the sinjar mountains in northwestern iraq are an important place for the yazidi religion, in which god created the mountains with one mausoleum on each of their peaks so they would remain stable. historically, yazidi most likely fled to the mountains around the 13th century, as they faced massacre from atabeg badr al-din lu'lu' of mosul.
these mausoleums house the bodies of several important yazidi figures who lived in the 12th-14th centuries. unfortunately, several were destroyed by isis in the 2010s, but several others still remain.

It’s #WorldCoatiDay!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On top is the earliest known European image of this endemic American animal, from the Felix Platter (1536-1614) collection of drawings, originally owned by Conrad Gessner (1516-1565); it’s a color illustration of a coati sent by Antonio Musa Brassavola (1500-1555), who was a physician to popes and kings, and probably depicted an animal from one of his clients’ menageries (note collar!).
Below is the woodcut Illustration Gessner made from this model, which became the first published image of a coati when he added the animal to his Historiae animalium encyclopedia in the 1554 appendix. Although he called it “Mus Indicus,” we know from the original illustration it was in fact a South American Coati (Nasua nasua).

Unlike Gessner’s South American Coati, Ulisse Aldrovandi’s (1522-1605) woodcut illustration published in De quadrupedibus digitatis viviparis (1637) was modeled from an original illustration by Guiseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593) of a much rarer Mountain Coati (Nasuella spp., probably the Western Mountain Coati, N. olivacea) in a Habsburg court menagerie (c. last quarter 1500s).
