If things had gone differently.

Palaeoloxodon creutzburgi, one of the several elephants that used to live on Mediterranean islands, greeting a baby in an Ancient Greek vase. Small island elephants around the world went extinct around the time of human arrival, but I wonder, what if they didn’t.

As an extra- I originally set out to do Brine Shrimp, but after much more struggle than I'd anticipated with the animal I ended up tossing the drawing in the end and replacing the prompt. For anyone who enjoys pink-colored brine shrimp, enjoy

Brine Shrimp (Artemia monica)

A somewhat-unfinished drawing of two brine shrimp circling each-other. They are pink and yellow with a purple circle behind them.

The Observatory 🐋🌟

A digital painting of a large, round, glass observatory. Out the windows we see whale sharks and manta rays, covered in golden/orange star. In the foreground, a girl is seen painting the whale sharks, and a small orange dog looks up at the scene from the other side of the room

Landback is about governance and stewardship, not European and capitalist notions of ownership.

Comparing it to Naziism is the height of settler anxiety, propaganda, and bullshit. Nobody wants to sink to your level guys. Stop projecting.

How to Buy a Medieval Warhorse - Medievalists.net

Owning a warhorse was more than a necessity for medieval knights—it was a symbol of their status and a critical asset in battle. England’s warrior aristocracy had multiple avenues to secure these priz...

Anyway.
An archaeology break with a thread !
I want you to look at this lovely photo which belongs to the National Museums Northern Ireland. It's a turf travois up in 19th c Glendun. Now zoom on the harness ( welcome to my life ). Notice anything ? It's all straw

A Cushendall pony with a turf creel on a travoise. The harness and traces are all made of straw, plaited. There is an elderly woman standing with a very cute dog, outside a thatched cottage. 19th century photo of the NMNI

Well, don't think I already had enough coffee this morning to comment on Neolithic Snake Wrestling™, but these loincloths (side note: among the figurines known from GöbekliTepe & vicinity, mostly male individuals seem depicted wearing belts) may well be inspired by those #Catalyhöyük murals, fwiw. 🏺

Cover of Ian Hodder's "The Leopard's Tale. Revealing the Mysteries of Catalhöyük" showing the wall painting of an apparently running person (head missing) with a bow and a dotted "thing" flying around their hip.

Reconstruction drawings of several people with dotted pieces of what may be clothing around the hips and backs.

The condition is known as polycephaly and is incredibly rare.

#Archaeology🏺 isn't about dusty old objects in museum showcases - it's about reconstructing and understanding the past people's lives.

But to really bring those people back to life, sometimes it takes the pencil, the brush and the virtuosity of a real illustrator.

Uh-oh, someone's not happy with his order at the thermopolium! 😆

One of my many history themed illustrations. Inspired by recent discoveries in Pompeii, I wanted to draw a "snapshot" of a street with people in ancient Rome.

A street scene in Ancient Rome: at the counter of a street restaurant, a customer is pointing at his plate and screaming at the server, clearly complaining about the food. More people meanwhile, variously, walk by and look, stand there watching, or do not seem to care.

Amazing fossil alert.

Jurassic salamander from China. You can see the soft tissue of the eye, gills, limbs, even the folds of its tail. And its last meal its stomach…
