Archaeologists have discovered the remains of walls at the ancient archaeological site of Kubbo. These walls date from the period between the 3rd century BCE and the 10th century CE, according to the press service of the Fergana Regional Administration.
The excavations were conducted by researchers from the Fergana State University in collaboration with the Luyang Institute of Archaeology in China.
According to data from the Fergana State University, this research is part of a joint project implemented within the framework of the Fergana-Shanxi Archaeological Research Center, established at the university.
The university noted that the found archaeological artifacts cover a long historical period—from the 3rd century BCE to the 10th century CE. Furthermore, the Fergana State University emphasized that this discovery represents unique material evidence of cultural exchange between East and West throughout the history of the Great Silk Road.
Spider-Man's success pace is not slowing down even in the second week; the film has collected 12 billion rupees worldwide in nine days. The movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland, is demonstrating a success that the MCU itself may not have expected. The popularity of the new film among MCU fans is evident at the box office, as viewers have a strong desire to see their favorite superhero on the big screen.
In India, Spider-Man showed incredible success from day one, surpassing even the film Avengers Endgame, which is considered one of the most successful pictures in MCU history. The film set numerous records during its opening weekend. There is huge excitement surrounding Spider-Man in India, allowing it to earn double-digit amounts even on weekdays.
In the second week, which started on Thursday, the earnings slightly decreased compared to the first week, but the film did not lose momentum. According to Sacnilk, on the second Friday in India, Spider-Man: Brand New Day brought in a net income of 14 crore rupees. The total net collection reached 348.75 crore rupees, and the gross collection was 417 crore rupees. This makes it the most successful Hollywood film after Endgame. There is speculation that the film could collect up to 500 crore rupees in India, making it the most profitable Hollywood film.
Worldwide, having been in theaters for nine days, Spider-Man: Brand New Day also demonstrated impressive revenues. It collected a gross of 12 billion rupees, which is a significant achievement. This makes it the second Hollywood film to reach the 12 billion rupee mark fastest. These figures suggest that Spider-Man will require the release of a major competing film to slow down its pace, which currently seems like a difficult task.
Regarding India, two major films, Aawarapan 2 and Bantwara 1947, are releasing in cinemas on August 14th, both enjoying great interest from the audience. It remains to be seen whether these films can match Spider-Man's earnings.
Nismo, Nissan's performance arm, hired a London-based jewelry company to create four grillz—dental adornments linked to hip-hop culture—designed based on street and racing models from the Japanese manufacturer.
These pieces are exclusive and will not be sold; they will be displayed in the British capital before the conclusion of the Formula E World Championship, scheduled for August 15th and 16th.
The collaboration was established with LOUD MOUTH LDN, a studio specializing in custom grillz located in Peckham, South London, which uses silver and gold in its work. Nismo participated in the development of the four designs, with each one inspired by a specific element of a Nissan vehicle.
One of the grillz, colored blue, replicates the front grille of the Skyline GT-R R34, including the black details and amber points that simulate the vehicle's turn signals. Next to it is a red piece, whose inspiration comes from the front of the competition Nissan Z GT500.
The other two models refer to different milestones in the brand's sporting history. One features the yellow tone of the Pennzoil Nismo GT-R, the Skyline GT-R R34 that dominated the GT500 category of the Japanese championship JGTC in 1999, alongside Érik Comas and Satoshi Motoyama. The second design combines silver, white, and red, using the colors of the e-4ORCE 05, with which Nissan participates in the current Formula E season.
According to both companies, the collection consists of unique items, with no plan for commercialization. The grillz will be exhibited in a Westfield chain mall located in East London in the days leading up to the race. Visitors to the exhibition will compete for a personalized piece made by the jeweler.
The finale of the so-called 'Formula 1 of electric cars' will take place at ExCeL London, located at Royal Victoria Dock, concluding the 12th season of the championship. This event marks the end of the Gen3 car generation and the category's departure from the London complex, which will leave the calendar starting in 2027. Currently, nine drivers still have mathematical chances of winning the title.
Nissan attends the weekend as the team of the current champion, British driver Oliver Rowland, who partners with French driver Norman Nato. The automaker was the first Japanese company to enter Formula E in 2018 and won the drivers' title in the previous season.
For Reece Garcia, founder and director of LOUD MOUTH LDN, this project required a change in the studio's initial approach. Instead of focusing on letters or logos, the team chose to analyze the shapes and details of the cars, translating them into jewelry. He describes the grillz as one of the few accessories created entirely for each individual.
The design team described that the project concept is based on a carefully adjusted relationship between the different architectural volumes. The use of materials, light, and shadow was employed to create a passage between the vastness of the external landscape and the introspective atmosphere of the internal space.
This approach lends the wine production process a quality that is both precise and transcendental.
The project was cited as "Vinícola La Vigilia / González Olsina & Vega Arquitectos" (or Bodega La Vigilia / González Olsina & Vega Arquitectos) on August 7, 2026, according to the record on ArchDaily in Portuguese, accessed on August 8, 2026.
