It’s a harder question than you think! New archaeology research suggests it was earlier than previously believed, pushing the domestication of dogs back to which date?
As Welsh privateer Henry Morgan approached the San Lorenzo Fort at the mouth of Panama’s Chagres River in 1671, several of his ships wrecked against the Lajas Reef, including Morgan’s flagship Satisfaction. Morgan’s ships ran afoul of a shallow reef and rough waves, on the way to raid Panama City in response to a Spanish attack on English Jamaica. Recently six cannons from one of those shipwrecks were raised.
Well, we are pretty sure that’s what was raised. The wreck was a violent one, strewing iron cannon debris across the reef. That matches with the rough seas we know Morgan’s ships were dealing with. And the varied weaponry found also points to pirates. Pirates used whatever weapons they could purchase or capture, and therefore would have had mismatches, unlike the standardized armory in any royal navy ship.

Tannit – or Tannou or Tangou or Tinnit – was the main maternal goddess of Carthage alongside her consort Ba`al Hammon. She was the goddess of war, of mothers, and to a lesser extent of fertility. She remained popular even after the fall of Carthage. She was first venerated in North Africa under the Latin name of Juno Caelestis, the romanized version of the goddess. Outside the sphere of Roman influence, the Berber peoples of North Africa adopted her cult under her original Carthaginian name. In modern-day Tunisian Arabic, it is still customary to invoke “Omek Tannou” or “Oumouk Tangou” (Mother Tannou or Tangou depending on the region), in years of drought to bring rain.
