“Lost Treasures Beneath the Waves: What Secrets Lurk in Turkey’s Enigmatic Ancient Lake?”
He states that “We think that it was a typical offering made in the hope that the gods could help those who buried the treasure through a difficult time. And we know that it dates to the 6th century.”
What Was The Offering For?
Given the time period of the treasure found, it is believed that the possible offering may have been a result of the El Salvador volcano eruption that occurred around the same time. Still, researchers aren’t entirely sure.
Phys.org writes, “Was it intended to appease angry gods and end the poor summers and dark skies following the El Salvador volcanic eruption? Or was it thanks to the ultimate collapse of the Western Roman Empire a few decades earlier, whereby the gold was brought to Denmark by returning ‘new rich’ aristocrats, who defined a new ritual practice and religion based on the Nordic Gods? We do not know.”
About The Volcano
Apparently, the eruption that the researcher was discussing was a volcano that erupted in El Salvador which killed over an estimated 100,000 people immediately and displaced more than 400,000 more.
The event of the volcano’s eruption was so massive that not only El Salvador was affected but areas throughout the entire world. The impacts from the volcano would also be felt for years after the initial eruption of the mega-volcano.
