This ostothek fragment is the symbol of the Alanya Archaeological Museum.
The fragment depicts a man and a woman cheek to cheek, is thought to belong to a couple who were cremated together in the Roman Period and the fragment is interpreted as the power of love.

4️⃣ Another means of Yalda “birth,” referring to the birth of ancient Persian Sun God Mithra, interpreted as the triumph of light over darkness but it actually marks the sun's rebirth rather than Mithra's birthday.

3️⃣ In Zoroastrian tradition, the night represented the peak of darkness and the forces of evil.
2️⃣ Thus, tonight is Yalda Night, also known as Shab-e Yalda, one of the oldest Persian traditions, which has long been celebrated in Iran and among neighbouring countries and folks such as Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Iraqi Kurds, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Turkiye.

Got stopped today by a Moscow traffic policeman. Our conversation:
"When did you last have a drink?"
"I haven't had a drink."
[Policeman sticks head into car & sniffs.]
"Is that your eau de cologne I can smell?"
"I haven't put on any eau de cologne."
"No drink? And no eau de cologne?! Drive on."
