@Telgraf__ Olumsuz örnekleri vardır ama şahsen birçok kez doktora gittiğimde kapıyı çalar, "Günaydın Hocam" diyerek içeriye girerim ve o seviyede diyalog devam eder. Sıra verecek görevliye de diğer görevlilere de bir günaydın ya da merhaba diyerek iletişime geçmek çok önemli.

@HistContent The original artefact is at the British Museum (1927,1214.1).

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

Double-Barreled Wheellock Pistol from Germany, 1540 CE: this is one of the world's oldest surviving pistols, and it's inscribed with the Latin phrase "plus ultra," meaning "further beyond"...

This extraordinary firearm dates from a period when the handheld gun was still cutting-edge technology.

The wheellock mechanism appeared in Europe in the early 1500s. Instead of requiring a burning match to ignite the gunpowder, it used a spring-loaded steel wheel spinning against pyrite to create sparks. It worked somewhat like the mechanism of a modern cigarette lighter.

That made wheellock firearms far more practical for cavalrymen, who could carry a loaded weapon without keeping a smoldering match burning.

This example was exceptionally elaborate. Its two barrels allowed its owner to fire twice before the lengthy process of reloading, while the intricate decoration suggests it was made for an extremely wealthy or powerful individual.

"Plus Ultra" was particularly significant. The phrase became the personal motto of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and eventually the national motto of Spain, symbolizing expansion "further beyond" the known world.

Wheellock pistols could cost several times as much as simpler firearms, making highly decorated examples like this as much displays of wealth and status as weapons.

I feel a sense of awe and wonder knowing I am among the first human beings in 2,000 years to read the contents of a scroll charred in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

For centuries, its contents were unreadable. The scrolls were damaged beyond repair. Ancient wisdom was in our hands, but cruelly inaccessible.

Until now.

Thanks to modern science and the brilliant work of the Vesuvius Challenge team, the contents of one of these ancient scrolls are available for us to read.

The text is fragmentary, partly due to previous attempts to open the scroll by hand. But enough has been recovered to identify it as a philosophical treatise, most likely Stoic.

Modern technology is allowing us to recover ancient wisdom for the first time in two millennia.

What a time to be alive.

One recovered fragment seems to capture the wonder of the accomplishment itself:

“Having certainly strained ourselves to the utmost through research and learning, we will no longer be inferior to them in any respect.”
