  • Tophet cemeteries are definitely different from other cemeteries in Phoenician sites: they are always cremations in urns, they include animals treated in the same way, and their human populations are always only of very young children. Stele in tophets are of a votive and not a funerary character: they say that something (the gift is never specific) has been offered or dedicated to a deity. Inscriptions from Carthage's main cemetery typically report the name (and genealogy) of the interred person.

    Archaeologists believe Egypt's large pyramids are the work of the Old Kingdom society that rose to prominence in the Nile Valley after 3000 B.C. Historical analysis tells us that the Egyptians built the Giza Pyramids in a span of 85 years between 2589 and 2504 BC. Interest in Egyptian chronology is widespread in both popular and scholarly circles. We wanted to use science to test the accepted historical dates of several Old Kingdom monuments.
