Archaeologists have unveiled the secrets of two impeccably preserved 1,300-year-old temples along the Krishna River in southern India.
This cosmopolitan blend of Dravidian, Nagara, and Vesara traditions, are testament to the Badami Chalukya era. The Badami Chalukya dynasty's legacy was a period of architectural brilliance and cultural flourishing, showcasing a unique blend of Kadamba nagara and Rekha nagara architectural styles.
From the breathtaking cave temples at Badami to the mysteries of 'Gandaloranru' and a 350-year-old inscription at Mudimanikyam's Rama temple, this discovery is a true marvel. The inscriptions unveil a wealth of information regarding donations, originating from diverse locations such as Andhra Pradesh and Warangal. Evidently, the temple served as a central hub, attracting contributions from a wide array of people, transcending geographical and religious boundaries in southern India. The Badami Chalukya dynasty's architectural wonders stand testament to a golden era.
📍 CHULLPAS DE PUNO | Regarding these chullpas, Tschudi and Rivero (1851) mention: "The chullpas seen over the hill that bathes the small lagoon of Clustoni in the department of Puno, offer a particular construction, and we do not know if e Stas were rooms, or served for keep the grains and potatoes, or maybe from the graves [...]. []. “All we have examined are coated with limestone, sandy, and with pieces of mycacean sheath, with their windows half-high and split in half with breaded slabs inside, and covered with straw, or chunks of stones.”

Sitis looks disbelieving as she says, "…No. God wouldn't!" Crowley gives an exaggerated frown and replies, "Are you sure?"
Sitis looks horrified and says, "But they've done nothing! They're innocent!" Crowley nods impassively: "So were the goats." Sitis stares at him in horror.
In the cellar, Aziraphale looks back over his shoulder, seeming offended. "God's [side], of course!" Crowley reclines, raising his eyebrows and nodding. "Oh, really. Same God that wants me to whack the kids?"
Aziraphale looks very uncertain, and slowly says, "…Yes. But…" Crowley grins slowly, gesturing to Aziraphale and saying, "That's just how it started for me."
Back in the house, Sitis looks devastated and desperate. "If my children are dead, then… I will curse God, and—"
Crowley swings abruptly around the doorframe and rushes over to interrupt Sitis. "WHOA! That never ends well."
At the cliff's edge overlooking the sea, Aziraphale looks on the verge of tears but determined. "Well. I'm ready to go." Crowley asks: "Go where?" Aziraphale swallows. "To hell."
Crowley sits down on the rock and says, "I'm not taking you to hell, Angel." Aziraphale looks over at him, his tearful expression turning confused. "Why not?" Crowley replies mildly, "Well, I don't think you'd like it."
Petra is one of the most inspiring archaeological sites in the world. Its stunning stone monuments and hand carved buildings are a window into Nabataean culture.
So please keep that, cuz I am so tired of saving you from yourself. I can't anymore. So do not forget that there is some reward at the end of this. - c3e65
I finally have some free time to draw sketches and tell you about my headcannons with (young) Harvey and Dr. Stone!! 💥💥
The first headcanon: Harvey really likes to touch Stone's funny sticking-out hair with his antennae (I have no idea what to call it lol). OF COURSE, Dr. Stone gets angry, and Harvey just giggles and watches him—
The second headcanon: I thought it would be funny if Dr. Stone had (and maybe still has) a secret hobby of collecting minerals and stones. it's pretty funny that a sullen and angry dude collects and examines all sorts of stones, and then writes something in his book, muttering something under his nose. if Harvey somehow found out about his husband's hobby, he could throw him beautiful stones while he was going somewhere.
The third headcanon: Harvey loves hugging Dr. Stone very much, when he does this, this old fart immediately starts to get angry and swear, but after 15-20 minutes calms down and falls asleep. maybe Harvey does this on purpose so that his husband at least sometimes gets a full sleep
