Ancient rock art was meant to be heard as well as seen and now acoustic archaeologists are bringing the sounds of prehistoric rituals to life
We can finally hear the long-hidden music of the Stone Age

It’s been a while since the last CHAPBOOK TUESDAY post.
This beautiful example is from the 1810 edition of Red Riding Hood held by @britishlibrary.bsky.social
What makes this unusual are the colour images. These would have been hand painted in each copy, usually by women or children

Happy "Leaves is Plants, Dumbass"iversary to those who celebrate
“hey hangman you promised us pics of plants, this is just a bunch of leaves what gives?” newsflash dumbass, leaves IS plants. leaves provide winter shelter for insects like lightning bugs and butterflies, fertilize the soil, and are a pain in the ass to move anyway so just leave them where you can

If you're wondering how our week is going, one of our team just looked at this section of an OS map and went "Wow, that's a weird shaped lake!"
It's the letter 'I' in 'Buckinghamshire'.

I had a little wander around Holy Trinity Church this morning. I occasionally walk through the beautiful church grounds but I've never been inside the church before. I was fortunate enough to be treated to a private tour by Ivor, the church warden.

I cannot recommend this highly enough! The Manor may be my favourite MTN piece, it's incredibly haunting and beautiful ❤️
It inspired this long form piece I recorded for @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social 'Ghost Stories' release in 2023.
