Folks in this thread pointing out that low pay for high experience jobs makes them 'hobby jobs' - things for rich folks to do. When we make the cultural infrastructure of our country a hobby for the rich, we end up with a culture that valorises wealth. It is a political choice, and a dangerous one

The Menhir di Monte Corru Tundu is six metres in height and located near Oristano in Sardinia. It’s around 5,000 years old and is made of trachytic tuff. There are three circular depressions carved into it. #AncientBlueSky #Neolithic #StandingStoneSunday

The Necropolis of Banditaccia is an incredible Etruscan site! There are over 1,000 tombs, a small section of which is open to the public. Dating from the 9th century BCE, the necropolis was built by the inhabitants of Caisra (modern Cerveteri) #TombTuesday #AncientBlueSky #Etruscans
Tumuli from the Etruscan Necropolis of Banditaccia. They are made of earth and stone and cover tombs, some of which are intricately decorated.

Centuries ago, many astronomical books included moving parts to help readers interpret the world around them. This biscuit recreates a diagram from Sacrobosco’s ‘De Sphaera’ (c.1550). It could be used to calculate the changing length of daylight hours through the year. 🍪
Two biscuits stacked on top of one another, designed to look like a rotating diagram from an early modern astronomical book. The lower biscuit is circular and features a series of horizontal lines and tiny numbers in an early modern font. The top biscuit is roughly in the shape of boat: the 'mast' area reads 'zenith'; the main body of the shape features tiny figures in historical dress holding astronomical instruments and a Latin motto reading 'Nulla dies sine linea'.

St. Paul’s Catacombs in Rabat, Malta are an extensive network of palaeochristian tombs, some of which date back to the 3rd or 4th century BCE. A notable feature are the ‘agape’ tables probably used for funerary feasts. #TombTuesday #catacombs

Cart-ruts on the left, Classical Period quarries on the right. These parallel tracks in Malta have been talked about for decades. Who made them, how, when and why? Most likely they were made for wheeled carts to transport blocks from regular quarries in Punic-Roman times. #ancienthistory #malta
