(FOX NEWS) – Archaeologists believe they’ve identified a lost
city tied to Jesus Christ’s ministry after a decade of excavations,
with the project’s academic director saying he’s "100%" certain
about the discovery.

The El-Araj Excavation Project, led by Mordechai Aviam, has
been digging at the archaeological site along the Sea of Galilee
since 2016.

Bethsaida, close to Jesus’ ministry in Capernaum, was once
the home of the apostles Peter, Andrew and Philip.

The city was the setting of several of Jesus’ miracles, including
the healing of a blind man.

Sir Alexander Fleming was a young bacteriologist when an
accidental discovery led to one of the great developments
of modern medicine on September 3, 1928.

He identified the mold as Penicillium notatum, similar to
the kind found on bread.

In 1929, Fleming introduced his mold by-product called
penicillin to cure bacterial infections.

(FOX NEWS) – A rare, 2,500-year-old marble statue has emerged
from the ruins of Sardis, an ancient city immortalized in the
Holy Bibles Book of Revelation.

The discovery dates to the fifth century B.C. and was announced
by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism earlier in August.

Sardis is located in the Salihli district of Manisa, about 45 miles
east of the major Turkish city of İzmir.

Pictures show excavators carefully uncovering the monumental
statue, which still retained well-preserved facial features, at the archaeological site.

In a translated statement, officials described the statue as having
"larger-than-life dimensions [that] make it a rare example from
the period."

was digging for worms to use as fishing bait at the time.

The Cuban Missile Crisis began on October 14, 1962, bringing
the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear
conflict.

Photographs taken by a high-altitude U-2 spy plane offered incontrovertible evidence that Soviet-made medium-range
missiles in Cuba—capable of carrying nuclear warheads—
were now stationed 90 miles off the American coastline.
