ORICHALCUM, THE LOST METAL OF ATLANTIS, MAY HAVE BEEN FOUND ON A SHIPWRECK OFF SICILY

 A total of 39 ingots (metal set into rectangular blocks) were, according to Inquisitr, discovered near a shipwreck. 

BBC reported that another same metal cache was found. 47 more ingots were found, with a total of 86 metal pieces found to date.

The wreck was discovered in 1988, floating about 300 meters (1,000 ft) off the coast of Gela in Sicily in shallow waters. At the time of the shipwreck Gela was a rich city and had many factories that produced fine objects.   Scientists believe that the pieces of orichalcum were destined for those laboratories when the ship sank.

Sebastiano Tusa, Sicily’s superintendent of the Sea Office, told Discovery News that the precious ingots were probably being brought to Sicily from Greece or Asia Minor.

Tusa said that the discovery of orichalcum ingots, long considered a mysterious metal, is  significant as “nothing similar has ever been found.” He added, “We knew orichalcum from ancient texts and a few ornamental objects.”

There's Something Very Bizarre About What Was Just Discovered.. (Secret Mystery On Mountain)

Image
 Apparently, a rare event occurred in California just two days ago—a tornado tore through a shopping center in Scott Valley, an unusual phenomenon for the region, as tornadoes are extremely uncommon in California. While this alone is a compelling story, it leads to something even more intriguing. The tornado not only caused damage to the shopping center but also led to the closure of a specific road: Mount Hermon Road. This detail caught attention, especially considering a recent unrelated event involving Mount Hermon. Just a week ago, news emerged of Israel taking control of Mount Hermon from Syria. The coincidence of these two events—one involving a rare tornado in California and the other a significant geopolitical development in the Middle East—adds a layer of curiosity to the story. It raises questions about the name connection and the unusual alignment of events occurring within such a short time frame.

Sen. Tom Cotton Presses Pentagon to Preserve Records on Border Wall Material Sales

Republican Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has sent a formal request to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding that the Department of Defense (DoD) preserve records related to the sale of unused border wall materials. Cotton’s letter comes amid growing scrutiny over the Biden administration's decision to auction off these materials at low prices, a move that has sparked political controversy ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s anticipated second term. Background on the Issue The Biden administration halted construction of the U.S. southern border wall upon taking office. Last year, Congress authorized the disposal of unused border wall materials under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . Since then, the administration has been selling the materials through auctions, often at significantly reduced prices. This decision has faced backlash from Republicans who view the sale as an attempt to undermine border security policies. Cotton’s Requests In his letter, Cotton urged...
