Palate-cleanser: just one stunningly beautiful AND accurate human-made archaeological image (by the extraordinary @tombjorklundart.bsky.social) 🏺

She is wearing furs, and holds a small black object (birch tar). Her hair is deep black and wavy, her skin mid-brown, and her eyes pale.

NEW Archaeologists play 6000-year-old shell trumpets from Neolithic Catalonia, revealing they were highly effective for long-distance communication and may have also been used as musical instruments.

Please call your representatives. The future of the internet is on the line because of these bills being forced down on us and they'll keep pushing this shit.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

Something ancient and wonderful for the weekend! 🤩

The world’s oldest known sculpture of a horse!

This tiny figurine was carved from mammoth ivory by an Ice Age artist some 40,000 years ago!

📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a profile view of a small horse figurine with head to the left, displayed against a dark background. Sculpted from mammoth ivory, the surface is a mottled greyish-earthy-brown colour with a shiny patina. It was once likely pale white in colour. It measures 2.5 cm height, 4.8 cm width, and 0.7 cm depth. The head is gracefully lowered with a long curving neck and a convex curved back. The four legs are incomplete. The top of the tail remains. The eyes, nostrils, and mouth are carved as indents. The ‘Vogelherd Horse’ was excavated in 1931, together with a number of other ivory animal figurines from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany. It is the oldest known sculpture of a horse. On display at the Museum of Ancient Cultures, at Hohentübingen Castle, Tübingen, Germany.

Lots of ignorance about Turkeys, including their domestication, why they are named Turkeys, how many species of Turkeys there are and their distribution across the Americas. Remember Benjamin Franklin wanted Turkeys as the USA National symbol for a reason? www.sapiens.org/archaeology/...
Five Ways Native American Communities Honor Turkeys
Some Indigenous peoples in the U.S. Southwest have a long relationship with turkeys, which they use for their feathers, eggs, meat, and more.

53 years ago, on the 29th of November 1972, Atari released Pong, which was originally created by Allan Alcorn as a training exercise. It was based on the ping-pong game available on the Magnavox Odyssey home video game console. Pong was the first commercially successful video game. #otd #history 🗃️

Both the NSFW and SFW art community really ought to set aside their differences for once and make noise over this nonsense. Otherwise, we'd have to use (God forbid) "fake money" to pay for art. 🙄

I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

There are flowers coming out of frame, as well as this character. To the right: Officers pointing the gun at the fox character. A cop in mid ground is reflecting and looking pensively at the flower, to perhaps contemplate their place in all of this. A cop in the foreground holds an expression of contempt.
