In 2019, a team of archaeologists in Egypt found a treasure trove of mummified crocodiles—and made a surprising discovery along the way. Found in the necropolis of Qubbet el Hawa in Southern Egypt, the crocodiles were unusually well-preserved but lacked the usual characteristics of embalming—suggesting a different method was used, and furthering our understanding of embalming techniques in ancient Egypt. Learn more about these crocodiles and how they were mummified at the link in bio. Photograph by Zuma Press/Cordon Press

It’s fascinating how hundreds of millions of years ago there were originally archosaurs, who eventually split into two branches: one was later to become modern crocodiles; and the other to become dinosaurs, and modern birds 🐦

President Trump’s recent foreign policy decisions are making some Americans reconsider their travel plans. Trump has set off panic in Europe about the potential collapse of alliances; inspired boycotts of American products in Canada; heightened tensions between Denmark and Greenland over the island’s independence; and prompted protests in Istanbul and Panama over the possibility of U.S. territorial expansion. Since the inauguration, some travel agencies are noticing a drop in sales for international travel by Americans. Tour operators are fielding inquiries from customers concerned about how they will be received abroad. The nervousness does not seem to have translated into widespread cancellations, but social media and travel forums are filled with Americans asking variations of “Will they hate us?” We spoke with travelers who are concerned about how they will be perceived abroad at the link in our bio.
