For episode 25, we are going to focus our Archaeology Porn on an amazing celestial device from the early Bronze Age as well as the real crime story of its discovery and recovery. With antiquities, unfortunately crime often does pay...but not in this case!

As for Archaeology News, we're going to look at two stories from the Near East: the discovery of a Bronze Age fort in Egypt some are citing as evidence for the existence of the mysterious Sea People during the Bronze Age Collapse, and some more insight into the co-development among homo sapiens and Neanderthals of the burial rite.
