    I have experiance working as a repair welder. I had to prepare weld then it was sent to our machining department. In fact I mastered this skill while working on heavy machinery at this company, http://www.lnh.net/.  Stuff like this is easily made today,  I am not sure how ancients could have had a big enough lathe to turn this sphere or if it was had ground. I will say that for ferrite containing objects have to be worked to be that smooth and precise. These are pictures of it, https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=iron+ore&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002... I hope we can eventually find more on ancient sanding agents.

    Comment Author: Osiris Tours

    Cleopatra was was one of the few famous queens who ruled ancient Egypt? she brought the Egyptian and Roman empires together through her relationship with Mark Antony.
    Cleopatra was well educated and clever; she spoke various languages and served as the dominant ruler in all three of her co-regencies.

    The end of Cleopatra started right after Actium Sea Battle in 31 B.C when she announced the war against Octavian, the Roman leader.
    Cleopatra and her lover Mark Antony commanded several hundred ships, many of them well-armored war galleys equipped with wooden towers for archers, massive rams and heavy grappling irons.
    Mark Antony and Cleopatra lost the war so Cleopatra killed herself when she heard that Antony was killed in the battle.

    Cleopatra had a son called Caesarion, after her death Octavian executed him, and used Cleopatra’s treasure to pay off his veterans. In 27 B.C., Octavian became Augustus, the first and arguably most successful of all Roman emperors. He ruled a peaceful, prosperous, and expanding Roman Empire until his death in 14 A.D. at the age of 75.

    Of course you all have heard the word Isis before!
    It is such a shame that this name became associated with the most radical and terrorist group in the human history.
    In today’s post, we will show you the real Isis, one of the most amazing goddesses in the ancient Egyptian history.
    Isis is the goddess of magic, motherhood, and love in ancient Egypt.
    Isis was the mother of God Horus and the wife of God Osiris.
    The ancient Egyptians fall in love with Goddess Isis and built for her one of the most beautiful temples in Egypt, Philae temple.
    Philae/Goddess Isis temple is located in Aswan, about 560 miles south of the Great Pyramids and 140 miles south of King Tut tomb.
    The temple of Goddess Isis or Philae is considered to be a hidden gem in Upper Egypt; the history of the temple goes back to the 7th century BC.In 1971, The United Nations with UNESCO helped Egypt to save the temple after the Egyptians built the High Dam.

    Comment Author: T. Hammer

    "Cleo was Alexander the great's distant descedant.." What exactly is a distant descendant? Was she related by blood to Alexander or not? Or was she a direct descendant of Ptolemy? Or were the three of them part of one big happy family?

    Comment Author: T. Hammer

    Your skepticism is a good thing Ricky, I hope you never lose it. The photo shows something entirely different than the artistic renditions following it. The photo clearly shows some serious hard rock tunneling, of roof, walls, and floor, which are totally inconsistent with the 'explanation' given in the article. I seriously doubt Iron Age people had the time or means to do this sort of work. Where are the tools, the archaeological evidence for the rock tunneling? Do local museums hold any evidence for this contention? And why is the assumption that this tunnel was carved from the surface down? Seems to me it could as easily have been carved the other way. But that contention would require some serious explaining on someone's part. Clearly someone is not giving us the real story here, they are showing us an apple and telling us it is an orange.

    Cleopatra being the pharaoh would have been embalmed and put in a tomb that
    remains to be found.When her tomb is excavated her remains may or may not
    indicate the cause of death.It is possible that Octavian saw her once briefly but
    most likely saw a servant, someone accustomed to portraying her under a veil.The
    body was that of the servant while Cleo's body was secretly removed by the priests.

    Sir Francis Drake did NOT walk around the world. Circumambulation is WALKING. The word you failed so epically to find, is circumnavigate.

    My sentiments exactly! I don't see any spiral on the object. Unless it is further tested we will never know what it is.

    Comment Author: Cesar Dario

    The article shows some interesting photos and theories, but the researcher shots his own foot when he declares that it was "technical and artistic expertise imported into South America from the Mediterranean Region."

    Come on, that is completely wrong. It was developed entirely by the Nasca.

    By the way. They where breath holes and doubled as water sinkholes.

    Let me get this straight, atmospheric pressure from ambient air, channeled by these spiraling structures, forces water to be redistributed along under ground tunnels...?

    Hmm, some how these so called researchers struck the ball into the same field with the alien-origin theory...is there something I didn't read right?

    In regards to this statement in the article.. "However, not content with attacking ships and sailors, the corsairs also sometimes raided coastal settlements in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, England, Ireland, and even as far away as the Netherlands and Iceland".....does the author not realize that the Netherlands is in the mainland of Europe with the other European countries he named? (In fact closer than England and Ireland). Was he perhaps thinking of Greenland when he says "even as far away as the Netherlands"?

  • Reply to: Oath of Silence Protects Amazing 500-Year-Old Diving Bell Used to Visit Sunken Roman Vessels   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: lizleafloor

    Hi Randy,

    The oath was to protect the revolutionary valve tech: “Their ability to remain underwater for these unprecedented lengths of time was a first. Fancesco de Marchi kept detailed records of their dives, but swore an oath of silence on the all-important mechanism that allowed the air to be refreshed in the bell.”

    Modern investigators feel that they’ve pieced together the design from historical records, solving the ancient mystery.
