Been waiting for this. There have to be other carbonized libraries in the area. Who knows what may be discovered, only about 10% of Roman era writings survive. Remember reading years ago about the Caesars. One of them was a prolific writer, ...

400 year old shipwreck found. Bronze cannons looks like. Sadly a lot of Roman and Greek bronze statuary survived through the Middle Ages, the Pantheon was adorned with them for example. Then most of them were melted down to make cannons. Sigh. ...

Reading a Jarod Diamond book, always enjoy his work. Just so many fascinating things about other cultures. Came across a little gem that highlights the importance of researching local customs before visiting, especially in less well travelled parts. ...

Interesting. And it's written by an anthropologist with anthropological concerns, even if it doesn't seem so initially. Posted as an interesting viewpoint, not trying to start anything. :)

I've actually speculated about this myself for years. Cause of peeps arguing ancient high technology and Atlantis silliness, I assumed that such things would be detectable in ice cores and sediments. I was right apparently.

Otzi update! I have found his story fascinating, have followed it for years. A few tidbits picked up along the way. Every copper axe ever found was polished to almost a mirror sheen, so they must have been high status items. They also weren't very ...
