Oldest deep sea shipwreck ever discovered found off the coast of Israel.

Gong to quote the full article:

"Cargo from the remains of the oldest shipwreck to be found win the deep sea has been discovered n the eastern Mediterranean, Israeli archaeologists have sad.

Hundreds of intact amphorae - ancient storage jars - believed to be 3,300 years old were discovered 90km (56 miles) off the northern coast of Israel at a depth of 1,800m (5,905ft) on the sea bed.

Experts at the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) say the discovery suggest sailors of the period were able to navigate the oceans by using celestial navigation - taking bearings from the sun and stars.

The wreck was found during a routine oil and gas survey.

According to the IAA, the shipwreck is the "first and oldest" to be found in the region and probably sank during a storm or as a result of a pirate attack.

This find reveals to us as never before the ancient mariners' navigational skills," Jacob Sharvit, head of the IAA's marine unit.

He added it showed our ancestors were capable of traversing the Mediterranean Sea "without a line of sight to any coast".

"From this geographical point, only the horizon its visible all around. To navigate they probably used the celestial bodies, by taking sightings and angles of the sun and star positions."

The cargo was spotted by robot submersibles belonging to the oil and gas firm Energean which was looking for potential new energy sources off the Israeli coast.

Cameras picked up "what seemed to be a large pile of jugs heaped on the seafloor", according to the company's Karnit Bahartan.

Only two of the amphorae - believed to have been used by the Canaanite people who lived in an area stretching from modern-day Turkey to Egypt - were removed using specially designed tools, so as not to disturb the remaining artefacts.

Dr Bahartan described there discovery as a "truly sensational find".

She said that only two other shipwrecks with cargo are known from the late Bronze Age in the Mediterranean Sea, both of which were found relatively close to the Turkish coast using normal diving equipment.

"Based on these two finds, the academic assumption until now was that trade in that time was executed by safely flitting from port to port, hugging the coastline within eye contact," Dr Bahartan said.

"The discover of this boat now changes our entire understanding of ancient mariner abilities.

"It is the very first to be found at such a great distance with no line of sight to any landmass," she said.

The jars are expected to go on display this summer at the National Campus for the Archaeology of Israel in Jerusalem."

Charred and Charged Off: What Happens to Cars After California Wildfires

Every year, California wildfires chew through forests, neighborhoods, and entire communities like a blowtorch on a bender. Among the ruins are the scorched skeletons of cars—once shiny, functional machines reduced to melted rims and burnt-out shells. But what happens to these vehicular victims of nature’s fury once the smoke clears? Let’s open the hood on the smoky, sooty afterlife of…

Headcanons of the IAA agents that no one asked for, but I'm writing anyway because we need more content about these corrupt mfs

14

As other users have mentioned, his name is Warren, no doubt about it.

Divorced, there's no doubt about that either.

He has a daughter named Zoey. His agency friends (Karen Daniels) call her 15.

He comes from a wealthy but distant family. He was closer to his nanny to the point of believing she was his mother until the age of five.

He wanted to be an airplane pilot as a child.

He studied law at an Ivy League school. Despite being a good lawyer, he never liked that life. When he abandoned his career and decided to join the IAA, he became the black sheep of the family, leading to disinheritance.

Have you seen that episode of The Office where Ryan wins the Hottest Employee Dundie? Well, he won the equivalent of that award at the IAA. Three times.

Despite being charismatic to us, many people within the agency don't like him, thinking he talks too much and his jokes are bad (which is true, but we don't care).

Elite agent.

FBI agents spread the rumor that he's short.

Total cinephile. A Martin Scorsese fanatic.

After contemplating it for a long time, he finally decided to join Lovemeet.net. There, he met Kiki Jenkins (who moved to LS) and dated her for a while.

He has never killed anyone, which is unusual for a GTA character.

2. Karen Daniels

She grew up in an orphanage and was in four different foster homes before being adopted by a stable couple

Good at math, she became a mathlete in high school.

Before joining the IAA, she was a con artist. And before that, she was a regular college student in need of quick money.

Elite agent and polyglot

She despises the FBI, especially Steve Haines. She and 14 used to mock his show, and Haines referred to them as "Mulder and Scully."

She has a dog as a pet.

Workaholic and incredibly organized.

She only drinks coffee without sugar. She once said, "People who take coffee with sugar are weak."

She doesn't believe in horoscopes or the MBTI.

She lives in LS but hates warm climates.

Avon Herzt once asked her out, and she obviously rejected him.

Her goal is to become the director of the IAA

Lately, she has been trying to quit smoking

3. ULP

He is gay and had a relationship with Jon Gravelli from GTA IV during the '60s (don't ask).

Unofficially, he, along with Rackman, adopted Karen and 14.

4. Phoenicia Rackman

Divorced and with two children.

Runs a cat rescue group (though this is almost canon).

Karen's spiritual teacher.

During the '90s, she was sent on various missions throughout the Middle East and Latin America. There are rumors and theories about what she did, but none are confirmed.
