Previously unknown monumental temple discovered near the Tempio Grande in Vulci



Summary Of University Of Freiburg 

One of the largest known Etruscan sacred buildings has been found by archaeologists. The strata of the temple provide insight into the development of one of the most important Etruscan cities over the course of more than 1000 years. The newly discovered temple was constructed around the same time as the nearby Tempo Grande, and is roughly the same size and on a similar alignment. This extraordinary discovery of monumental buildings duplicated in an Etruscan city is rare 


In the ancient city of 'V u l c i', which is located in the Italian region of 'L a t i u m', an interdisciplinary team led by archaeologists Dr. Mariachi Ara Frances Chin of the University of Freiburg and Paul P. 'P AS I E K A' of the University of Mainz has discovered a previously unknown Etruscan temple. The 45-by-35-meter structure is west of the sacred Tempo Grande, which was discovered during excavations in the 1950s. The researchers were able to date the construction of the temple toward the end of the sixth or the beginning of the fifth century BCE after conducting an initial examination of the objects found in the northeast corner of the temple and the strata of the foundation




According to Frances Chin, "the new temple was built about the same time as the neighboring Tempo Grande and is roughly the same size and on a similar alignment." Pasieka adds, "This extraordinary finding of monumental buildings duplicated in an Etruscan city is rare." While working on the VU L CI Cityscape project, which began in 2020 and aimed to investigate the settlement strategies and urbanistic structures of VU L CI, the team came across the temple. Vulcan was one of the Etruscan Federation's twelve cities and one of Italy's most important urban centers in pre-Roman times


New discoveries about city design and development

New insights into the planning and development of cities P A S I E K A explains, "We studied the entire northern area of VU L CI, which is 22.5 hectares, using geophysical prospecting and ground-penetrating radar". "We are now better able to comprehend the dynamics of settlement and the road system, in addition to identifying various functional areas in the city, thanks to the discovery of remains from the city's beginnings that were previously overlooked in VU L CI". The analysts had the option in 2021 to uncover the principal segments of the wall, made of strong tuff. According to Frances Chin, "our understanding of the appearance and organization of Etruscan cities has been limited up until this point". One of the most important Etruscan cities' development over a thousand years can be traced back to the temple's intact strata.  


Throughout the next few years, the researchers need to concentrate on the various periods of purpose and the exact engineering appearance of the sanctuary in more profundity, to study the religion of the Etruscans, the social designs in VU L CI, and what the existences of the city's occupants were truly similar to

The excavation is being funded by the Fritz T. Hansen Foundation and the G ERD A. Henkel Foundation. The project is also being supported by the University of Mainz's research area, "40,000 Years of Human Challenges: Premodern Societies' Perception, Conceptualization, and Coping The VU L CI Foundation, which manages the archaeological park PERCO Naturalistic Archeologist di VU L CI, and the Italian national monument authority, So pr intend en ZA Archeologist, Belle Artie P A SA G GI O Viterbo, and per l'Etruria meridional, collaborate with the departments of classical archaeology at the University of Mainz and the University of Freiburg

What Is Difference Between Chia Seeds And Flaxseed

  Certain seeds have gained a reputation as superfoods in recent years. Examples include the well-known chia and flax seeds. Both have been linked to health benefits such as a healthier heart, lower blood sugar levels, and protection against certain types of cancer. However, many people wonder which of the two seeds is actually the healthiest. Both are extremely rich in nutrients. To answer this question, this article looks at the scientific evidence that supports each The Saliva Hispanic plant, more commonly referred to as the chia plant, is the source of the tiny oval-shaped chia seeds. Chia seeds are slightly larger and flatter than flax seeds. Flax seeds, on the other hand, have a slightly nuttier flavor than chia seeds. However, incorporating both kinds of seeds into a variety of dishes is simple Nutrition comparison Comparative analysis of the nutrients present in chia and flax seeds The major nutrients contained in a 1-ounce (28-gram) serving, or approximately 4 tablespoons,...

Overconsumption of Common Red Food Dye May Lead to Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Image
  Allure Red AC, a synthetic dye found in popular foods like Skittles, Doritos, Gatorade, Jell-O, and Fruit Loops, has been linked to an increased risk of developing inflammatory bowel diseases (I-B D S) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis if consumed frequently. The dye, also known as FD & C Red 40 and Food Red 17, is thought to have negative effects on gut health and increase inflammation, according to a small study done on laboratory mice. The study, which was recently published in Nature Communications, found that the additive directly breaks the gut barrier, which helps keep bacteria from getting in, and that it also makes more serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter in the gut. According to the report, this reaction alters the microbiome of the gut, making people more likely to develop inflammatory bowel conditions. What we have found is striking and alarming, as this common synthetic food dye may be a dietary trigger for I-B D S, said senior author W-A L-I U...

Border violence displaces 76,000 in Lebanon: Hezbollah

 The International Organization for Migration (IOM) of the United Nations reported on Friday that nearly three months of nearly daily fighting along the border with Israel had resulted in the displacement of more than 76,000 people in Lebanon. The boundary region has seen a flood of viciousness since early October, with blow for blow trades of fire forging ahead with Friday between Israeli powers and Hezbollah. In a report distributed on Thursday, the IOM said that the heightening had uprooted 76,018 individuals, predominantly in areas of southern Lebanon lining Israel. More than 80% of the dislodged Lebanese are remaining with family members, as per the report, and just two percent housed in 14 aggregate sanctuaries spread across the south of the country, predominantly in the seaside city of Tire and in the Hasbaya locale. The remainder, according to the UN agency, have relocated to homes or apartments further from the border. Cross-line brutality has left 175 individuals dead in ...
