Hi everyone 👋🏻🤠 I'm back

I'm not sure if it's a good thing to ask you all, but I am curious how you made an idea for your PhD program? I myself find in the situation that I want to do a PhD program, but I either have too many ideas or I have no ideas for it. Could you lend me some advice?

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️

A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet.

Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin.

Archaeologists have unearthed a 1,500-year-old female ascetic's burial near Jerusalem, wrapped in chains—a practice previously attributed solely to male monks. This groundbreaking find reshapes our understanding of women's roles in early Christian asceticism.⛓️🏺 #Archaeology #History #WomenInHistory

Ancient Coin of the Day: A nice one today, with this lovely silver tetradrachm from Himera, ca. 410-409 BC. We’ll also be able to look at a bit of Greek here too, with a possible connection to Pindar Olympian Ode 12. #ACOTD #Greek 🏺🧵

Regular reminder:
"May you live in interesting times" is not a blessing but a curse.
Which I fear most of us understand all too well.

So dear people: "May you live in boring, calm, quiet times".
