Who are these silent stone figures standing watch over the vast steppes of Central Asia? Meet the Balbals – ancient tombstones carved by nomadic Turkic peoples to honor the fallen. Their name means "ancestor" or "father," and most are male figures holding birds, bowls or blades – although female statues also exist. Mysterious and enduring, these stone guardians preserve the memory of warriors and traditions long past. Their exact purpose may be lost to time, but their presence still speaks volumes, telling stories etched into the land itself. And now, thanks to AI, we can bring a Balbal near Kyrgyzstan's Burana Tower to life. Hear as history speaks through stone.

A fishing boat from the Taiwan region was successfully rescued following a week-long operation led by the Zhoushan deep-sea vessel Shunhang-9 in the stormy waters of the Strait of Malacca. The incident occured when the vessel suffered a mechanical failure, losing all propulsion while battling rough weather and fast-moving tides. As the boat drifted helplessly, the crew sent out a distress signal. Approximately 30 nautical miles away, the Shunhang-9 received the call for help and immediately sprang into action, navigating treacherous seas at full speed to reach the disabled vessel.
