minus-square@apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•4 months agoSome vacuum packs to seal and save silphium from extinction.
minus-square@hungryphroglink5•edit-24 months agoI have heard that they have actually found silphium somewhere in Turkey (?) pretty recently! I’m not fully sure of this tho.
minus-square@RedAggroBest@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink7•4 months agoThey made a guess that a plant native to Turkey was a good candidate, but it’s too far from Cyrene (most major exporter) to establish anything. Archeologists would basically need to find samples to confirm it’s identity.
