 The 17-century-old ring rescued from the bottom of the sea



In the first centuries, Christianity was a clandestine and persecuted religion. They represented Jesus as a shepherd boy with a sheep on his shoulders. This representation of Christ was also an imitation of Apollo. It was a way of evading Roman censorship. A jewel with this figure was found in the sea. It is the ring of 17 centuries rescued from the bottom of the sea.

Underwater treasure

On the ring, the figure of Christ is carved on a green gemstone. The piece is part of an underwater find. It is a treasure that includes Roman and medieval silver coins. They date back to the 3rd century.

Israeli authorities found it. Robert Kool is head of the country's coin department. He said the ring is an "exceptional" piece. Possibly the set found came from "a Roman ship originating in Italy".

The treasure was discovered by a group of archaeologists from Israel's Marine Archaeology Unit. There are bells, nails, ceramics, figurines and an iron anchor. All from shipwrecks that occurred approximately 1,700 years ago off the coast of Israel.

Expansion of Christianity

Images similar to this Jesus were found in catacombs where Christians took refuge. In the area, around the 4th century, one of the first communities of followers of Jesus was established. From that point the Christian religion began to spread throughout the world. That primitive community had a strong evangelistic impulse. It spread throughout the known world at that time.

Israel is the scene of frequent archaeological finds with biblical connotations. They are related to both the Old and the New Testament. One of the most important findings of the last half century is that of the city of Magdala. This is where Mary Magdalene, the follower of Jesus, originated from. The 17-century-old ring rescued from the bottom of the sea is just another of these great finds.

Wasps are building fluorescent nests

 Wasps are building fluorescent nests A team of scientists say they have come across the first known case of animals building fluorescent houses. In a new study, they detail the finding of nests built by certain species of wasps that glow green under exposure to ultraviolet light. What's more, wasps of the same family in other parts of the world also appear capable of creating similarly creepy structures. The discovery occurred during an expedition to northern Vietnam, but not intentionally, according to the scientists. Study author Bernd Schöllhorn, a professor of chemistry at the University of Paris, told Live Science that they traveled with ultraviolet lights in the hope of stumbling upon any fluorescent bugs after dark. Instead, they found wasp nests with cocoons (woven silk structures that cover the nest and keep the larvae safe) that emitted a bright mucus-green glow when exposed to ultraviolet light between 360 and 400 nanometers wavelength at night. Like any good researche...

 Chinese military satellite disintegrates into more than 20 parts after collision with Russian space debris The mysterious malfunction of the Yunhai 1-02 satellite in March may have been resolved. The discarded wreckage of an old Russian rocket appears to have crashed into the Chinese satellite, in what is an ominous sign of things to come in our increasingly crowded low Earth orbit. On March 22, 2021, the U.S. Space Force's 18th Space Control Squadron posted a startling tweet announcing that Yunhai 1-02, a Chinese military satellite launched in September 2019, had broken up. The breakup occurred four days earlier, and it was unclear why this less than two-year-old satellite suddenly experienced a calamitous malfunction. In its tweet, the Space Force squadron said its "analysis is ongoing" and that it would track down the 21 pieces of newly created debris. #18SPCS has confirmed the breakup of YUNHAI 1-02 (#44547, 2019-063A), which occurred on March 18, 2021, at 0741 UTC...
