š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æš Archaeologists find 2000 year-old 'Gemstones' in drain beneath a Roman Bathhouse, Carlisle, England
Down a drain beneath the murky waters of an ancient Roman bathhouse in Carlisle, England, nearĀ Hadrianās Wall, archaeologists have discovered a troveĀ of gemstones lost by bathers 2000 years ago. More than 30 gems, including amethyst,Ā jasperĀ andĀ carnelian have been found so far during excavations at the site. Wealthy bathers likely dropped them back in opulent bathhouseās heyday in 2nd-3rd Century CE.
āItās incredible,ā says archaeologistĀ Frank Giecco, who led the excavation, toĀ Observerās Dalya Alberge. āItās caught everyoneās imagination. They were just falling out of peopleās rings who were using the baths. They were set with a vegetable glue and, in the hot and sweaty bathhouse, they fell out of the ring settings.ā
The pieces feature deities dedicated toĀ war, sun,Ā commerce,Ā luckĀ andĀ fertility. The largest were around 0.6 inches and smallest were just under 0.2 inches. Their small size would have made the carvings particularly difficult, requiring the expertise of an advanced craftsman.Ā
āYou donāt find such gems on low-status Roman sites,ā Giecco tells Observer. āSo theyāre not something that would have been worn by the poor.ā Still, Carlisle site isnāt entirely unique: In the past, similar gemstones have beenĀ found in the drainsĀ of other bathhouses during archaeological excavations.Ā
The small, semiprecious engraved gems areĀ known as intaglios, which were first produced some 5000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Owners would press their intaglios into clay or wax to create a seal, which they used to authenticate documents (similar to a modern-day signature). āTheir material, size and color would reflect the wealth and taste of the patron,ā writes G. Max Bernheimer, Christieās international head of antiquities, on auction houseās website. At one point, he adds, it was in fashion for Romans to wear intaglios featuring the likenesses of their favorite philosophers.
āThe intaglios can be seen on many levels,ā Giecco tellsĀ Artnetās Min Chen, āfrom pieces of art to connections to the individuals who owned them.ā
In addition to the gemstones, the team at the Carlisle bathhouse found over 40 womenāsĀ hairpins and 35 glassĀ beadsĀ in drain. Hundreds of other artifacts, including pottery, weapons and coins have also been uncovered at the site. Eventually, discoveries will most likely go on view at Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery.
āCarlisle was very much at the center of the Roman frontier,ā Giecco tells BBC News, āand we are very excited to go back ā¦ for more amazing finds, as it is the site that just keeps giving.ā

Trump's war on Iran is causing Gulf states to reassess their relationship with the U.S. and look to diversify their foreign partnerships:
"Many believe he dragged the Gulf into a war shaped heavily by Israel, without sharing a plan and acting hastily and without fully weighing the political and economic fallout for allies."
The U.S. is simply torching its diplomatic leverage for Israeli interests.

AI as it is currently understood is not mere technology, but a system of total technological domination over the public. Just as institutions and people have already ceded too much of cyberspace to the cloud, we are in danger of offering even more of our lives and society on the altar of centralized computing. The āsingularityā was never to be an economic or technological boon, but rather the mere collapse of society under the weight of digital totalitarianism. Naked human dominance and tyranny was the face behind the techno-utopian mask. A generation was evicted from the ideal of home ownership by the combination of a variety of economic and social forces, it would seem that the same is taking place in cyberspace. āHardware is the new homesā, as the public becomes priced out of securing a modest home server.

Iran War Hits Cyber, Food, Energy: Stryker Cyberattack, India Fertilizer Stoppage
Iran's escalating war is now striking on multiple fronts: massive cyber wiper attacks + real-world food and energy disruptions:
-
Handala (Iran-linked)'s cyberattack on Stryker wiped data from 200,000 devices, halting operations. India's fertilizer production stopped due to LNG shortages, right before planting season.
-
Fuel rationing hits West Australia (emergency-only sales) and Bangladesh, while Vietnam, South Korea, and Pakistan impose work-from-home, price caps, and austerity measures like 4-day work weeks.
This isn't hypothetical anymoreācyber pandemic warnings from IBM/WEF-linked reports are playing out alongside engineered shortages impacting global rice, wheat, cotton, and sugar supplies. The technocrats are engineering crises, managing perceptions as they cast blow after blow on supply chains. Start gardening now!
