A huge shipyard, believed to be the oldest in the world, has been discovered on Dana Island in the southern province of Mersin’s Silifke district.

Academics believe that the huge shipyard, which includes nearly 270 slipways, could shed light on the 400-year “Dark Ages” of the Mediterranean over 1,000 years B.C.

“This is the one and only in the world. The biggest shipyard that has been proven archaeologically in the world,” said Hakan Öniz, the head of Selçuk University’s Underwater Archaeology Department.

Öniz said they had started underwater works on the coasts of Mersin in 2015 in an attempt to discover archaeological artifacts and prohibited areas for diving on the coasts of Mersin, particularly in Silifke.

“We were surprised when we found dozens of slipways in the northern part of the island in 2015,” Öniz said, adding that they were still working to determine the exact period these structures date back to.

“During works in 2016, we also unearthed a huge shipyard where 274 ships could be built at the same time. It is the only such shipyard in the world. We are continuing work to try to date it. Most probably it is the oldest shipyard in the world. We estimate that it was used around 1,200 B.C. in the Late Bronze Age,” he said.

Stating that the Dana Island most probably was known as the island of the Denyen, named the “Sea People” in the 12th century, Öniz said the Denyens were first mentioned by the Hittite King Telipinu around 1,500 B.C. “The Adania region, which King Telipinu mentioned, is the region of Adana and Mersin today,” he added.
“The reason why this era is called the ‘Dark Age’ is that we have limited archaeological information about a period of around 300-400 years. Most probably a big drought, earthquakes or epidemic disease occurred in the 13th century B.C. We can deduce this from the fact that Egyptian Pharaoh Ramses II had to send ships full of grain from the Alexandria region, which is usually productive and suitable for agriculture.

What's the point of libraries anymore, now that we have internet and cheap, easily accessible storage devices?

My 32 GB USB can store thousands of pdfs and ebooks, why don't we just scan everything? What's the point of even printing books anymore, why don't we just publish everything directly on the internet, thus saving tons of paper/wood in return?

Stop worrying so much about how you can create a better future. Start enjoying now, because if you don't, your future will be simply full of conscious awareness of a miserable past. Keep enjoying the present so you can look back on a happy life, that is in itself happiness since we don't know the future

Create a happy past. That's the secret

I need to know the name of the style of architecture that was used for a lot of buildings in the 1920s, and I'm not talking about Art Deco. I'll post more references after the OP.

>all continental northern and central europeans have jewish ancestry
>jews have been in europe for millenia, there were entrenched jewish communities in hispania, gaul and rome
>much of judaism was developed in europe
>judaism had a major influence on western law
>christianity is jewish in origin and obviously played a major influence on western culture and history
>israel/palestine was a part of the roman empire, was heavily hellenised as well
>ashkenazi jews make up the vast majority of the world's jews, ashkenazi jews seem to resemble samaritans more then any other jewish population and samaritans are ancient israelite racial stock
>jews have always been known for being gingers even in the middle east
>blond egyptian mummies were probably either jewish or closely related and from the same region

Yet, westerners and particularly nordicisits and white racialist act like jews are some "alien semitic" population and culture from the desert, even though israel is a coastal, urban country and has been for millenia, and was fertile and forested in ancient times, is barely desert now anyway and is in the process of being regreened.

Just like many conflicts like the anglo/brit-irish conflict, the balkan conflicts, the israel - palestine conflict, and countless others, this form of anti-semitism is a case of closely related people fighting, the nazis and other european anti-semites wanted to distinguish themselves from jews so much precisely because they knew how closely intertwined and related they were. Jewish culture for example has had a major influence on polish culture and all poles have jewish ancestry. Germans and germany was always associated with jews, and they were a major influence on the intellectual culture there

What do you guys think about Galicia region?
Should it became a celtic nation despite the fact that they lost their old language?
