From today's featured article  Carter and colleagues looking into the opened shrines within the tomb The tomb of Tutankhamun was uncovered beginning on 4 November 1922 by excavators in the Valley of the Kings led by Howard Carter, an Egyptologist. Whereas the tombs of most pharaohs of ancient Egypt were plundered in ancient times, Tutankhamun's tomb was hidden by debris for most of its existence and not extensively robbed. Conserving the burial goods required a ten-year effort, and their opulence inspired a media frenzy, intensified by speculation that misfortunes connected with the tomb were the result of an ancient curse. Friction between the Egyptian government and the British-led excavation team resulted in a settlement by which the burial goods remained in Egypt, instead of being divided between the excavators and the government as had been standard Egyptological practice. The discovery yielded limited information about events in Tutankhamun's time but a great deal about the material culture of the era. The fame of the discovery made Tutankhamun a symbol of ancient Egypt itself. (Full article...)

It is awarded annually to a manga series published in the previous calendar year of eight or fewer collected volumes in length. The prize is presented by a volunteer committee of roughly one hundred "manga lovers from all walks of life", primarily bookstore workers who manage in-store manga sections. Individuals directly involved in the manga industry are barred from sitting on the committee; this distinguishes the Manga Taishō from the majority of the other major manga industry awards, which are typically organized by a specific publishing company and voted on by the company's editors. The Manga Taishō has been awarded fifteen times since its inception in 2008, most recently in 2022 to Darwin Jihen by Shun Umezawa. Akiko Higashimura is the most-nominated author, with seven lifetime nominations including her win for Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist's Journey in 2015. (Full list...)
