Cefn Clawdd Bronze Age Settlement, Trawsfynydd, Wales

A first visit for me to this BIG Bronze Age settlement and enclosure site. A combination of hut circles and farming walls can be seen across the landscape. There is also a lot of white quartz lying around.

An impressive Teotihuacan village dating back to 450-650 AD has been found in Mexico City.  The find reveals a thriving artisan community and crucial connections with other Teotihuacán centers, all within the stunning setting of 'chinampería' spaces.

you’re thinking about how easily massive numbers of the wildly antisemitic tankies would have been pulled into the actual political tenets of (esp early to mid 20th century) armed Zionism and you’re laughing?????

#This folks is why analysis of ideology and the structures of an ideology is important #Rather than just random ass ethnic signposting #A lot of people see Zionism as something suspicious and jewy that had to do with Jews - I don’t like them #But the reality of Zionism as an initially distinctly leftist branch of political ideology that sought to liberate an oppressed people #With that tiny niggly wiggly issue of the fact people might #Already have lived on that land???? Ohhhh boy #All these cottage core back to the land the world would be better if I could reject modernity and return to the ancient ways of Farming #Society is broken it cannot be fixed the only option is to found a New Tough society that will fix all our previous problems #And we’ll get round to it in heavily armed leftist commune farming settlements #Which we will defend with violence because any violence in the name of an oppressed people is justified and our legitimacy comes from the #Rifle!!! #The only reason you see this ideology as inherently removed and bizarre is antisemitism and the only reason you see yourself removed from i #Also antisemitism!!! #You would have done numbers in ahdut ha-avoda you would have called Ben gurion abbaleh/ #Remember: a bunch of the people who got sucked into this of ideology weren’t the *rich Republican aipac Jews*!*’ your head #They were broke often very secular Jewish leftists working dead end gig economy jobs in farms and sweatshops for whom the idea of a Brave #New World with a. Brave new culture was very appealing and liberating #It offered something new to the broken. #It’s important to talk about this stuff to talk about how it can be undone #But also. The world is not divided into the Oppressed and the Unoppressed #Your political ideology does not stop you from hurting others #No political ideology even anti capitalism or leftism is innately pure- all can harm others #No ethnic and cultural identity no matter how oppressed is free from the potential to subjugate others #No identity or ideology is greater than the right of other people to live freely #Cycles of oppression and the pyramid structure of many empires result in oppressed people harming other oppressed people #Many many goyim think that they’re removed from the logic of Zionism because they aren’t Jews because it’s something wierd and jewy #But I see a lot of the most destructive logics parroted by leftists every day

Raja Shehadeh, from the chapter "The Pale God of the Hills: Ramallah to Harrasha," in "Palestinian Walks: Notes On A Vanishing Landscape."

"Sometimes when I wake up early and look from my house at the hills, I imagine Abu Ameen standing in the morning on the roof of his qasr deep in the hills. He is drowned in the mist which has filled the valley and obliterated the folds of the hills, smoothing them out. Around him I can see how it has settled in every nook and crevice of the valley, creating numerous steamy lakes in the dry, baked hills. He remains standing in this transformed landscape, following the sun's ascent in the sky, observing it suck up the mist, empty the nocturnal lakes and return the undulating hills to their usual parched state.

If someone were looking for Abu Ameen from afar he would not at first be able to make him out. Then as the mist began to lift and the sun grew stronger, a luminous figure would start to emerge. The wisps of vapour surrounding him would light up with the sun. Iridescent sparks would illuminate his body, giving him wings with which he could soar over the valleys, an ephemeral figure like a wild fowl or a pale god of the hills.

I have often wondered about Abu Ameen as I stand in the early morning looking over the countryside. What would he have said had he seen the state it was now in? Would his spirit be brimming with anger at all of us for allowing them to be destroyed and usurped, or would he just be enjoying one extended sarha as his spirit roamed freely over the land, without borders as it had once been?"

#abu ameen was the uncle to shehadeh #a stonemason whose descendents for hundreds and hundreds of years have toiled and cultivated and loved the earth of Ramallah #his sons emigrated to kuwait the gulf and the us and never returned #only shehadeh and his brother and their family remain as part of that ancient lineage #in ramallah and he describes the zionist settlements destroying so much of the environment #from my book collection #personal readings #palestine #raja shehadeh

finished all canon holmes and it's very easy to conclude that to date absolutely no adaptation came close to replicating the vibe of the stories

#especially not granada no #thats the version to watch if you want to enjoy some uncalled unwarranted changes to the story #no wonder brett hissed and pissed at the show execs #if these people created the last vampyre i cant even imagine what they wanted to do with the character of holmes #basically from my observations there are many vibes created by all adaptations but none come close to canon #i think canon sometimes is like 70% atmosphere #if that shit isnt filmed full wide-screen where a person occupies no more than 30% of the shot it's not legit #<= me in denial that behind all those flowery descriptions there's just the victorian era stiffness of everyone involved? shut uppppp #im not in denial at alllllll make the sun the rain the mud the snow the ancient english settlements the moody houses their own characters #and thats where the real vibe of the stories comes through

Ukrainian Troops Uncover Ancient Roman settlement in Kherson Oblast

While conducting defensive earthworks on the banks of Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast, Ukrainian border guards have uncovered remnants of an ancient Roman settlement, Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service said in a message on its website on Dec. 20.

“In Kherson Oblast, while fortifying the bank of Dnipro (River), border guards came across the remains of an ancient Roman settlement,” the message says.

“About one meter deep, fragments of amphoras and clay jars started to appear.”

The servicemen reported their find to local archaeologists. No further engineering work was done at the site, in order to preserve the valuable artefacts.

“After the victory, an archaeological expedition will begin work here,” the message added.

In Siberia, a cluster of houses protected by trenches, earthen banks, and wooden stakes. These types of defensive fortifications are usually associated with agricultural societies but these date to the stone age which has surprised archeologists since it was first carbon dated.

Question: do you think Akrotiri used Cycladic architecture, or did the styles change over thousands of years?

If you mean whether Akrotiri's settlement had a similar architecture to the modern Cycladic one, almost certainly not. The modern Cycladic architecture has probably evolved from the late Byzantine times onward, at most. Then again, it certainly maintains an archaic (but also medieval) philosophy: minimal, small houses concentrated in hills, often far from the sea and overlooking it, close to fortresses. Protection from pirates. This was the structure of Ancient Cycladic towns and Mycenaean towns later (but not of the Minoan ones). But it's very unlikely that the houses looked like the "sugar cubes" we know today.

If you mean whether Akrotiri's settlement had a typical ancient Cycladic architecture, that's harder to tell for sure but Akrotiri in specific had a lot of influence from Minoan Crete (trade and settlers) and this is evident in the surviving ruins and art. I'd say Akrotiri looked like a Minoan town more than anything else.
