Long-Lost Myrrh Species Resurrected from 1,000-Year-Old Seed​

Morphological features of Sheba at different ages: (a) ancient seed prior to planting; (b) developing seed at 5 weeks showing epicotyl and developing cotyledons covered by seed coat; (c) seedling, 6 months; (d) peeling bark, 12 years; (e) leaves showing fine hairs, 12 years; (f) mature tree, 12 years. Image credit: Guy Eisner / Elaine Solowey / Sallon et al., doi: 10.1038/s42003-024-06721-5.
The well preserved ancient seed of unknown identity was recovered during archaeological excavations of a natural cave in Lower Wadi el-Makkuk carried out from 1986 to 1989.

Radiocarbon dated to 993-1202 CE, the seed was about 1.8 cm (0.7 inches) in length and weighed 0.565 g. https://www.sci.news/biology/long-lost-myrrh-species-13328.html View attachment 19081171

😳.. back in the village I suffered through some sheer, utter hell at the farm. I’ve been in the habit of taking cookie on the new trails. She seems fine without the leash today she took off after a deer she didn’t come back. I was shouting at the top of my lungs, as the panic was rising, it took her an hour before she returned by then I was in a deep, deep panic. I’m so mad at her.
