#StandingStoneSunday Here’s a stone from lovely #avebury with a human figure for scale. Taken early November last year on the Andy Collins walking tour, the day after the annual Origins Conference. #neolithic

French astronomer Adrien Auzout, born OTD in 1622, made observations of comets and was a founding member of the #Paris Observatory, which is near some #Neolithic monuments on the edge of the city https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/france/paris-megaliths/?s=mb #travel

Context: The Late Bronze Age collapse was a sudden systemic failure where major empires like the Hittites and Mycenaeans fell apart due to a mix of invasions, climate change, and trade disruptions. While the Sea Peoples are often blamed for the raids, the real cause was likely a perfect storm of disasters that broke the ancient world’s interconnected economy.

Another trip down memory lane for Throwback Thursday. My visit to the 5,200 year old Newgrange passage tomb was 16 years ago today. Weeks too late to see the sunlight actually stream through the entrance but it was still a brilliantly sunny last day in Ireland.

Zurück von der bürokrambedingten Landpartie. Sieht so aus, als ob es eine Sache auch voran gebracht hat.

Jedenfalls:

Kleiner Umweg auf dem Rückweg mit Fotohalt war auch drin.
