So today you've decided to visit the Roman Baths. What would you see and do there?
Well, we are going to talk about the two types of baths in Ancient Rome: the Thermae, large-scale imperial public baths, and the Balneae, smaller baths, sometimes public and sometimes private.
Let's go for a bath! 🧵🔽
Layout of an Imperial Rome style bathouse. World History Encyclopedia. Diagram of a balneae style roman baths. Artist interpretation of the Baths of Caracalla, a gigantic thermae complex in Rome. 3D reconstruction of the Caracalla Baths.

Drawing of an anthro magpie wearing a leather apron in a dark workshop. He is working on some kind of old wooden panel, with indian inspired polychromy, featuring an elephant.

A tile with well-preserved surface impressions: three distinct outline of shoes with hobnail patterns in the center, a animal paw prints nearby, and a rectangular maker's stamp with worn lettering and an imprint of a foot. And finger lines. The tile surface shows additional small impressions and chips.

An illustration, in the style of a romanesque stained glass window. On it, the figure of an anthro bird, possibly a magpie, look to a side, while holding a book, dignified as a saint. They are surrounded by latin text saying "Unus Pro Triste Duo Pro Gaudio"

Adorable ancient Egyptian blue faience hippos made by artisans some 4,000 years ago!

📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four hippo statuettes made of Egytian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. Their bright-blue shiny bodies are decorated in black with depictions of Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts their marsh habitat as well as having various layers of symbolism associated with regeneration. For example lotus flowers open in the morning and close at night, symbolising rebirth. Blue faience hippos have been found in Middle Kingdom tombs of high ranking officials. It’s thought they were placed in the tombs to aid the rebirth of the deceased. Hippo top left - Walking hippo shown in profile facing right. Height 11.5 cm, Length 21 cm. Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Top right - Roaring hippo (looks like the hippo is smiling), seated, with head at left and turned inwards to front. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen. Bottom left - Standing hippo in profile facing right. This hippo is part of the Met Museum’s collections and is popularly known as ‘William’. Height 11.2 cm, Length 20 cm Bottom Right - Reclining hippo with head on the right, facing front, and tilted down. Egyptian Museum, Cairo

Do you like dark fantasy?
Did you like Tales of Earthsea?
Small slow burning stories that eventually overrun to cosmic changes?
What about lots of lore and connections waiting to be found?

You will like my writing, give it a read and let me know what you think. It's the only way I can get better

Something I wrote because I had such a vision in my head I couldn’t rest until it was on paper.

A Vulpine wakes on the shores of a strange land. He does not know who he is or where he’s from. But he finds another clinging to life that offers him his first clue.

Ballet [1/4]
A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions. The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky. The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster. The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

I recently finished the House of Da Vinci puzzle game trilogy by Blue Brain Games.

I was really impressed with how well many of Da Vinci's actual machines and inventions were implemented in the puzzles.

So I want to talk about some of my favorite historical devices referenced in the three games:

I'm helping some friends to prepare a set for an interview, modeling for the lighting rig. I'm sitting here in a chair surrounded by lights and cameras pointed at me, with nothing much to do.

I had the idea to make a 60's, Saul Bass inspired movie poster.

An stylized, 60's Saul Bass inspired movie poster. An anthropomorphic magpie has been caught by a spotlight. The menacing shape of an ibis with a glowing eye lurks from behind. "Some mysteries are more dangerous than others" "Anfor Sorrow in" "The EYE of the IBIS" "In Technicolor"

This is some horror story stuff. Also, for reasons like this be careful around old cemeteries, specially if they are not that well kept.
