🚨IOF STEALING HERITAGE
The IOF stormed the town of Al-Maza'a Al-Sharqiyah in the West Bank and stole an ancient column from it!
Does the leadership of @asor-research.bsky.social - who had no problem hosting and partying with many 🇮🇱 archaeologists at their congress 2 weeks ago - have anything to say?

Thinking of studying for a PhD? I'd be happy to hear from anyone considering research into British or Irish prehistory, monuments, radiocarbon dating, heritage. Part-time, distance options. There are funding schemes here at @uniofexeterhass.bsky.social - but be quick, deadlines are in Jan/Feb!

A graphic featuring a black ink illustration of a falcon with his wings partly open. Title: “Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza giving circle". Text: We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep tehir families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. More than ever, they need our sustainable support. Click weekly to join: https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.”

Exactly seven months ago, we started this giving circle with seven friends in Gaza—six families, a team helping fifteen more, and the idea of sustained survival support that protects their dignity.

I… was not aware we were facing a new despair, actually. Fingers crossed that the virus succumbs to the power of Christmas carols!

Ähem. Tatsächlich. Aus Versehen neue Wortschöpfung.

Mir ist es talcuming bereits vor zwei Wochen passiert. 😅

How I instantly feel triggered by sentences starting with „Actually,…“

I feel you, sorrowful dog of Arae Flaviae.
Almost one year I saw this depressive good boy at Hidden Länd exhibition in Stuttgart. 🏺

Re: gen- #AI, I don't actually know if I've ever seen an accurate archaeological image made this way that wasn't the work of many hours to remove all the errors/misrepresentations, or so impressionistic that it doesn't communicate anything except 'vibes'.

@manigarm.bsky.social might be able to help?

I feel that so very much.

Cover of Abusing Antiquity? volume showing Athena (?) portrayed in the style of Attic red-figure painting holding a sign that says "you will not replace our Classics" and a shield with Pepe the frog on it.

A drawing carved into limestone showing presumably a building with three portals built by large stone slabs covered by horizontal slaps creating a roof.

A very small model of an oval carved building with a stone slab portal, and lines suggesting presumably a building made from stones. The roof is only slightly curved upwards.

Re:the last image: did you know that those structures have been roofed originally? In Gigantjia the gradient in the walls is very prominent. In the temple of Mnejdra an image of a roofed building is carved into the limestone, and a small stone model of a roofed temple was found in the Mgarr area.

A structure build from roughly worked stone slabs several meters high standing in an agricultural landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky. There is a walkway in the foreground and the sea visible in the far back several kilometres away.

An information display by Heritage Malta held in red and white with three horizontal sections, first text in Maltese, then two images: the left one showing a photo of a niche with an half round layout made by a wall of rough smaller stones, flanked by two large megalithic stealae and with a raised floor. On the right side a drawing of the layout of the whole side, consisting of two different alignment of rooms, both consisting of a clover shaped room connected to an oval second ante room. Text below in English says: in front of you a little raised floor separates the room from the rest of the area creating a distinct space. Early records suggests that here considerable quantities of pottery shirts and animal burns were found in a layer of soil and ash. Could this mean that animals or meat were used in rituals? To your left a table like arrangement of large stone blocks, possibly an altar, decorates a central niche.

In a wall constructed by roughly worked, smaller cal sit stones, one deliberately more yellow coloured sandstone on the lowest level stands out. In front of it, too small upright standing stones seem to flank it. Another explanationary display as possible in the front of it.

Image of the central structure from outside. The construction made from large, car seat slaps is clearly visible, and the upper layers are showing a slight bent that implies a narrowing of the row of stones to create a ceiling construction. A man is standing in the foreground, acting as a scale. The structure is visibly more than double his height.

I promised more photos from our vacation to Malta, so for #StandingStoneSunday today: we did a short trip to Gozo to visit Gigantjia. The best known megalithic structure on the smaller island, it’s also the one on the archipelago who is preserved with the highest walls (husband for scale). 🏺

Photo of Philipp Scheidemann proclaiming the Republic from a window of the Reichstag building on 9 November 1918.

Photo of Munich's Marienplatz during the failed Beer Hall Putsch: In the foreground to the right men in Stahlhelm and Swastika brassard on a small truck.

Photo showing the interior view of the destroyed synagogue in Berlin's Fasanenstrasse following the pogrom in November 1938.

Photo of a lot of people standing in front and atop the Berlin Wall. Prominently in the close background: the Brandenburg Gate.

Remember, remember the 9th of November. #OnThisDay in German #history🗃️:

1918: Kaiser dethroned, #WeimarRepublic proclaimed.

1923: Hitler's #BeerHallPutsch coup d'état in Munich fails.

1938: #Kristallnacht. Anti-Jewish Pogroms, synagogues burning.

1989: #BerlinWall falls.

Thanks for the offer, but we are just now back from Hagar Qim and Mnajdra.

Strictly no photo policy inside. But I will have some other nice ones here for sure!

We were successful! 💪

What we do for „the art“: got up at 5:50 to wait two hours in line for tickets for the Hypogeum. I tried to get some online ten weeks ago, and they have been sold out, so the pricey last minute ones are my only chance. Fingers crossed, I’m third in line already.

Surely do! It reminds me of the Italian aperitivo crodino, which is available at supermarkets in Germany. Maybe you can find that in your area, too?

It’s stunning! More images to come, especially after we visited some of the sites the next days.

A comic with two panels. The first shows a human with a cart standing inbetween cart lines. The second shows the same situation from above. The figure asks oh no, which way do I go now?

A one panel comic showing a metal and a pottery workshop. A young boy tells his father: Dad, I think I’d rather learn pottery than metal as a trade… there are two fire extinguisher under the image.

True comic side-by-side: the first shows a man with a schnauzer, glasses and a hat. He looks at a ceramic vessel, and says: his funerary urns, metal… at all indicates that this was a bronze age cemetery. The second comic has three panels : the first shows an adult from behind watching a child play. Second panel shows a broken ceramic pot. The third shows the angry face of the adult, saying that was your dad grandfather in the urn. Now what are we going to bury?

A three panel comic, showing in the first image the bird view of a settlement, as well as a person standing on a path leading towards a fortified settlement with a wall made from rough stone. The Second Image shows two people standing in between circular huts. The third image shows several people digging out pits on a plane.

I‘m currently on a short vacation in Malta, and we visited the National Museum of Archaeology today. While the exhibition about the Neolithic temples is the star of the show, I also loved the comics contextualising the later periods presentation. 🏺

There is no ceasefire.
There never was.

Dear bubble, please help me out: I’m searching literature about the exhibition and handling of of human remains in museum contexts under religious and/or cultural settings of Islamic beliefs. Can someone point me towards relevant publications?

After 7 paragraphs musing about potential Hamas 'ceasefire violations' like 'not finding bodies under all the rubble quickly enough' we get a casual mention that the IDF has killed 38 people in paragraph 8
