										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A marine archaeologist has hypothesized that King Solomon, a wealthy king of Israel, financed Phoenician mining expeditions to Spain.</strong><br />
<span id="more-12777"></span> Sean Kingsley, director of consulting firm Wreck Watch, posted this hypothesis in Wreckwatch Journal, a publication in which he made some arguments in support of the idea.</p>
<p> His arguments include Phoenician mining activities along rivers, Biblical names in mining-related areas, to passages in the Hebrew Scriptures that seem to be related. to King Solomon and the seafaring Phoenicians, a potential Spanish city famous for its rich mineral wealth in the Hebrew Bible. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_06_20_38744656/7065e74dc40f2d51741e.jpg" width="625" height="756"> <em> King Salomon, a rich king according to the Hebrew Scriptures.</em> If this claim is true, it means King Solomon was an ancient shipping tycoon. The Hebrew Bible says that King Salomon was extremely rich and undertook many construction projects and his role in transportation could explain his wealth. <strong> Arguments for the Solomon&#8217;s mining expeditions</strong> The Phoenicians flourished throughout the Mediterranean world from about 1,500 BC to 300 BC. According to present-day Lebanon, they sailed across the Mediterranean, establishing settlements and trading networks as far back as Portugal. Kingsley started his research about 10 years ago. It seemed that King Salomon had been wise in his maritime plans, he noticed. He recorded the trips from Jerusalem and the Phoenician sailors took all risks at sea. Archaeological excavations over the past century have unearthed remains of Phenicia mining operations near the Rio Tinto River in southwest Spain, he said. Some places today along the river of Spain have biblical names &#8211; such as &#8220;Solomon&#8217;s Hill&#8221;, says Kingsley. Furthermore, he claims, silver artifacts found in Israel contain lead isotope patterns suggesting that silver came from Spain. However, researchers have done the analysis that silver from Spain did not come to Israel during King Solomon&#8217;s time, but after he ruled. Then there is a Hebrew Bible, which describes how David and his son Solomon took raw materials for construction projects from a man named Hiram, the king of a Phenicia city named Tire in present-day Lebanon. . Kingsley hypothesized that Hiram would send mining expeditions to Spain with the financial assistance of Solomon. Passages in the Hebrew Bible also mention a place called Tarshish, where the Bible says there are many minerals. This is also the place where Johna tried to run away when God told him to come to Nineveh, according to the Hebrew Bible. Tarshish claimed that Tarshish was located in what is now Spain and Solomon financed Phenicia&#8217;s travels to the area. Kingsley argued that passages in the Hebrew Bible discuss how Hiram provided materials for David and Solomon for their construction projects, giving the idea that Solomon had sponsored Phoenician journeys. . Confirming Tarshish&#8217;s place in the Bible, Kingsley notes that a Phoenician inscription, dating back to the ninth century BC and found in Sardinia, refers to a Phenicia military force fleeing to Tarshish. after a failure. Ancient Greek records also mention a city called Tartessos &#8211; sounding similar to Tarshish &#8211; thrived in southern Spain, Kingsley wrote in an article in Spain. From historical research, Kingsley said he could say that biblical landmarks (like the Solomon Hills) were in use since at least the 17th century and possibly much earlier. <strong> Skeptic scholars</strong> Some archaeologists and historians believe they were skeptical of Kingsley&#8217;s claims. While no one doubts that the Phoenicians were present in Spain, scholars note that there is no direct evidence regarding King Solomon to the region. &#8220;It&#8217;s still not clear that there is a Solomon kingdom,&#8221; said Steven Weitzman, director of the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Morphological Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know any evidence of an Israeli presence in Spain at this time,&#8221; Weitzman said. There are Phoenician settlements in Spain as early as around 1100 [trước Công nguyên] and certainly for many centuries to come, but it would be too much to argue that the source of Salomon&#8217;s wealth came from there. &#8221; In fact, the Bible says that King Salomon sent ships to the East, not to the West. Solomon&#8217;s ships were dispatched from a place called Ezion-Geber, a port town on the Red Sea, and they returned from a place called Ophir, filled with gold and other treasures. Wherever the Ophir was located, the ships Weitzman explained would go in the opposite direction from Spain, east not west. Archaeologists also rejected Kingsley&#8217;s arguments regarding silver artifacts found in Israel and Spain. &#8220;Based on all available scientific data, silver in the Solomon era,&#8221; said Ayelet Gilboa, professor of archeology at the University of Haifa, Israel. [thế kỷ 10 trước Công nguyên] not coming east from Iberia ”. Only after that, after King Salomon ruled, did silver from Spain begin to reach Israel. Gilboa worked with Tzilla Eshel, a researcher specializing in antique silver analysis at the University of Haifa, to determine the origin of ancient silver in Israel, and they published an article on this topic in 2019. that silver came from Sardinia to Israel in the 10th century BC but it was not until the ninth century BC that silver came from Spain.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The book &#8216;Sapiens &#8211; A History of Humankind&#8217; by Yuval Noah Harari (text version), read by many Vietnamese readers over the past time, was transferred by French comic artist David Vandermeulen and Belgian screenwriter Daniel Casanave. into a comic version to attract novice readers of science and history.</strong><br />
<span id="more-12523"></span> Vietnamese version of the comic series &#8220;Sapiens &#8211; History of humanity&#8221; has just been released by Omega + Book Company to Vietnamese readers. The booklet includes full-color illustrations and easy-to-understand text making the content of the work more appealing for readers of all ages, especially children 13 years and older. It is expected that the book includes 4 volumes based on 4 main parts of the original work. Episode 2 is also expected to premiere around the world this year.</p>
<p> Renowned French comic artist David Vandermeulen and Belgian screenwriter Daniel Casanave were the first to come up with the idea for the series, so they teamed up with Harari to create a series of graphic comics. . Author Yuval Noah Harari said: “Their creative talent allowed the three of us to tell human history from a whole new perspective &#8211; without them I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to. Their humor and intelligence have made the book a truly enjoyable experience ”. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_08_35_38768356/e166e14bfd0914574d18.jpg" width="625" height="416"> <em> The trend of graphicizing books is favored by many readers</em> In the series, Harari plays a narrator, along with her niece named Zoe. He tells stories, guides, and explains Zoe&#8217;s questions through the intricate pages of evolution and his theories about how an ape living on a secluded steppe has grown to be a species. dominate the globe. At the same time, he brought Zoe to meet real characters such as scientist professor Saraswati &#8211; biologist, professor Robin Dunbar &#8211; anthropologist, expert on human communication to bogus characters. Dr. fiction, Detective Lopez &#8230; to explain more thoroughly the evolution and development of our species. &#8220;Sapiens &#8211; human history&#8221; (text version) has more than 10 million readers and has been translated into 50 different languages. And Sapiens comic version has now been translated and released in more than 35 countries around the world. Harari also argues that it is imperative to pass the book&#8217;s message to more readers because we are living in a global era, you need to understand the big picture of history in order to really understand. my life. Also according to the author, most of the educational apparatus only teaches the history of the country, its own religion and culture. “I spent 12 years in school in Israel and never heard anything about Chinese history or what happened before Judaism. I never took a class that teaches about the agricultural revolution. So everyone needs to see the big picture and Sapiens can provide it in an interesting and accessible way ”- says author Harari. Volume one of the series focuses on the formation of the human race that dominates the Earth today, including 4 parts. Part 1 &#8211; The rebels on the grassland: the human race was originally just an ordinary animal like any other, and there have been many different human species in the evolutionary process. Part 2 &#8211; Fictional Masters: 70,000 years ago, Sapiens had a Cognitive Revolution. Humankind has left artificial works and achievements thanks to the cooperation on a large scale, through language communication and information exchange. Part 3 &#8211; Sex, lying and cave painting: tells about people&#8217;s life after the Cognitive Revolution and before the agricultural revolution. Sapiens groups are very different in social structure, family, and religious beliefs. Part 4 &#8211; Intercontinental killers: in the process of spreading across the globe, humans have caused many ecological disasters, making many native animals extinct. The author has raised a fictitious trial of the Sapiens species for this crime, and all humans share the common responsibility.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Cori hole on the Moon is named after the American scientist Gerty Theresa Cori (1896-1957). This is the co-discoverer of the &#8216;Cori cycle&#8217;, a discovery especially useful for the treatment of diabetes.</strong><br />
<span id="more-10389"></span> <strong> Leaving home to find the way to research</strong> </p>
<p> Mrs. Gerty Theresa Cori is an American Jewish biochemist. She and her husband, Carl Cori, began studying carbohydrate metabolism when they were medical students at the University of Prague. When Gerty was a child, her father had diabetes, he wished his daughter would find a way to cure the disease. Gerty did not disappoint dad. In 1947, after 30 years of hard work, she and her husband were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of glycogen transformation under the action of catalysts. Glycogen is a derivative of glucose that is dissolved and re-synthesized in the body for use as an energy source and storehouse. She was born in Prague in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (now the Czech Republic) into a Jewish family. She is the eldest of three daughters of the grandparents Martha and Otto Radnitz, the manager of a sugar mill. She received tutoring at home and then went to a girls&#8217; high school. Her uncle, a professor of pediatrics, encouraged her to pursue medicine and in 1914 she was admitted to Charles University in Prague. At that time, there were very few female students. While studying here, she met Carl Ferdinand Cori. Both have interests in laboratory research. The couple went home in 1920. That same year they got a Ph.D. in Medicine from the University of Prague. Both gave birth to a son. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_30_304_38682155/a45a369317d1fe8fa7c0.jpg" width="625" height="514"> <em> Mrs. Gerty Theresa Cori</em> Carl moves to Vienna where Gerty works in a children&#8217;s hospital and Carl works in a university laboratory. As a result of the war, food was scarce for the people of Europe at that time. Gerty was given supplements at the hospital, but she turned it down because she felt the patient needed them more. She contracted xerophthalmia, a disease related to a lack of vitamins. This combined with increased anti-Semitism caused the Cori family to decide to emigrate. Together they moved to the US and worked at the Roswell Park Cancer Research Institute in Buffalo, New York. After a long time together, they naturalized the United States in 1928 and continued their studies to serve mankind. The Cori and his wife published 50 essays together while working at the Roswell Institute. Those who do most of the research should put their names first (those who do less, put their names behind) in that essay. Mrs. Gerty has published 11 separate essays. In 1929, they both proposed a theory called &#8220;Cori cycle&#8221;, which explains the movement of energy in the body: From tissue, muscle to liver and back to tissue, muscle. The Cori cycle is the explanation for the movement of energy in the body. Glycogen in muscles is converted to sugar (glucose) when energy is needed to provide physical activity, but muscles leave some sugar in the form of lactic acid for later use. Lactic acid is recycled by the liver into glycogen, which is then stored in muscles until needed. Their discovery of this process is particularly useful for the treatment of diabetes but this is also the first time that the cycle of carbohydrates in the human body is fully understood and explained. This theory subsequently earned them the Nobel Prize for Medicine. <strong> Integrity, courage and professionalism</strong> She and her husband left the Roswell Institute after publishing research on carbohydrate metabolism. They have received numerous awards for their isolation and discovery of the compound glucose-1 phosphate (later known as the Cori ester). Many universities invited Mr. Carl to work but rejected Mrs. Gerty. In 1931 they moved to St. Louis, Missouri, where Carl was offered a job as professor of pharmacology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Although he specializes in research, Gerty is only invited to be a research assistant. In 1947, when Carl became Head of the Department of Biochemistry, Gety was promoted to professor, a position she assumed until her death. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_30_304_38682155/6236f6ffd7bd3ee367ac.jpg" width="625" height="504"> <em> The Cori couple in the laboratory at the University of Washington</em> In 1952, US President Harry S. Truman appointed her to the National Science Council. Dr. Gerty has received many honors and awards throughout his life, notably the Squibb Prize for Endocrinology in 1947; the National Journalism Prize for Women in 1948; National Academy of Sciences Sugar Research Prize 1950 &#8230; She received honorary degrees from the schools: Smith College, Yale University and the University of Rochester. In the summer of 1947, she began to feel symptoms of Myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow disease. For 10 years, she continued her work, endured pain and refused to stop working in the laboratory. On October 26, 1957, she died of kidney failure. Renowned announcer Edward R. Murrow has praised her dedication, wisdom, integrity, courage and professionalism in the pursuit of medicine and biochemistry. Her image was also honored to appear on US postage stamps in 2008. The Cori Hole on the Moon is named after her. She also shares a &#8220;star&#8221; with her husband on St. Avenue of Fame. Louis.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>According to a new study using artificial intelligence (AI) and statistics, a famous manuscript of the Dead Sea Scroll (translated as Dead Sea Scroll) is written. by just one but two people.</strong><br />
<span id="more-9192"></span> <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_22_20_38604321/1dcff7e8d2aa3bf462bb.jpg" width="625" height="351"> </p>
<p> <em> A manuscript of the &#8220;Dead Sea Scroll&#8221; is displayed in Hong Kong.</em> The analysis showed that the two scribes wrote in such a way that the difference between the two could not be seen with the naked eye, a detail that the note takers may have had the same training, yes can be at a school or in a social setting. &#8220;This is just the first step,&#8221; said lead investigator Mladen Popović, professor of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, said. new ability to study all of the scribes behind the &#8220;Dead Sea Scroll&#8221; and put us in a new position and better able to understand the manuscript collection. &#8221; The &#8220;Dead Sea Scroll&#8221; was first discovered in the late 1940s, when a young shepherd searching for a stray goat found several manuscripts in a cave in Qumran, on the West Bank. Over the next decade, researchers and local Bedouins found more than 900 manuscripts in 11 caves. These manuscripts are the oldest surviving surviving texts of the Hebrew Bible, dating from the fourth century BC to the second century AD, but who is unknown or even how much. many wrote them, because the scribes did not sign them. That doesn&#8217;t stop Bible scholars from guessing how many people participated in writing the various drafts of the Dead Sea Scroll. Researchers will try to find clues in handwriting, such as a very specific feature in a letter that will identify the scribe. Popović, director of the Qumran Institute at the University of Groningen and his colleagues used a different approach: AI and statistics to investigate the Great Isaiah Scroll, one of seven original scroll manuscripts found. by the shepherd Bedouin. The well-preserved scroll, dating to about 125 BC, is 7.3 m long and 26 cm high and contains 54 columns of Hebrew text. In particular, a point caught Popović&#8217;s eye; Between columns 27 and 28, there is a small gap in the text and a new &#8220;page&#8221; where the two sheets have been stitched together. Other researchers have debated whether the scroll was written by one or two scribes, and Popović&#8217;s team wants to see if they can solve the mystery. In fact, the team wanted to determine whether slight differences in writing should be considered normal variations in one scribe&#8217;s handwriting or similar scripts written by two other scribes. each other or not. The researchers&#8217; methods have uncovered subtle and nuanced differences in handwriting that we cannot discern with the naked eye, Popović said. The discovery of two collaborative notes in the Great Isaiah Scroll, he said, suggests that ancient scribes were working in groups. <strong> The ancients knew how to work in groups</strong> When designing the algorithm, researchers must train artificial intelligence to distinguish text, or ink, from the background &#8211; animal skin or papyrus. This difference, called binarization, was designed by co-researcher Maruf Dhali, a PhD student in the department of artificial intelligence at the University of Groningen, who created an artificial neural network. This neural network recorded early ink traces on the manuscript, even as these ancient letters were transformed into digital images. Senior researcher Lambert Schomaker, professor of computer science and artificial intelligence at the University of Groningen, said: “This is very important because ancient ink traces are directly related to the motor movement of one person and characterize each person ”. Neural network analysis revealed that 54 columns of text in the &#8220;Great Book of Isaiah&#8221; split into two separate groups, with a half-way transition in the manuscript. In this second analysis, Schomaker looked at small pieces, or sections of letters that would be more precise, distinctive, and informative to find a significant difference in shape compared to the symbols. full order. Next, the team performed a visual analysis by creating a &#8220;heat map&#8221;. These maps incorporate all variations of a given letter, such as the Hebrew letter aleph (א), found in the scroll. They then create an average version of the letter from the first 27 columns and another from the last 27 columns. They then compared these averaged letters and found that they could easily spot the difference between the two letters. Furthermore, the difference was statistically significant. Popović and his colleagues have other investigative plans, possibly revealing different backgrounds or training different scribes.
