabling fast, consistent and emissions‑free movement of containers between berths, storage yards, and hinterland connections. For DP World and the port authority, a successful trial could translate into scalable technology upgrades and competitive advantages in trade facilitation.

Max Stryjek is Kilmarnock hero in narrow cup win against former side Livingston
Polish goalkeeper Stryjek made a series of excellent first-half saves in a 1-0 Premier Sports Cup victory. Livingston goalkeeper Jerome Prior had a less-successful evening as some poor handling led to Mo Sylla's own goal in the 31st minute. Prior could only palm the ball out as Liam Polworth returned his half-cleared corner and it bounced off the unfortunate Sylla and into the net. Livingston made the brighter start but Stryjek was on top form on his debut against the team he left three years ago. The 28-year-old returned to Scotland after spells with Wycombe and 2024 Polish champions Jagiellonia Bialystok and he quickly staked his claim for the number one role after replacing fellow new signing Eddie Beach in the starting line-up. Stryjek pulled off an impressive double stop from Stevie May and twice denied former Killie striker Robbie Muirhead. The home side's final ball had let them down before they capitalised on some decent pressure to make the breakthrough. They defended well in the second half, although Stryjek showed some good handling when called upon and made a point-blank save from Danny Wilson's header. Prior pulled off a good late save to deny Killie substitute Marley Watkins. Victory in the only all top-flight game of the group stage puts Kilmarnock in a commanding position at the top of Group H and sets Kettlewell's side up nicely for their William Hill Premiership opener against the same opponents on August 2.
