Mediterranean and the Evolution of Sea Trade: Pirates and the Sea Treasures





Inevitably trade business across borders are the major survival for economic and military survival in an empire long time ago in the Kingdoms of the Mediterranean and until today in our modern civilization.  Transportation which is the most important part in trading needs a more fast and accurate machine and technology to transport the goods across borders. Indeed, Sea transportation using galleon ships is the most used mode of transportation to transfer heavy goods from one empire to another.  But during this time not only trade is maximizing the sea transport but also the military specifically the navy is advancing their tactical expertise and technology to guard the seas from pirates granting that wealth and business resources starts to travel by sea.  Come to think of it that business logistics is only by sea.  The technology of air transport is not in that era yet.  Therefore, many pirates along the coast line are trying to advance and assault the many business galleon traveling from Europe to the Mediterranean and beyond Asia.  


Traders themselves are also traveling with them the military cannons and guns to protect themselves against the might of the many Pirates along the Mediterranean.  Not only in the seas of the Atlantis and the Mediterranean but also in the seas of Caribbean that is why the famous legend of  “ Captain Jack Sparrow” is so famous today.  Most of the pirates are getting the wealth of England being transported around the world.  Of course England must transport wealth to advance their political influence across the globe.  







The Royal Navy of England during the time of Jack Sparrow is advancing their tactical support in the Caribbean area of responsibility to defend the many traders passing to the seas of the Caribbean area.  Same is true with the Mediterranean area of seas.  There is one time that the seas of the Mediterranean became a dry land that according to the record the sea water from the Atlantis became the source of sea water to replace the dry seas of the Mediterranean.  Do you think the buried city of the Atlantis is true? The legend that portrays the perfect humans in the city of Atlantis that is being buried by the seas and time long time ago.   We can also wonder in our intuition that maybe long time ago in the Mediterranean seas cities are built in small islands maybe but due to sea water inundation the small island cities maybe are covered with water.  Less we forget that land areas located by old maps long time ago are not the same of today.  

For example, many islands before are smaller but due to high technology and engineering people can extend their lands with new reclaimed sites for business areas. Thus many new cities like hong kong and Singapore can extend their land area using high technology engineering.  But during the time of the Mediterranean era natural phenomenon changes the land mass and shape of the empires surrounding the Mediterranean seas. Note that civilization at that time is in the area of the Mediterranean.  Many of the wealth and gold are in the area of Mediterranean buried through time.







TREASURE OF PRIAM

The treasure of Priam was discovered by Schliemann the long disappearance of this treasure within Soviet vaults has deprived scholars of the opportunity to make sense of what sometimes seems to be a contrived creation of Schliemann himself. Schliemann gathered together what he found in several hoards, one of which he characterized as the “Great Treasure”, attributing it to a siege which (if it ever occurred) took place a millennium later.  Many of the stories regarding treasures and treasure hunting during the time of the Mediterranean are left buried in the history of the seas of the great Mediterranean seas.  Similarly, pottery to that made in Troy has been found around the shores of the Aegean and Anatolia, and the easy assumption is that these items were exported from Troy, though it is more likely that the style of pottery reflected a common culture of which Troy was one part.  The copper and Bronze in 3000BC-1500BC are the main source of common metal used for basic armory in the military and the navy.  

Moreover, the Cyclades became the home of a rich lively culture, beginning in the Bronze Age (roughly 3000 BC onwards) The main islands were by now all populated; villages such as Phylakopi on Melos were thriving; on several islands small villages developed out of an original core of a couple of small homesteads.  The obsidian quarries were still visited, and copper was available in the western Cyclades, whence reach crete; Cycladic products continued to flow outwards to southern Aegean. Thus, during the time of the golden age of trade in the seas of the Mediterranean the organizations of the Pirates in the near by islands are developing and advancing their weaponry.  In the years around 1500BC Crete experienced not just massive economic changes but very significant political changes. The arrival of a Greek dynasty on the island occurred around the time that many settlements such as Arkhanes were abandoned; Knossos alone survived among the great palaces, and one Minoan site after another was destroyed.  With the many concrete evidence that tribes and kingdoms along the seas of the Mediterranean seas are in a conflict politically and with relative to economic sanction and via military and navy command it is evident that piracy is as well present in the area to bury the stolen treasures from the kingdoms and empires along the Mediterranean seas.  Thus the the “Catalogue of Ships” by Homer is famous in an archaic text incorporated in the Iliad.  The legend of the God of the Sea by the name of Poseidon is always a God to worship in the times of trade and piracy in the seas of the Mediterranean and  the world.  While trade was beginning to transform the character of the eastern Mediterranean, it was warfare that would alter it decisively, to the detriment of trade and high culture of these lands, ushering in a long season change. 

Even during the time of the Mediterranean era up to the time today piracy is still part of the trading system of international trade or what we call world trade.  Piracy further transform its form when technology and the type of trading and exchange of economic goods changes adjacent to the technologies we have today.  Piracy today is not only in the sea but also inside the wider sea of the internet. The dark web for example is the sea of treasures that is being  used to bury the treasures in the high technology online sea of data.  Major kinds of treasures hidden in the cloud today are the vital informations that are transmitted online by major banks of the world that are transacting business online.  Stock Market for example are so dependent with the internet to transfer financial data and wealth across the internet. Furthermore, the use of Bitcoin allow the online web pirates to grasp the many online web transactions using the currency of Bitcoin.  

From then and now how can we eliminate the piracy that continuously hindering the operation of our good governance of today.  Do you think that there are more illegal transactions than legal transactions that is going on in and out of the many countries like the Mediterranean long time ago? Come to think of it that during the piracy of the Mediterranean era the antagonist of the empires along the Mediterranean shore lines are also the outcast and the discontented high ranking individual who are trying to seek revenge from their empire of origin.  Classified informations are being transferred from one empire to another using their spies and commissars.  

Indeed, conflict among empires in the Mediterranean intensify as the wealth of the many empires are starting to be traded and exchanged in return for a greater good.  But at the same time pirates are getting much of the kingdoms wealth more than any other organization in the sea.  That is why during the time when England started to set sail together with the strong navy of Spain and with the strong conquistador traveling around the world not only in the Mediterranean but also in the Caribbean islands and the Indian Ocean the tale of the sea is ever rich until today.  We hear tales both good and interesting but the tale of the sea will never end so with the piracy that are stealthy until today in the coastline of the many kingdoms and countries around Asia and the Mediterranean. Beware, fugitives can be pirates and pirates can be heroes like “Captain Jack Sparrow”.
