Researchers have finally found out why the jade-green cup appears red when lit from behind

Can’t wait until I can dynamically change my car’s paint color by selectively modifying the electric charge (low voltage) applied to the car’s frame/body. White during the hot, sunny Summer, and black (not the racist kind) to absorb the Sun’s heat during the Winter and the coming Little Ice-Age.

(BTW, I hold the patent rights.)

Also a warning of what you will look like after too much wine...!

Roman tech ping!

[Little Ray]

Once guess was that it detects poison by changing colors.

Very interesting. I wonder how they discovered this. Where are the artefacts showing development toward this?

And the Huns were pioneers in psychology and physical fitness. ;-)

Since the researchers couldn’t put liquid into the precious artifact itself

And why the heck not? They subjected it to much more by cleaning it than water or wine would do to it.

No, it was Nefertiti who used powdered gold and silver as eye makeup so she would dazzle her Egyptian court

It was handed down finally to Cleopatra who dazzled Caesar.

He had his glazier artisans put it into cups so he could dazzle the barabarians.

So, Rome was a nano-state?
