With three books published, the Living Sword series is my only series so far.

It has action, humor, and a talking sword very particular about their appearance and with a love of storytelling.

NEW Isotope analysis of copper artefacts from Bronze Age Möriken-Wildegg, Switzerland finds some copper was likely sourced as far away as Cyprus, indicating that, c.1400 BC, even rural communities were involved in the extensive Eurasian market networks.

results of this week's #Paleostream flocking!!!

this week we sketched Camelops, Daemonosaurus, Panderodus, and Eustreptospondylus

#sciart #paleoart
a Camelops walks past a fairly newly formed tarpit nestled amongst thick vegetation Camelops is an extinct kind of camel that lived during the last ice age, unlike modern camels it had quite a slender snout and was slightly taller, it's unknown if it had a hump or not, however, we know that if it did have a hump it would only have one rather than two thanks to the shape of its back a Daemonosaurus slowly walks along the shallow muddy banks of a lake in the morning, it's slow movements are calculated as to not alert any nearby phytosaurs Daemonosaurus is a Triassic dinosaur who's position in the dinosaur family tree is still debated, some consider it a basal theropod, while others consider it a non-theropod saurischian related to dinosaurs like Hererrasaurus. it's a small dinosaur with a short face and large teeth, although, it's only known from a single skull, some neck material, and a few ribs three Panderodus kick up fine sediment by the shoreline of the ocean at night, they're illuminated from above by a light offscreen and outside of the water Panderodus is an unusual type of conodont (extinct jawless fish related to lampreys) which is flat like a stingray unlike other conodonts which are more eel-like. it's most well known for it's large conodont elements (mineralised tooth-like structures) which are simple and very proportionally large, some species of Panderodus have grooves on their conodont elements, which some scientists have proposed were for delivering venom, this would make conodonts the earliest venomous vertebrates a Eustreptospondylus swims along the surface of the water during the afternoon, most likely travelling to a nearby island. the camera is at the surface of the water with a small portion above showing the animal's head, while most of the camera is under the water where the body is. bubbles escape from the dinosaur's feathers as a wave submerges its body with only its head left above the water. the animal is swimming using a mix of its tail, legs, and arms. Eustreptospondylus is a theropod dinosaur known from Jurassic England when it was a series of scattered islands. Eustreptospondylus is only known from one juvenile specimen, the juvenile is around a meter tall at the hip. none of Eustreptospondylus' closest relatives preserve a nasal bone, so one scientists suspects that they could have had nasal crests akin to dinosaurs like Ceratosaurus or Guanlong, this isn't known for sure but i have followed this interpretation in my reconstruction of the animal.

This is such brilliant archaeology. There's a bit of a persistent story that Britain was somehow culturally separate from europe in the Roman empire when it was so intertwined and connected by people and goods travelling.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

“He didn’t look around, and watch and learn, and then say, ‘This is how people are, how do we deal with it?’ No, he sat and thought: ‘This is how the people ought to be, how can we change them?’ And that was a good enough thought for a priest but not for a copper…”

"Hell, it has been suggested, is other people.

This has always come as a bit of a surprise to many demons, who had always thought that hell was sticking sharp things into people and pushing them into lakes of blood and so on."

For #AncientSiteSunday this fabulous aerial photo of the Acropolis at #Athens - a site I would love to be right now!

📷 Christos Kapoulas

🏺
Aerial view of the Acropolis of Athens, situated on a rocky hill overlooking the city. The Parthenon, with its partially preserved columns and ruins, stands at the center. Other classical structures, including the Erechtheion and the Propylaea, are visible nearby. Below the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a semicircular stone theater, is nestled into the hillside. The surrounding area is a mix of greenery and densely packed modern buildings, showing the contrast between ancient history and contemporary Athens.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.
