1950s sci-fi was the cue here - a model planet and some long exposure 'space rays'.

WOW, this is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world! 🤩

It includes two foot-soldiers, two mounted riders, an elephant with rider, a figure driving two horses, and a figure driving a three-horse chariot. Ivory, AD 700s.

My photo shows seven honey-coloured chess pieces, hand-carved from elephant ivory and worn with age. They are displayed in two uneven lines. At the front are two foot-soldiers, behind them are two mounted riders, followed by an elephant with rider (nearest viewer) and a figure driving two horses. At the back is a figure driving a three-horse chariot. It’s suggested they represent divisions of an army. Dimensions: Height between 2.6cm - 3.7cm. Dated AD 700s. I saw these pieces on display at the British Museum’s ‘Silk Roads’ Exhibition in 2024, on loan from Samarkand State Museum-Reserve, Uzbekistan. The museum label read: “This is the earliest known group of chess pieces in the world. Probably originating in India as an aristocratic game, chess spread along Silk Road routes and became a popular pastime across the Islamic world and Europe. These pieces are made of ivory, which probably came from India. They reflect the continued movement of luxury goods and elite customs in the Islamic period”.

The glorious contour-hugging ramparts of Penbury Knoll hillfort Pentridge Down, Cranborne Chase, command wide ranging views across #Dorset #Hampshire and #Wiltshire

A place to heal

The earthworks have not been investigated, but are probably Late Bronze or Early Iron Age

Der dän. Vizepräsident Brask hat gerade die USA direkt gewarnt: Er sagte, der Kongress müsse "die Kontrolle über die pol. Macht übernehmen", da Trump "unberechenbar" und "verrückt" sei. "Und dann stellte er die Frage, die jeder jetzt laut denkt: "Ist der Präsident in der Lage, die USA zu führen?"

Pflanzen hören ihre Bestäuber und können innerhalb von Minuten den Zuckergehalt des Nektars erhöhen

Dabei unterscheidet die Pflanze sehr wohl ob es Wind ist, oder gar unerwünschte Besucher

So kann eine Pflanze Resourcen einsparen

Ice Age art!

A lovely little horse figurine sculpted from mammoth tusk around 15,000 years ago!

Known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’ it was found in 1886 in the cave of Les Espélugues, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. 📷 by me.

My photo shows a small horse statuette in a museum display case. The horse, viewed in profile, was masterfully carved from mammoth ivory around 15,000 years ago. The sculptor has depicted many realistic details such as the eyes, nostrils, and ears flattened against the head. The coat is represented by finely incised lines and dots. The mane is sculpted in relief, with incised lines on both sides. The four legs and tail are incomplete. The surface of the ivory has a shiny brown patina. Dimensions: Length 7.3 cm x Height 3.5 cm. The statuette is known as ‘The Little Horse of Lourdes’. It was discovered in 1886 in a rock fissure in the Espélugues cave, Lourdes, Haute-Pyrénées, France. Part of the collections at the Musée d'Archéologie Nationale, Domaine national de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Eigentlich sollte ich jetzt in Rom sein und mir Tagliata die Manzo und Amarone reinballern.
Stattdessen fahre ich abgestürzte, halbtote Hörnchen durch den Münchner Berufsverkehr.
Der kleine Kerl hat leider nur schlechte Chancen die Nacht zu überstehen. Also: Daumen drücken!

I'm seeing a few Welsh sites this #TombTuesday, so to join in here is lovely Carreg Samson on the Pembrokeshire coast. The huge capstone was put in place by St Samson of Dol, using only his little fingernail ...
