Im on Polyphemus’ side of this being a hint toward an update on POIs. More specifically the ruins. Which makes sense because they haven’t been updated in YEARS and its likely a feature in LNF so I can see them working on that now. But i’d like to add that the ruins we currently have do not have much variety so I can see them adding much wider variety and larger in size too with an updated look and an indiana-jones style armor set to accompany an expedition. ---

Some big spoilers since HG pushed the start date for the next expedition to the server: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/9/2/92a2af7f044c9868ad34f03da825373d5390139f.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/a/c/acbe2bb194eaf5426e4b305847ac01ea5e19958a.png) Going by the trend of Content Update + Expedition patches having expeditions start much later compared to the update release, and expedition only patches having the expedition start a few hours after the drop (like Adrift), I have a good feeling 🏺 is mostly just an expedtion, maybe one leading into Worlds Part II. Edit: As expected, the game’s on sale on steam now too: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/2/6/261f7e5eea791116a43cf3f7c464f5d5b8d7c93c.png) ---

As a few others have noted, The vase is a greek amphora used to story wine, oil, water, human reamains, etc. It is referenced in the Greek story of Ganymede who poured out a flood from an Amphora upon his father’s horse farm : [https://www.dltk-teach.com/fairy-tales/aquarius/story.htm](https://www.dltk-teach.com/fairy-tales/aquarius/story.htm) Since there is a lot of references to Greek mythology already in NMS, I’m going with deep oceans because of this.

It seems we went in similar directions speculating on this. 🙂 Knowing that particular type of vessel is a Greek amphora, I wonder if perhaps this is a hint at some new competitive element being introduced (starship racing, claimable space stations, etc), since special amphorae were apparently awarded as prizes for festival games 🤔 > **[Panathenaic amphora](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panathenaic_amphora)** > > Panathenaic amphorae were the amphorae, large ceramic vessels, that contained the olive oil given as a prize in the Panathenaic Games. Some were ten imperial gallons (12 US gal; 45 L) and 60–70 cm (24–28 in) high. This oil came from the sacred grove of Athena at Akademia. The amphorae which held it had the distinctive form of tight handles, narrow neck and feet, and they were decorated with consistent symbols, in a standard form using the black figure technique, and continued to be so, long after... ---

Or perhaps SM cropped it and the zoomed in view is what enlarged the artifacting. It is still there in this image but very faint. That area looks very much like the kind of glitches you see on the Switch and Abella plays on Switch…looking Not Abella > ---
