A vintage car was recently discovered during an underwater excavation of the USS Yorktown in the Pacific Ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The ship was a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that took part in several World War II operations.

Garden of Eden’s true location ‘can only be’ at unusual tourist landmark, new argument claims
A researcher has made a bold claim about the true location of the biblical Garden of Eden, positing that the mythical location is actually at a well-known site.
Konstantin Borisov, Ph.D., who specializes in computer engineering, claimed in a recent article in the journal Archaeological Discovery that the true location of the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve lived, was near the Great Pyramid of Giza.
