and finally, a shipwreck with amphorae dating back to the early Christian period...
amphetamine?
I wonder where they were heading.
Incredible article.
What always fascinates me is that in all these different eras, these people thought their civilization and even their generation were the be all and end all...when it was really a moment in time.
I guess that applies to us too. We are but a moment in time

I sometimes think of an old book "The Mad Scientists' Club", that was popular among Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, and geeks of course. There was an interesting observation somewhere in there (the chapter on their lighter-than-airship I think) where they were making their way at night by use of a pair of powerful flashlights, a compass, and two sets of binoculars. The compass and a flashlight and binocs stayed at the point of origin, the other flashlight and binocs went as far in the generally right direction as possible where each could see the other. Anyway, the summary idea was articulated in the form that otherwise, it's like trying to draw a mile long straight line with a one inch ruler.
Wow, that was the long way around.
It's analogous to our own brief lives and how our perspective is so tightly defined by our longevity. Or maybe I just need to drink some electrolytes and take a nap.

In the scale of universal time, we’re less than a butterfly’s fart in the wind.
