A centuries-old mystery may be solved soon, thanks to some old-time pirate booty recently unearthed by an amateur historian. Jim Bailey found the coins using a metal detector in Middletown, Rhode island.
For 400 years, historians have pondered the escape route of pirate Captain Henry Every after his capture of the Ganj-i-Sawai, a ship belonging to an Indian emperor carrying gold and silver from Mecca. The discovery of these coins hints that Every made a pitstop in America. Although Bailey originally believed the loot to be of Spanish or colonial Massachusetts origin, research revealed it was from 17th century Yemen.

A row has broken out after a new documentary on the world s most expensive painting, the
Salvator Mundi, claimed that the Musée du Louvre doubted the painting s attribution
as a 100% autograph work by Leonardo da Vinci. Although the museum has not publicly commented on the film s assertions, an unpublished booklet on the Louvre s scientific examination of the painting has been leaked to several media outlets, contradicting the film s conclusions.
In the film,
The Savior for Sale, broadcast on French television tonight, two anonymous officials in French President Emmanuel Macron’s government make the claims that the Louvre questioned the attribution.
