Syrian rebels topple President Assad, prime minister calls for free elections
Insurgents gained control after only a day of fighting, leaving President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year rule dangling by a thread as rebels marched on Damascus.

Discussion of Mycenaean farming as context to The Odyssey led to students from farming backgrounds telling me that in the modern agricultural hierarchy of animals,alpacas rank below cattle but above chickens.The Odyssey would have greatly benefited from the inclusion of alpacas.

tragically, have decided to take down the aforementioned paper (it really wasnt that good, and I have more recent work that's more representative of my development as a historian/archaeologist I'd rather show)

Still can’t believe that “hey maybe we shouldn’t build a golf course on top of an ancient sacred Indigenous site” needed to be a conversation, but hey! At least things are moving the right way.

The 2,000 year old Octagon Earthworks in Newark Ohio are one of the few remaining fragments of the once sprawling Hopewell Ceremonial Mound Complex.
Thankfully with the sites recent admittance to UNESCO, the golf course will finally be removed in January of 2025.
Big steps in the right direction!

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.
