(CNN) — For more than 40 Revolutionary War-era soldiers, the long journey to their final resting place fittingly ended on Memorial Day weekend in the idyllic southeastern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.

Former service members donning white gloves carried small pine boxes from the New York State Museum in Albany and gently loaded them onto vintage military vehicles adorned with black funeral bunting and American flags for a solemn 60-mile procession north to Lake George, New York.

Along the way, people lined sidewalks to wave American flags and quietly salute the motorcade carrying the soldiers’ remains, which had been unexpectedly unearthed at a construction site in 2019.

“They were predominantly young, in their teens and twenties, probably recent recruits in the fight for independence,” Lisa Anderson, the museum’s curator of bioarchaeology, said in a statement.

“Among them also was a woman and a child, a poignant reminder of the extreme hardship for families during wartime. It is a privilege to help share their stories.”

What little is known about their stories is coming to light on the eve of the 250th anniversary of America’s war for freedom from the British. Their remains were laid to rest Friday at the new Repose of the Fallen memorial in Lake George Battlefield Park — about 200 miles north of New York City — with full ceremonial honors that they likely did not get at the time of their deaths.

“As our nation approaches its semiquincentennial, their reinterment carries profound meaning — an act of dignity, remembrance, and gratitude,” said Jennifer Saunders, the museum’s executive director, noting that preserving their stories ensures “they are remembered not as historical fragments, but as individuals who served and sacrificed.”

It all began seven years ago with the discovery of unmarked graves with skeletal bones, centuries old and fragile, during routine construction work in Lake George. Among the artifacts found buried in the frozen earth were pewter military buttons from the First Pennsylvania Battalion, established in 1775 — which helped archaeologists date the remains back to the Revolutionary War, according to the museum.

The artifacts also linked the grave site to the 1775–1776 Quebec Campaign of the American Revolution. It is believed the site was a burial ground for Revolutionary War solders who had been housed at a makeshift smallpox hospital at the southern end of Lake George, according to Anderson.

“Conditions at the hospital at Fort George were not like we think of hospitals today,” Anderson said in a recent lecture about the discovery. “It was essentially a place to warehouse, and in this case, just isolate the sick.”

Lake George had, until this discovery, been associated more with the French and Indian War than with the Revolutionary War.

“This entire episode has largely remained a footnote in history, particularly in Lake George — overshadowed by the much more dramatic events of the French and Indian War,” Anderson said, noting that Fort Wi

El papa León XIV dice que el control de la inteligencia artificial no debe permanecer “en manos de unos pocos” mientras advierte de que la tecnología está alimentando los conflictos mundiales, exponiendo sus propuestas en el primer gran documento teológico de su pontificado.

Estas incluyen proteger la distintiva “grandeza de la humanidad” en medio de una tecnología que cambia rápidamente y que el uso de la IA en la guerra esté sujeto a “las más rigurosas restricciones éticas”.

Aunque la encíclica se centra en la IA, es un texto que va más allá de las cuestiones tecnológicas y aborda las crisis que enfrenta la humanidad. El papa León XIV dijo que la teoría de la “guerra justa”, una doctrina cristiana de cuatro puntos que establece en qué condiciones se justifica la guerra, está “ahora desfasada”, afirmando que la fuerza militar solo puede usarse para la “autodefensa en el sentido más estricto”.

Agrega que la “prueba de fuego” para la justicia social es el trato a los migrantes y refugiados y ofreció una disculpa por la participación de la Iglesia en la esclavitud y el retraso en denunciar ese flagelo.

El papa, quien ha hecho de la construcción de la paz una característica central de su pontificado, advierte de que el uso de la “fuerza, la violencia y las armas” en última instancia “tiene consecuencias desastrosas para las poblaciones civiles”.

“La construcción de un mundo en estado de conflicto perpetuo es un mal y debe ser nombrado como tal”, escribe el papa, y añade que “la humanidad posee herramientas mucho más eficaces y capaces para promover la vida humana y resolver conflictos, como el diálogo, la diplomacia y el perdón”.

Su oposición a la Guerra Justa sigue a los comentarios del vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, J. D. Vance, quien dijo que el papa “debe tener cuidado cuando habla de cuestiones de teología” después de que el líder espiritual católico criticara ferozmente los ataques conjuntos de Estados Unidos e Israel contra Irán y reprendiera a los líderes mundiales por invocar un lenguaje religioso para justificar la guerra.

En el texto, el papa también pide que se apliquen una serie de principios al desarrollo de la IA, incluyendo una distribución más justa de los recursos, la dignidad de la persona humana, la justicia social y el cuidado del medio ambiente.

Inspirándose en una historia bíblica, el papa advierte de que con la IA, la humanidad corre el riesgo de construir una “torre de Babel”, que fue un intento de las personas de “hacerse un nombre” con un solo poder y un solo idioma. El papa dice que la historia es una advertencia contra un plan que “domina y, en última instancia, deshumaniza”, insistiendo en cambio en que opiniones y grupos diversos deben contribuir al desarrollo de la IA.

León XIV insiste en que la tecnología debe proteger los empleos de las personas y necesita estar sujeta a “marcos legales sólidos, supervisión independiente, usuarios informados y un sistema político que no abdique de su responsabilidad”.

Una encíclica es tradicionalmente una carta enviada por el papa a los obispos y a la Iglesia Católica Romana en general, pero recientemente se ha ampliado, ya que el papa Francisco utilizó la primera encíclica de su pontificado para dirigirse al mundo entero sobre la protección del medio ambiente.

El documento de León XIV sobre la IA, “Magnifica Humanitas” (“Magnífica humanidad”), está siendo visto como un texto igualmente emblemático para su pontificado, y como una respuesta a un tema que define una época, dirigido a los católicos y a “toda persona de buena voluntad”.

El papa León XIV ha identificado la IA como una prioridad principal, y es el primer pontífice en presentar personalmente una carta encíclica al mundo en el Vaticano.

Los papas anteriores normalmente delegaban ese papel de presentar una encíclica a los cardenales u otras figuras

(CNN) — Iran and the United States have signaled they are closing in on an agreement to turn the existing ceasefire that ended weeks of conflict into a more long-lasting settlement.

Both sides are talking of a “memorandum of understanding” that will set out a roadmap for resolving all outstanding issues, although a deal is still a “work in progress,” according to US Secretary of State Macro Rubio.

“We’re either going to have a good agreement or we’re going to have to deal with it another way,” Rubio said during a visit to India on Monday.

But what is in that memorandum remains unclear.

The central premise of this approach is that the memo, once signed, would stop the fighting, which would be welcome news to both sides, with US President Donald Trump facing midterm elections later this year amid sharply higher gasoline prices and Iran’s economy in crisis.

The agreement would then see the gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and set off a 60-day process for tackling other issues, chief among them Iran’s nuclear program.

Rubio said there was “a pretty solid thing on the table” in terms of opening up the strait and in Iran entering into “a real significant time limited negotiation on nuclear matters.”

A senior administration official told CNN on Sunday that the framework agreement gives the parties “60 days to reach final deal points.”

According to the official, the potential deal would make sure Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon and would commit it to giving up highly enriched uranium, which the president often refers to as “nuclear dust.”

How the stockpile is disposed of would be a part of the next phase of negotiations.

“The important part of how this is structured is, if Iran doesn’t perform, they don’t get anything. No dust? No dollars. As the Strait opens, the blockade loosens proportionately,” the official said. “This is ‘trust but verify’ on steroids.”

However, Iranian officials and state media have offered different interpretations.

“We have reached understandings on a large portion of the issues under discussion. But to say this means an agreement is about to be signed — no one can make such a claim, ”said Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei Monday.

And after saying that the deal was “largely negotiated,” Trump said Sunday that the US would not rush into an agreement.

“If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Sunday, saying that deal gave Iran “a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon.”

Here’s what we know about some of the key issues at stake.

The Strait of Hormuz

Trump wrote in a social media post late Saturday that the critical waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, would reopen under the memorandum.

But multiple Iranian media outlets, some of them close to the hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported Sunday that the strait would remain under Iranian supervision. Over a period of 30 days, Iran would allow shipping to return to pre-war levels.

Tehran has slightly shifted its tone on collecting tolls from ships that pass through the strait.

“We are not seeking to collect tolls – services are provided; navigation services plus necessary measures to protect the environment of t
