split with Gil and the scandal of Iruña-Veleia

The technician responsible for the Archaeological Museum of Álava, Amelia Baldeon is split full hours of any relationship with the director of the excavation of Iruña-Veleia, Eliseo Gil, and denied having endorsed the "exceptional discoveries" which proved false. In an appearance before the Committee on Culture of the General Assembly of Álava, Baldeón also limited their functions to control the deposit of any material found in Alava, without decision-making capacity on the archaeological sites, validating and disseminating materials thereof.

The head of the Museum of Archaeology states that supported the view

technicians at all times wanted to make clear that ranks fourth in the rankings of the Department of Culture Provincial without decision-making capacity. "All I have to do is preserve the findings of any excavation, but by no means exhibit until they have the appropriate scientific report," he said.
's findings Iruña-Veleia for 2005 and 2006 submitted by Eliseo Gil did not have the scientific backing. Moreover, Baldeón sent yesterday afternoon a letter to the President of the General Meetings in which documents his position "refusal" to the granting of the exploitation of the deposit to Gil. Subsequent reports from 1989 to 1996, the curator of Archaeology, though not strictly its function, expressed opposition to take charge of the excavation of Veleia Gil. He also stressed yesterday that all the time endorsed the concerns of the committee of experts on the authenticity of the inscriptions. "My role was that of custodian of the pieces, why not participate in the process, but I signed all the minutes", he said.
however, left several questions unanswered jointer Patxi Martínez de Albeniz (EA) on its presence as a supervisor of the excavation of Veleia, the impetus given to a publication on the disputed text and images, linking his brother, Xavier Baldeón with Lurmen, SL, Eliseo company Gil, or reserving a space in the future Museum of Archaeology for parts. The jointer also questioned him about a letter that the professor of philology Gorrochategui Joaquin sent in June 2006, expressing serious doubts about the authenticity of the pieces, and Baldeón not moved to their superiors.

Sanz notes that recent archaeological situate Yuso the church among the first examples of Romanesque

The president of the Community of La Rioja, Pedro Sanz, visited today in San Millan de la Cogolla recent archaeological remains discovered in the church of the Assumption monastery Yuso and stressed "its historical significance, artistic and archaeological."
In this regard, and according to archaeological studies carried out, the dimensions of the church, much larger than expected, and this temple regularly placed among the earliest examples of early Romanesque peninsula, "a great ancient Romanesque features similar to San Martín de Frómista, San Isidoro de León and the Cathedral of Jaca, "said Pedro Sanz. According to existing literature, the church was built between 1053 and 1067.
also noted that according to archaeological reports, the possibilities for knowledge and recreation of the Romanesque church of Yuso are many and "besides contributing to build our history and symbols, may have implications in the History of Art and become an interesting contribution to the History of Construction ", since it could reconstruct the process of the work of the foundations of a Romanesque church.
For this reason, Pedro Sanz was in favor of "giving value and meaning" of these findings, so that will analyze the different possibilities for integration of the excavations in the visit to the monasteries. This, besides being able to expose the public remains more significant, covered by a clear protective deck is now also possible to make a virtual reconstruction the Romanesque church and educational workshops on it, plus pictures and audio-visual projections. DESCRIPTION OF THE REMAINS

The archaeologist responsible for the project, Javier Garrido, said that the excavation and documentation developed in the south aisle have improved understanding of the location and layout of the Romanesque church, despite its destruction, as the network of impressive foundation remains under much of the church today and will 'simulate' form and elevation.
In fact, it has been proved that it was a church with three naves. The apse, discovered in the survey conducted in 2008 was the apse, where the ark was located the relics of San Millán. Similarly, an apse were discovered along this side of making very precise, where they had placed a few years later the remains of San Felices de Bilibio, hermit and master of San Millán. He has also appeared a third side apse identical, located partly outside the church today, under the floor of the cloister.
Moreover, the comparison between the apses shown as Javier Garrido explained that the church could belong to the golden ratio or 'gold number', which comes from ancient times and features some of the most important buildings of the early Romanesque , "to get exact proportions balanced and unified architecture, in which light arch, which delimited the apse, served as a basic unit.
The project archaeologist has also emphasized that the remains indicate that the medieval builders, faced with ground unstable and muddy, performed a powerful network of foundations to support and sew the pillars supporting the building. They were built with large stones, partly irregular stones in the head-have a maximum depth of 3 meters and a width of 2 and 2.50 meters and are directly embedded in the strata prehistoric (Bronze Age).
"We are very close to discovering the full stack trace of the primitive temple" said Javier Garrido, who announced, as a hypothesis, that the church would have at least one more leg to the foot and is likely to have an outstanding cruise.
also noted that the plant once known, can be reconstructed including the height and volume of the temple base, and to deepen the knowledge of the construction and evolution of standard and decorative elements, you can use the many pieces reused works and reinforcements from S. XVI, as the old church served as a quarry nearby. RESTORATION OF THE TEMPLE

The archaeological remains have been discovered during the restoration of the Church of the Assumption, began in November 2007 and completion is scheduled for November 2010.
These actions are complemented in the near future with the restoration of the refectory, which involves an investment of 500,000 euros, and the lighting of the Monastery, budgeted at 540,000 euros performance.
With these works, the total investment in Yuso and Suso Monasteries since its declaration as a World Heritage Site in 1997 exceeds 16 million euros, including actions taken to implement the International Research Centre of the English Language (CILENGUA).

Egypt is an intact mummy near the pyramid in Saqqara ratify

A group of archaeologists Egyptians found an intact mummy dating back to Pharaonic times when they opened on Wednesday at Saqqara a limestone sarcophagus sealed, in the shadow of the world's oldest pyramid still standing.
The mummy, which is well preserved and escaped the looting of thieves in ancient times, may contain dozens of gold amulets in the layers of wrapping material, said Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass.
"It's a typical mummy Dynasty 26 (...) This mummy should contain charms, amulets of gold to help the dead to reach eternal life," Hawass told reporters after ascending to the room where buried the mummy, the only accessible with a pulley.
"Finding an intact mummy in a sarcophagus of limestone is not common. Is rare. It is very rare," he added.
Archeologists found the mummy ran old when the lid of his sarcophagus, buried in a chamber in the desert on the west side of Saqqara, about 20 miles south of Cairo. In the same chamber also found 30 other mummies. 26
dynasty ruled Egypt from around 664 to 525 BC, just before the Persian occupation.
Hawass said the mummy found in the sarcophagus, is believed to be the original owner of the burial chamber, would be submitted for analysis to determine if it contains charms.
's rare to find intact burial sites known as Saqqara necropolis, near the city of Memphis, because groups of thieves roamed the area in ancient times.
Hawass said the burial chamber of the mummy is one of the three graves found by archaeologists recently near Saqqara, which they consider part of a much larger cemetery.
"I always say that we have found 30 percent of Egyptian monuments, and the remaining 70 percent is buried," said Hawass.
"We hope to find more graves. They have to wait. Every week there will be a tomb to be discovered in the area. This is the beginning of a cemetery," added.
not know the identity of the main mummy found in the tomb but Hawass said he was probably a rich person. The lid of the sarcophagus was broken because, according to archaeologist, was sealed with cement in ancient times to preserve the contents.
"If a mummy is in a limestone sarcophagus, it means the person is rich," he said.
Most of the remaining mummies were found in holes in the walls of the burial chamber, about 11 meters below the surface, and included four buried with a dog. In addition, we found two wooden coffins with hieroglyphs.

Identification of the Tomb of Herod

analysis revealed new objects, found in the archaeological site of the mausoleum of King Herod the Great in the Herodium (Herodion in Greek) has provided archeologists from Hebrew University with additional assurance that it actually was the burial place of the famous and controversial leader of the first century BC.
Herod the Great was king of Judea (named by the Romans) from 37 BC. to 4 BC., being known in his lifetime for his many monumental building projects, including rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem, the palace at Masada, the port city of Caesarea (Caesarea), and the palace complex in Herodium 15 kilometers south of Jerusalem.
Based on a study of the architectural elements found in the archaeological site, researchers have been able to determine that the mausoleum, where the wreckage was found the sarcophagus of Herod, was a splendid two-story structure with a concave conical roof , about 25 meters high, a fully appropriate for the taste and status of Herod. The excavations at the site have also helped to find many fragments of two additional tombs, which researchers believe they may belong to members of the family of Herod.
The mausoleum was deliberately destroyed by Jewish rebels who occupied the site during the first Jewish revolt against the Romans, which began around the year 66 AD.
Netzer believes that the Herodium never have been built without the known determination of Herod, made early in his career, to be buried in this isolated and barren area. Undoubtedly, personally chose the exact location of his mausoleum, and that from the looks of Jerusalem and its surroundings. This led to his decision to make the entire complex a tribute to himself, and therefore put a name derived from their own.

adobe pyramids in northern Peru continues to reveal its mysteries

(EFE), Sipan (Peru) .- The adobe pyramids north of Peru continues to reveal its mysteries, with the opening today of the new museum located next to the Sipan site and dedicated to the rich Moche culture.
The Sipan is one of the many adobe pyramids that were built in the desert of northern Peru, and has proven to be one of the most fertile in archaeological finds from that in 1987 discovered the tomb of the Lord of Sipan. EFE / File
La Huaca (1000 km. North of Lima) is one of the many adobe pyramids that were built in the desert of northern Peru, and has proven to be one of the most fruitful on archaeological findings from that in 1987 discovered the tomb of the Lord of Sipan, compared to their status and wealth to that of Tutankhamun.
But political and security reasons, the treasure of the Lord of Sipan was transferred to Lambayeque (about 40 miles away), and the towns near the huaca watched with envy how tourism passed by while looters, dealers Antiques, seemed the only ones interested in the place. Only the record
archaeologists Walter Alva (discoverer of the Lord of Sipan) and Luis Chero, appointed director of the new museum, was to continue the excavations and new remains would appear to be to better understand the rich Moche culture.
The Moche, a village Chero warrior called "victors of the desert", dominated from the second century BC and AD VII coastline of what is now northern Peru, and proved to be skilled builders of pyramids, cool water (made 900 kilometers of channels) and connoisseurs of metallurgy.
For unknown reasons, related in part to the sudden succession of periods of heavy rain and drought, the Moche (also called Mochica) disappeared and were eclipsed by later civilizations, mainly by the brightness of the Incas.
As was apparent in the treasury of the Lord of Sipan the new Sipan Museum opened today shows a complex culture, with various backgrounds and significant expertise in ceramics, textiles and metallurgy.
The museum has been funded by the Italo-Peruvian Fund, with a formula of an exchange of Peru's debt owed to Italy, and his execution has been carried out by Caritas Peru, which in turn has brought running water, drains and training craft to the people of the area.
The jewel of the museum is the Warrior Priest's tomb called the Tomb found in 14, a dignitary Moche killed their forties (average standard at the time) and buried beside his wife, probably poisoned a potion to join him in eternity, and a flame, plus a host of pitchers, masks and various ornaments.
The skeleton of the priest, with all the objects are exhibited in a room lit only by a dim light in which you can also contemplate the complex trappings with which this character was dressed Moche elite.
Walter Alva said today that the abundance and complexity of remains found at Sipan, "which can provide work still to eight generations of archaeologists," the place "among the greatest archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century."
President Alan Garcia in his opening remarks, stressed that the museum puts demonstrates "the continuity (historical) Peru."
"Our history is richer and more complex than what we teach in schools," said the ruler. Huacas
Like all the Rajada is a pyramid (actually two games by a "crack") built from the ground for millions of mud bricks. The impetuous rains in the winters for centuries have wrought language and furrows on the slopes of a hill to make it look eaten away by erosion.
