This ancient Roman artifacts are also 453 million years old

Despite how Ross is treated for excavation by his comrades in friendsThere is something special about finding the remains of the creatures that lived millions if not billions of years before us. In fact, the interest of humanity in fossil science is not a modern development. The ancient Romans were fascinated by fossils.

According to the ancient Roman historians, Emperor August created the first well -known museum of excavation in a villa on Capri Island, where the bones of the old “giants” and “monsters” showed. While excavation scientists did not reveal such imaginary remains, a study was published on Thursday in the magazine sciences It describes something, in my opinion, more privacy – an ancient Roman amulet made of excavation of a creature who lived between 453 and 460 million years.

The researchers claim that the artifacts “are the first documented trilogy in the Roman world and the closest known signal to this fossil group – and the deliberate manipulation of a triple sample – in all classical ancient times”, wrote in the study. Trilogy It is a group of marine arthropods that existed between 521 and 251 million years. They added that “Trilobite is the third in the global archaeological registry that was collected and used by people more than a thousand years ago.”

A rare artifact appeared in a Roman settlement in northwestern Spain called Cibdá from Armea, which was from the first to the third century CE. Researchers suggest that Al -Ahfouri himself originated in oil rock, 267 miles (430 km) away from the Romanian settlement. Trilobite is likely to reach a trading settlement or as a person’s property from central Lusitia (A Roman Province in Spain) moves to the region.

In both cases, someone clearly changed the fossil. The researchers explained that “the Armea Trilobite part undoubtedly shows evidence of humanitarian work, especially on the underside and left side of the piece.” “These signs do not affect the upper surface, which displays the distinctive articulated parts of the dorsal outer structure of the trio.

According to the study, the modified pits could have been a symbol of the game, part of a necklace or bracelet, a domain necklace on a metal mountain, or just an object that people carry in their bag or pocket. Regardless of how to formulate a triple, it was likely to be kept for supernatural purposes, smell, or medical, and it was abandoned between the first and third centuries.

The researchers wrote: “It is reasonable to look that Trilobite may have been aware of the contract of magic and preventive powers to wear, as is the case with excavations or even trilogy in other well -known archaeological contexts.” Likewise, archaeologists found the trilogy alongside a bronze currency for August.

This discovery is a testament to the fact that the curiosity of humanity on what came before us is a global feature that exceeds cultures, borders and even the same time. It represents a reassuring reminder, especially at such times – when the only thing that everyone seems to be agreed upon is our many differences.
