(CNN) — En la Edad de Hierro, los usuarios de dos antiguos retretes de Jerusalén no eran un grupo saludable, según un análisis de muestras de la materia fecal de las letrinas de 2.500 años de antigüedad.Los investigadores hallaron rastros de parásitos causantes de disentería en el material excavado en los pozos negros situados bajo los dos retretes de piedra que habrían pertenecido a hogares de la élite de la ciudad. Por aquel entonces, Jerusalén era un vibrante centro político y religioso del imperio asirio y en ella vivían entre 8.000 y 25.000 personas.Se trata de la primera prueba conocida de una enfermedad llamada Giardia duodenalis, aunque la infección, que causa diarrea, calambres abdominales y pérdida de peso, ya había sido identificada en la Turquía de la época romana y en el Israel medieval.“La disentería se propaga por las heces que contaminan el agua potable o los alimentos, y sospechábamos que podría haber sido un gran problema en las primeras ciudades del an...

Irán tiene una ruta directa para enviar armas a Rusia, y las potencias occidentales pueden hacer poco para detener los envíos

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:33:00 GMT

(CNN) — Las aguas del mar Caspio se ven engañosamente tranquilas. Pero esta ruta marítima —que proporciona una vía directa entre Irán y Rusia— está cada vez más transitada por el tráfico de mercancías, incluidas las presuntas transferencias de armas hechas por Teherán a Moscú.Según expertos, a medida que se intensifica la cooperación entre ambos países, la ruta del mar Caspio se está utilizando para trasladar drones, balas y granadas de mortero que el gobierno ruso ha comprado al régimen iraní para reforzar su esfuerzo bélico en Ucrania. Los datos de rastreo muestran que los buques de la región se vuelven cada vez más “oscuros”, lo que sugiere una creciente intención de ocultar el movimiento de mercancías.El año pasado, los datos de Lloyd’s List Intelligence revelaron un aumento en septiembre del número de lagunas en la información de seguimiento de buques en el Caspio. Eso ocurrió poco después de que los gobiernos de Estados Unidos y Ucrania afirmaran que Mo...
