◻️ #Burnham #Iran Letting B1 bombers fly out of RAF Fairford to bomb Iran is Burnham's first big mistake. Starmer was weak and now we see so is Burnham. The UK is not at war with Iran. It does have military assets in the Gulf, but they will now be more vulnerable to attack by Iran.

‘Bee-autiful’ gold pendant from Bronze Age Crete 🐝 ❤️ Minoan jewellery inspired by nature 3,800 years ago! The ‘Malia Bee Pendant’ is said to represent a pair of bees placing a drop of honey into a honeycomb. Heraklion Archaeological Museum #Archaeology

The image shows a circa 3,800 year-old Minoan gold pendant known as the ‘Malia Bee Pendant’. It is said to represent two bees facing each other in the process of depositing a drop of honey in their honeycomb. Their heads and the ends of their bodies are joined. Each insect has a single wing behind the body. In the centre of the pendant, framed by the curving bodies, the bees hold a round, granulated honeycomb between their legs, and a round 'drop' of honey balanced between their mouths. On their heads is a spherical filigree cage enclosing a solid gold sphere. Hanging down are three circular gold discs decorated with beaded border; a disc from each wing and one from where their end of their bodies meet at the sting. The pendant measures 4.6 cm maximum diameter. Excavated from the Minoan Bronze Age cemetery of Chrysolakkos at ancient Malia, Crete. Dated 1800 BC.
