They honored their gods by building enormous temple mounds vaguely in the shape of a bird. Six concentric octagons of different-colored soil showed up on the air photos; on closer examination...

The Torre site may establish what has long been suspected by Italian paleontologists: that Central Italy is one of earth's oldest inhabited places. Confirmation of this theory depends on Blanc's efforts to find human bones to match the man-made axes. After exploring only...
