Exactly! Some genius people are doing a #doughdeckahedron bake off, making cake based replicas of this to prove the point! And annoy the weird gate keeping archaeological society who think this argument is acceptable!

Roman dodecahedron replica removed from eBay after complaint Archaeologists say the copy of the Roman artefact "ripped off" their work.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Member of local archaeological society who found this incredible artifact claims an eBay 3d replica is infringing on his/the arch socs intellectual property?
The audacity!Thought we lived in more open source democratic times!

Spotted these collections at Trinity Market, Hulls.
Teapots (on all three walls) ✅
Magnets ✅
Certificates ✅

Quite rare to see collections like these days.
Are we a more minimalist society?
Are all the collectors of tat dying out?
Do you collect anything?

Highlight of my week was heckling 'Rudston Monolith!' at Stewart Lee during his show in York.

It was shouted in context- he'd actually visited and knew it was the largest megalith in the UK and was clearly impressed by my enthusiasm for prehistoric monuments!

Archaeology degrees are useful!

Tranquility of a frozen lake, spoilt by spotting some children walking into the middle, fortunately they didn't plummet in to the freezing water.

Did make me feel we could use some public information films to stop kids risking things like this.

This was an entertaining easy watch. Really enjoyed being immersed in the world of the 1960s space race for a couple of hours. 🚀🌕👨‍🚀

Oldest Depiction Of The Sky Took Bronze Age Craftspeople Ten Forging Cycles To Create Whatever the Nebra Sky Disc was for, and however old it is, skilled metalworkers went to a great deal of effort to make it.

Great to have a bit more insight into how this was possibly created...one of the coolest artifacts ever imho. ⭐🌛

Highly recommend, excuse poor photos, but absolutely love their use of foliage from the grounds, great inspo. Especially using the flowerheads from the Lamb's ear plant.

Glad it's Friday- Thinking of the Disco stags from our local Stately home's Christmas display.

Fab thank you! Will have a rummage and see if I can find something suitable. ☺️

Getting used to using this app more frequently- What a joy to see people making time to create really interesting and beautiful advent calendars!
Definite incentive to visit #bluesky daily this month! 🌲🔔❤️

Beautiful video, and thank you, you've inspired me to make sure I've got a decent size dish for birds to bathe in, in addition to the deep wildlife pond.

🍂Super fun finish to #Nationaltreeweek at the library. Saturday Storytime and crafts. 🌳
Perfect morning of work for me, sharing my love of trees!

Afternoon at Sledmere's Christmas fair. Have to say after looking around busy stalls, it was such a tonic to walk around the grounds, visit the rare breeds farm and say hello to the animals. 😍

It really is one of the best nature books I've written, my only criticism is I wish it was longer. Hope you get to read it soon :)

If you find yourself stuck indoors this winter and inneed of feeling awe at nature, you need to escape into this book.
Such an enchanting and informative insight into the world of these mysterious creatures.

Thank you so much for putting this into words.
Think your book on the subject is going to be a really brain-affirming experience for us neurodivergents.Great to be alive in this time of unraveling the chaos of our brains- putting into some sort of symptomatic order, labelling is actually useful!

Thank you! It's a very tranquil scene. 😊

Amazing! I loved Bird Therapy so much, and since I read that, I've been diagnosed with ADHD.
Being in nature is always such a tonic for my racing mind, so calming but also so much to occupy my curiosity.

Can't wait to read. 🙌

Here in #Bridlington snow fell heavy on Wednesday, holding on until it eventually completely thawed yesterday. Chaos ensued, roads ungritted, gridlock, burst water mains in town centre, phones down. I enjoyed the beautiful icey calm amongst the chaos. #seaside #snow

🌳🍂 Library set up for #nationaltreeweek some saplings have come to live with us for the duration. Looking forward to our upcoming tree week storytimes, microscopy, craft and Lego sessions! 🌳🍂

If you'd like to help support the squirrels whilst buying yourself or someone else some beautiful decorations, I highly recommend this lovely Etsy seller who is donating all profits to Penrith and District Squirrel Group 🐿️

Penrith red squirrel group sees 'huge' increase in greys The group says the native red population is only just hanging on and could soon disappear.

www.bbc.com/news/article...

I was lucky enough to spot a red squirrel on my visit to Penrith in October, I cried as I don't recall ever having seen one in the wild before.

We so desperately need to protect our native species, wildlife charities are so poorly underfunded..... 1/2

Castle excavations a 'once in a lifetime' project - BBC News The Friends of Sheffield Castle group say they have waited almost a decade for the work to start.

Quite heartening to see investment going into a large scale excavation of Sheffield castle.

Lovely that the remains of the gatehouse are to become a feature within a public events space.

Scientists reveal secrets of world’s oldest uncracked egg Archaeologists scanned the 1,700-year-old egg discovered in a suspected Roman wishing well

Really eggciting archaeology! 1,700 years old, found in what is thought to be a wishing well. And still containing the yoke and white! 🤯

A walk today, a savoured escape from the responsibilities of Monday. Brief shelter in a church, respite from the wind. Snowdrops In the churchyard, too destabilised by the gusts to picture clearly. Inside, a candle, dressed in foliage and flowers.
In February the light lengthens, 2 minutes each day.

Tucked away just behind the chip shops, arcades and souvenirs on Scarborough Seafront you'll find this treasure.

Now a private residence, still full of intrigue...if only buildings could speak I'd love to hear it's stories.
