See the face of a 1,300-year-old man

A GASP FROM A LAST OUTPOST OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE

Monday, February 20, 2023

In today’s newsletter, we find a 1,300-year-old man, search for the truth in Area 51, learn the scandalous history of the Washington Monument, follow the future president who went from zero to hero … and explore the tactile sensations of ASMR.

The teeth. Such even and perfect teeth. That’s what a facial reconstruction expert thought when he saw the remains of a body from the last gasp of the Roman Empire.

Found in a grave in Switzerland with his feet pointing north, the man, in his early 20s, prompted the expert to try something he rarely has done.

Let him smile. Who was this man? How was he found?

Meet Adelasius: He was in his late teens or early twenties when he died, and had unusually good teeth (facial reconstruction shown at top). His grave was lined with rocks (above), which may indicate he was of high social status. Read more.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

A monumental embarrassment? Are we talking about the same Washington Monument? Yes, the impressive obelisk on the National Mall sat unfinished for nearly four decades. At one point, Nat Geo finds, it was occupied by a political fringe group. (Above, workers at the top.)

YES, IT WAS CONTROVERSIAL

PHOTO OF THE DAY

PHOTOGRAPH VIA LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, PRINTS AND PHOTOGRAPHS DIVISION

More than Presidents’ Day: Did you know that today also is the World Day of Social Justice? Today’s photo marks the march in 1913 of thousands of women in Washington, D.C., to demand voting rights. A much larger and hostile crowd surrounded them, cutting off the parade route and threatening the women with violence. It would be seven more years until the 19th Amendment was passed.

A FIGHT THAT REMAINS

LAST GLIMPSE

YOUTUBE

ASMR or not? The euphoric-but-relaxing responses to soothing visuals and quirky, textural sounds has spawned an online wellbeing phenomenon. But what is ASMR—and why do only some people feel it? (Above, a glimpse at many forms of ASMR, including, um, turning the pages of National Geographic magazine.)

DO YOU FEEL IT?
