Google Doodle has felicitated Mexican archaeologist and anthropologist, Professor Alfonso Caso on his 128th birth anniversary.

Alfonso Caso was born in Mexico City on February 1 in the year 1896.

This doodle shows the archaeologist at the excavation site with a book in hand, a spade in the ground, google inscribed on stones in the backdrop, and Monte Albán in the background.

According to the tech giant, the doodle’s reach spans the region of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, and Ireland.

Caso is best known for excavating the site of Tomb Seven located at Monte Albán in Mexico, which is one of the richest archaeological findings of all time.

The Mexican is an archaeologist who studies human history and prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analysis of artefacts and other physical remains.

He is also an anthropologist who is a professional interested in everything from the traditions of a tribe on a remote island to the culture of an urban community and everything in between.

Alfonso Caso was a student at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (NAUM), where he earned a law degree.

The archaeologist has also been credited with the establishment of Mexico City’s “Society for Conferences and Concerts,” while studying at NAUM.

This society encouraged students to participate in cultural activities. He went on to take the role of professor at NAUM following the completion of graduation.

Alfonso Caso chose to focus on archaeology as a career after earning a master’s degree in Philosophy at age 29.

He became the university’s leading voice in archaeology as his rigorous methods of interpretation earned him respect and acclamation from his fellow faculty.

The 128-year-old don became the head of NAUM’s Department of Archaeology and later became the director of its museum.

Caso led excavations across the country, including the site of the ancient Zapotecs in Monte Albán. He analysed the burial offerings in Tomb Seven and formed a rough chronology of Monte Albán’s history.

Riley Moore, a member of the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia’s 2nd District, has linked the absence of Christmas attacks in Nigeria this year to US military airstrikes carried out against Islamist militants on Christmas Day.

In a post on his official X account on Saturday, Moore contrasted the situation with the past two Christmas seasons, during which he claimed Christians were killed in attacks across parts of Nigeria.

The lawmaker noted that this year’s response targeted extremist groups instead of marking another period of violence.

He added that US forces acted decisively against militants in coordination with the Nigerian government.

“For the past two Christmases, Christians have been murdered in Nigeria. This year, thanks to @POTUS, Radical Islamic Terrorists were on the receiving end of 12 Tomahawk missiles as a present.

“The successful strikes on ISIS, in coordination with the Nigerian government, are just the first step to secure the country and end the slaughter of our brothers and sisters in Christ,” Moore wrote.

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that American forces had conducted deadly strikes against Islamic State terrorists in north-western Nigeria.

Trump, who spoke via his Truth Social platform, warned that more attacks would follow if the militants continued killing Christians, adding that the Department of War executed numerous “perfect strikes.”
