Check out the latest from the inimitable Professor Dave Explains (YT: @ProfessorDaveExplains) on the fakery behind the grift around *high precision* Egyptian stone vases (spolier: the real ones aren’t precise). youtu.be/5Zx3bc96Dm8?...

Ceramics, arrowheads and blades from the Great Dolmen of Zumbujeiro. The arrowheads are made from flint and/or quartz. The blades are made of flint. I have accession numbers if anyone needs them.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if AI can't improve productivity of coding, then all other claims about productivity improvements are essentially horseshit. Coding was the one thing everyone was like "well yeah of course it will be able to do that faster"

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

The Grand Dolmen of Zambujeiro, is estimated to date to between 4-3,000 BCE. It currently consists of a single chamber and passageway which is blocked off. One can view the interior from above the chamber, as the capstone has been removed. It is the largest such tomb on the Iberian peninsula.

The Menhir of Almendres is linked to the Cromlech of Almendres and is also aligned to the summer solstice.

The Cromlech of Almendres, outside Évora in Portugal is dated back to the Sixth Millenium BCE in parts, whilst other parts date to the Fifth Millenium BCE and still others to the Fourth Millenium BCE. It is aligned to the summer solstice.

Today, I will be teaching about Apep, "the great babbler", a snake that dwells in the primordial ocean, and lives on its own anticommunicative, irrational roaring. It must be driven back every night by the sun-god and his entourage. I'm sure this concept has no relevance to our present moment...

Yes, it will never replace actually working with the original volume, but it will do the next best thing, and ensure that digital editions of precious volumes are available to researchers into the future. 1/

The Aquae Flaviae at the Termas Romanas Chaves, named for the Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasian. We visited on Sunday (20/09/2026). The thermal waters still flow through the complex, which was lost in an earthquake in the 4th Century CE and was rediscovered in 2006. 1 of 2

Women are being killed whilst jogging in Johannesburg. Nine so far. And as usual, women are being told to be vigilant, but men? Crickets, because…reasons. Not all men, but always men. This is just so depressing. Image is from the Guardian article linked below. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Have arrived in Shetland and now visiting Jarlshof settlement which has evidence dating back to 3600BCE. Primarily a Norse settlement. If you visited here in the 1890s, you’d have seen a scenic hill and one ruin. 1 of 2

Tonight, we are attending a play entitled “When Prophecy Fails” which reimagines the events surrounding the world’s first UFO doomsday cult from the 1950s. Seems apt for this time.
