The two archaeologists had a hunch that the Buddha s birthplace in southern Nepal held secrets that could transform how the world understood the emergence and spread of Buddhism. HT Image Their pursuit would eventually see them excavate the sacred site of Lumbini as monks prayed nearby, leading

Veteran Nepalese archaeologist Kosh Prasad Acharya had carried out excavations in Lumbini before in the early 1990s, when Nepal was still ruled by a king and a Maoist insurgency had yet to kick off. The project ended in 1996 but Acharya remained unsatisfied with the results. My belief was that there was another cultural deposit below, which we had not uncovered, the 62-year-old told AFP.

The Buddha s birthplace was lost and overgrown by jungle before its rediscovery in 1896, when the presence of a third century BC pillar bearing inscriptions allowed historians to identify it as Lumbini. Since then, it has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site, visited by millions of Buddhists every year, with numbers expected to rise exponentially in the following decades.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have for the first time created a synthetic cell, controlled by man-made genetic instructions, which can also reproduce itself. HT Image We call it the first synthetic cell, said genomics pioneer Craig Venter, who oversaw the project. These are very much real cells . Developed at a cost of $30 million by the researchers at J. Craig Venter Institute, the experimental one-cell organism opens the way to manipulation of life on a previously unattainable scale, The Wall Street Journal reported. According to experts, scientists have been altering DNA piecemeal for many years, producing genetically engineered plants and animals, but the ability to craft an entire organism offers a new power over life. However, the achievement documented in the journal Science, may stir nagging questions of ethics, law and public safety about artificial life. This
