Is it really summer if you're not listening for *hours* to @paulmmcooper.com during a long drive to a place to walk, swim or just stare at animals & plants doing their thing, cooking, pausing the podcast in ten minutes intervals to discuss what you're discovering about the world? I DON'T THINK SO.

Some photos of our recent film shoot in Indonesia for our video for Episode 21, on the Empire of Majapahit. Really excited to share the results with you all when it's done! All reenactment footage we use is 100% real, with human actors and costumes, and always will be!

Yet another masterpiece (I have heard it on Patreon already). But hearing it once is never enough.

Very happy to say that I once again contributed some VO readings for this episode of Fall of Civilizations, and they had me *very* excited to listen to the full thing. This'll do perfectly for a long drive next weekend!

the emotional crux of the illiad is a broken old man begging the man who killed his son to let him bury the body. the odyssey is more than anything about a mans failure to really come home after war, despite the fact he won

yaoi gagarin@mel.bzky.team · 2w ago

the illiad/odyssey are great because theyre history's first piece of anti-war art twisted by idiots into an uncritical endorsement of war

Saw a Roman aqueduct today..was quite impressed 😮😉 The astonishing C1st AD Pont du Gard in Provence, built to provide Roman Nimes with water as part of a 30 mile network. No mortar used - and still standing 1900 years later Incredible engineering 📷 My own, today

This is Minoan clay model of a house. Initially thought to be a child’s toy, it’s now seen as a construction model for a real house. Its architectural motifs are typical for the middle Minoan period when the palace complexes were at their height. 🕰️1,900-1,700 BC 🏛️📷 Heraklion Archaeological Museum

A lovely ancient etymology is that Akkadian had the word unnedukku for 'letter' (the kind you send), borrowed from Sumerian – not a Sumerian word, but rather a phrase meaning 'may you say to them'. It was a common initial request to a fellow scribe, for them to read out the letter to its recipient.

Reasons recorded for worker absence on this 3,250 year-old ancient Egyptian attendance register include ‘brewing beer’🍺 ‘stung by a scorpion’ 🦂 and ‘embalming brother’! 🤯 From Deir el-Medina, royal tomb worker’s village 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a dark beige coloured fragment of limestone measuring 38.5 cm in height and 33 cm max width, from Deir el- Medina, the royal tomb worker’s village, near ancient Thebes, Egypt. The fragment of limestone, known as an ostracon, was used as a cheap alternative material to papyrus, to record the attendance of 40 workers over a period of 280 days. The lines of text are written in hieratic script. Names and dates are written in black pigment, with reasons for absence written in red pigment
