Cover of the book reviewed, with three ceramic items (one Greek, one Moche, and one Maya).

How did ancient peoples tell stories with pictures? 'Picture Worlds' explores the very different traditions of imagery on Greek, Moche and Maya pottery and the surprising similarities in the tales they told through figural art.

Pyramids, Voids & Vanished Queens: The Tech Cracking Egypt's Darkest Secrets 🏺 Hidden Voids & Royal Secrets: Is Ancient Egypt Gaslighting Us? 🏺 Think you know the truth about the Pharaohs? Think again. 🕵️‍♂️ What if the most advanced technology on Earth just proved we’re still fundamentally clueless about the past? In this episode, we’re tearing up the history books and diving into the unsolved mysteries of ancient Egypt that keep archaeologists awake at night. We’re talking about the Great Pyramid and the mind-bending architectural anomalies recently exposed by muon scanning technology. These aren’t just small cracks; we’re looking at massive hidden voids that challenge everything we know about ancient engineering. Why were they built? What’s inside? And why does it feel like the more we discover, the less we actually understand? Here is what’s on the slab today: - 🌌 The Muon Revolution: Using cosmic particles to 'X-ray' the pyramid and why the results are controversial. - 👑 Nefertiti’s Ghost: The hunt for the missing tomb of Nefertiti and why her identity remains a royal riddle. - 💀 The Tutankhamun Conspiracy: Was it a tragic accident or an ancient cover-up? We look at the forensic debates and DNA testing results. - 🏗️ Impossible Monuments: From the Khufu Solar Boat to the lost Labyrinth, how did they achieve such technological precision without modern tools? Let’s be real: we can map the stars, but we’re still lost in the corridors of Giza. Every archaeological breakthrough, from robotic shaft exploration to genetic sequencing, seems to reveal more complexity rather than final answers. Are we looking at a simple burial ground, or is the Great Pyramid a massive, functional machine? ✨ Think this is wild?

Let’s uncover the secrets the Pharaohs didn’t want us to find! 🚀

Arg-e Bam (Bam Citadel), Iran. The largest adobe construct in the world, it was built during the Parthian period. It suffered massive damage during the 2003 earthquake, but has since been largely restored.

My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against an off-white background. The front-facing octopus appears almost cartoon-like, with a large red and white head and body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot which stare out at the viewer. Below the head and body are eight writhing arms.

This octopus and other fragmentary animal mosaics were discovered in the 19th century at the Hermitage of Santa Colomba, Villaquejida, León, which had been built on the site of a Roman villa.

Applied for jobs at two more night schools.

Teaching #archaeology at a night school actually makes much more constructive societal sense than teaching it at a university. Because night-school students don't go into debt to be there, and they don't expect to get a job in archaeology one day […]

Working title is The One-Way Road. This will be the #OSR counterpart to Here Lies A City. I'm convinced my #archaeology knowledge will be of use *somewhere*, and this time, that will mean exploring a true-to-myth Sheol with a compatible Mark of the Odd system and procedural referee guidance. #ttrpg
