Nicholas Reeves, a researcher at the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona is making waves with his claims about the location of Queen Nefertiti’s remains. Reeves suspects that the Egyptian royalty known for her immense beauty and power may be in a tomb down a corridor past King Tut’s tomb.
There will be a radar survey held of the premises to determine whether Reeves is correct. The researcher defends himself by saying: “If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But if I’m right, we’re now faced with the extraordinary prospect of coming face to face with an intact pharaonic tomb.” Read more at NPR.

Perhaps in the efforts of emulating Hillary Clinton’s activity along the campaign trail earlier this week, presidential candidate Jeb Bush spoke with #BlackLivesMatter activists in advance of a town hall meeting he held in Las Vegas yesterday. Bush’s camp released a statement saying that he and the activists discussed his goals in uniting Americans and in holding transparent dialogue with voters.
However, Bush was in for a rude awakening during the town hall itself, as members of the crowd expressed their disappointment at his conservative views on immigration policy. Bush commented on his belief that undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be given paths to citizenship. Furthermore, Bush went on to talk about his past “empowering people in communities that [were told] they had no chance,” yet seemingly sidestepped his work as a leader in establishing “Stand Your Ground” legislation. The town hall abruptly ended with chants from #BlackLivesMatter protestors as Bush scurried off the stage without greeting the crowd on his way out. Things got especially heated between two attendees, as a BLM protestor and a Bush supporter got into each other’s faces, flipped the bird at each other and jeered taunting phrases.

So far, there have been approximately 50 known deaths after the mysterious explosion that rocked China’s bustling port city, Tianjin. Hundreds are now filling up hospital rooms as more are queuing up to donate blood as an attempt to help their fellow citizens. A large portion of those hurt or killed from the combustion was struck by flying glass and debris as far as a mile away from the core of the blaze. Unsure of how else to best move forward, firefighters are letting the fires die out on their own to avoid making the situation worse. Read more at the NY Times.
