It is noted that the 1800-year-old Roman camp lies under the agricultural fields of Kibbutz Megiddo in the Izrael Valley.

During this summer's excavations, a team of archaeologists found a cemetery and an amphitheater outside the base walls using an innovative technology called ground penetrating radar.

It was discovered that the amphitheater for combat training of troops had remnants of a unique decorative art: blood-red paint decorated the stone walls.

As a reminder, a fossilized bird with a dinosaur head, Cratonavis zhui, was discovered in China. This creature lived about 120 million years ago.
