“And in the year nine-hundred forty-five and the twenty-fourth year of Heraclius’s reign, the Arab robbers arrived and fell upon the land of the qibla [i.e. Palestine/the Holy Land],
inflicting great damage to it by sword and by enslavement.”
A new source for the Arab invasions!

This is huge!
A new Syriac chronicle has been discovered dating to around AD 712-13 and covering the 7th century.
Absolutely amazing.

Julian Sancton's Neptune's Fortune is a warts-and-all exposé of how the richest wreck in the world was discovered. With lashings of Indiana Joneseque drama. It's a tale Spain and Colombia don't want you to know. See my article in Smithsonian Magazine for an overview.
