Another report from a couple o days ago

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/apr/18/mediterranean-shipwrecks-reveal-birth-of-globalisation-in-trade

“The last phase of Enigma’s fieldwork was carried out at the end of 2015, with the post-excavation process continuing for years after and remaining unpublicised until now. “

Keeping it a secret for over 4 years, obviously none of the work in politics.

Darn Chinese globalists in 300 BC. Were they exporting deadly diseases back then, too?

The Justinian plague epidemic was first reported by the Byzantine historian Procopius in 541 A.D. from the ancient port of Pelusium, near Suez in Egypt. Historians had assumed it arrived there from the Red Sea or Africa, but in 2010 geneticists began positing it had a Chinese origin via the Silk Road and oceanic voyages.

It wouldn’t be surprising to find that Chinese diseases were propagated as soon as sea and overland trade began.

“Tobacco” pipes in the Mediterranean in 300 BC?!?

Either those sailors were smoking something other than tobacco, or this reveals trade routes that go much further than China.

My understanding is that the wrecks date from as early as 300BC to as late as the 17th Century (1600s) for the largest wreck.

300 bc. The early Greek period. Very cool.

Wonder if they’ll find any muslin stuff.
