I worked with an Egyptian fellow and after a bit when he said see you tomorrow I would say “inshallah”- and he’d say “and the creek don’t rise”, he got a huge kick out of it

So why is Darryl Cooper pushing some argument about the Russian revolution that is easily refutable? Moscow is a major city -- if the Bolsheviks were doing this, there would be a historical record. Well, there are his ties to the white nationalist movement... www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

How a Nazi-obsessed amateur historian went from obscurity to the top of Substack

Tucker Carlson has called Darryl Cooper the “most important popular historian working in the United States today.” His background is more extreme than previously reported.

Old gods and goddesses who have lived so long Through time and never found eternity, Fettered by wasting wood and hollowing hill, You should have fled our ever-dying song… —Edwin Muir, “To the Old Gods” 📷 Ballachulish Figure, c728–524 BCE #poem #poetry #archaeology www.nms.ac.uk/discover-cat...

To the Old Gods by Edwin Muir Old gods and goddesses who have lived so long Through time and never found eternity, Fettered by wasting wood and hollowing hill, You should have fled our ever-dying song, The mound, the well, and the green trysting tree. They have forgotten, yet you linger still. Goddess of caverned breast and channeled brow, And cheeks slow hollowed by millennial tears, Forests of autumn fading in your eyes, Eternity marvels at your counted years And kingdoms lost in time, and wonders how There could be thoughts so bountiful and wise As yours beneath the ever-breaking bough And vast compassion curving like the skies.An early Iron Age wooden carved figure of a woman or girl, standing in front of a wall of woven twigs and branches. The figure is blackened with age, and the wood has twisted and elongated due to the lack of proper preservation when it was discovered in a peatbog in 1880. Carved from a single block of alder, at the time of its discovery it stood 1.4 metres tall (just under 5 feet). The figure has a large, heavy head with inset quartz pebbles for eyes, large ears, a distinct nose and mouth and a round chin.

Who were the old Gods of the British Isles? What is the Pagan Calendar and how is modern Halloween derived from it? What can we learn from the mysterious ‘bog bodies’? linktr.ee/empirepoduk

This ancient animal started out with two eyes that eventually merged into one, and then back to two eyes. Even more interesting, the scientists think we still have this third eye, but it is now the pineal gland in our brain!

While modern finned octopuses are small deep-sea creatures, their Cretaceous ancestors were giant apex predators. "It may have been among the largest invertebrates ever known.” Fossil analysis reveals species reaching up to 61 feet long that hunted hard-bodied prey alongside prehistoric sharks.

Scientists discover that giant octopuses were top predators of ancient oceans

Finned octopus species alive today are all small, deep-sea animals that mostly live in pitch-black darkness thousands of meters beneath the surface of the sea. But a new discovery by a team of…
