Latest / Divers recovered giant head of Hercules from Antikythera shipwreck in Greece
« Last post by Yeshu on June 28, 2022, 10:34:14 PM »https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/06/the-antikythera-shipwreck-in-greece-continues-to-yield-priceless-treasures/?fbclid=IwAR1IKMTqy4ldYrx-bc3Tx_m5jAWOh0QdJXiOmRusH8aznMqUpb5AN9HyV80
The so-called Antikythera mechanism, recovered from the wreckage of an ancient cargo ship off the coast of Antikythera Island in Greece, might be the world's oldest analog computer. The mystery surrounding its purpose and origin continues to fascinate scientists and enthusiasts alike to this day. But it's not the only treasure salvaged from that Antikythera wreck. An ongoing underwater archaeological project most recently recovered a large marble head of a bearded male figure believed to be part of a statue of Hercules. Divers also recovered a marble plinth with the lower legs of another statue, two human teeth, and several pieces of the cargo ship's equipment.
As we've previously reported, in 1900, a Greek sponge diver named Elias Stadiatis discovered the wreck, which was apparently surrounded by rotting corpses on the sea floor. The captain, Dimitrios Kondos, didn't believe Elias at first and thought the nitrogen in his breathing mix had affected the diver's senses. So Kondos dove down to the site himself, emerging with an arm from a bronze statue.
Kondos and his crew had recovered all kinds of artifacts from the shipwreck by mid-1901, including 36 marble sculptures (representing Hercules, Ulysses, Diomedes, Hermes, and Apollo, among others); a bronze statue dubbed "The Philosopher" (circa 340 BCE); a bronze lyre; pieces of glasswork; and three marble horse statues. Along with the Antikythera mechanism, these precious artifacts are now housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Latest / Israeli researchers find 'indisputable proof' of oldest-ever domestic fruit tree
« Last post by Yeshu on June 17, 2022, 01:02:43 PM »"Someone brought them there intentionally – took the knowledge and the plant itself to a place that is outside its natural habitat," said Dafna Langgut of the Department of Archaeology & Ancient Near Eastern Cultures at Tel Aviv University.
According to researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Hebrew University, charcoal remnants of olive trees found at the Chalcolithic Tel Zaf site in the Jordan Valley indicate that the trees were planted intentionally. This is because the olive does not naturally grow in the Jordan Valley, researchers said.
"In archaeobotany, this is considered indisputable proof of domestication, which means that we have here the earliest evidence of the olive's domestication anywhere in the world," said Langgut, who headed the study.
The findings were published in May in the journal Scientific Reports.
"Trees, even when burned down to charcoal, can be identified by their anatomic structure," said Langgut. "That's why identifying tree remnants found at archaeological sites, such as charcoal from hearths, is a key to understanding what kinds of trees grew in the natural environment at the time, and when humans began to cultivate fruit trees," she said.

Latest / The 2022 wildfire season is New Mexico's largest in 30 years
« Last post by Yeshu on June 10, 2022, 09:50:35 AM »The two largest fires in New Mexico history are happening simultaneously and are only expected to get bigger through the weekend. The wildfires -- the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire just northeast of Santa Fe and the Black Fire in the Gila National Forest -- continue to burn at a historic pace, which firefighters are still working to contain, and are the largest human-caused wildfires in the state's recorded history. The previous largest fire, the 2011 Las Conchas fire, was half the size of the merged Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon fires, which are 65% contained.

Latest / 3,400-year-old 'lost city' of Mitanni-Period Palace found in Kurdistan
« Last post by Yeshu on June 01, 2022, 10:23:40 PM »https://news.abplive.com/science/3400-year-old-city-emerges-from-mosul-reservoir-on-tigris-river-archaeologists-study-1535021
An international team of researchers have found a 3,400-year-old Mitanni Empire-era city which was once located in Iraq's Tigris River. The Mitanni was an Indo-Iranian empire centred in northern Mesopotamia which flourished from about 1500 to 1350 BC. The city emerged from the waters of the Mosul reservoir early this year as water levels fell rapidly due to extreme drought in Iraq.

Wisdom / Re: The Nag Hammadi Library - The Apocalypse of Adam
« Last post by Yeshu on May 08, 2022, 02:12:43 PM »But the generation without a king over it says that God chose him from all the aeons. He caused a knowledge of the undefiled one of truth to come to be in him. He said, "Out of a foreign air, from a great aeon, the great illuminator came forth. And he made the generation of those men whom he had chosen for himself shine, so that they could shine upon the whole aeon"
Then the seed, those who will receive his name upon the water and (that) of them all, will fight against the power. And a cloud of darkness will come upon them.
Then the peoples will cry out with a great voice, saying, "Blessed is the soul of those men because they have known God with a knowledge of the truth! They shall live forever, because they have not been corrupted by their desire, along with the angels, nor have they accomplished the works of the powers, but they have stood in his presence in a knowledge of God like light that has come forth from fire and blood.
"But we have done every deed of the powers senselessly. We have boasted in the transgression of all our works. We have cried against the God of truth because all his works [...] is eternal. These are against our spirits. For now we have known that our souls will die the death."
Then a voice came to them, saying "Micheu and Michar and Mnesinous, who are over the holy baptism and the living water, why were you crying out against the living God with lawless voices and tongues without law over them, and souls full of blood and foul deeds? You are full of works that are not of the truth, but your ways are full of joy and rejoicing. Having defiled the water of life, you have drawn it within the will of the powers to whom you have been given to serve them.
"And your thought is not like that of those men whom you persecute [...] desire [...]. Their fruit does not wither. But they will be known up to the great aeons, because the words they have kept, of the God of the aeons, were not committed to the book, nor were they written. But angelic (beings) will bring them, whom all the generations of men will not know. For they will be on a high mountain, upon a rock of truth. Therefore they will be named "The Words of Imperishability and Truth," for those who know the eternal God in wisdom of knowledge and teaching of angels forever, for he knows all things."
