I visited the site of the 2nd ship as an UG student but didn’t grasp HOW sensational the site really was & how lucky I was to see it in situ. New studies are constantly being conducted - from the four brothers to the dogs to the iron, the site keeps on illuminating & rewriting our past 4/4

Eric Östergren described the process of setting up the Vikings Before Vikings exhibition at #Vrakmuseum in Stockholm and its impact for the museum. His enthusiasm for the exhibition & the energy the Vrakmuseum puts in to deliver the ideal visitor experience was quite remarkable, inspiring really 3/4

Marge Konsa introduced results of the #excavation which started 17 years ago. Despite its discovery nearly two decades ago, new analyses are constantly changing our perception of the #Vendel period (Pre-Viking Age) in the region. TIL one of the swords was encrusted with Sri Lankan garnets! 2/4

Ma paraku ei kasuta seda rakendust ka, aga Threadsi ma tõepoolest aasta või enam tagasi testisin

Threadsist avastas minu õde hiljuti midagi sellist:

Ma pole umbes aasta seda rakendust avanud 🤭

Kuhjaga välja teenitud tunnustus!

@mariamurmen.bsky.social sai parima teaduse ja tehnoloogia populariseerija peapreemia - palju-palju õnne! 👏

With the exhibition, I wanted to invite viewers to think about how a fresh perspective, new contacts & expanded research opportunities can change long-established theories & positions.

The results are presented in Italian & English, read more in Estonian here: arheoloogia.ee/sundmused/ee... 4/4

Trade between NE Barbarcium & Roman Empire continued through the #AmberRoad but Roman & Italian artefacts have been considered very rare in Estonia. However, my preliminary study has shown that this claim appears to be overexaggerated & not take into account new information 3/4

Estonia's part in the Amber Road has been questioned for long but more recent research has shown that raw amber was indeed found & collected in #BronzeAge Estonia (Saaremaa) at a time when it was a material high in demand in the Apennine peninsula (& elsewhere in Southern Europe) 2/4

Aga pole hullu, tõmbasin pidurit, võtsin nõuks paar päeva ekstrakorralikult magada, kodus tiksuda, turgutasin end rohtudega ja nüüd lähme võiduka lõpuni ja loodetavasti ma ei pea laupäeval jälle end itaalia keeles apteegis proovile panema

(selles ei ole midagi üllatavat, aga nõme on vanade mustrite juurde naasta, päris tublisti olin end rehabiliteerinud tööaegadest kinni pidama sel aastal)

igatahes, nende sildikese normaalseks töötlemine võis vahva olla, aga ma ei saa võtta tõsiselt ettevõtet, kelle jaoks reklaami tegemisel on suva, kas on ikka oma toode pildil või ei (veits nagu võltsreklaam, see tomatimahl koosneb ainult käskudest), rääkimata kõigest muust AIga seonduvast

las ma loen oma igapäevast garbaaži

(+ kes alustab pühapäevi tomatimahlaga? lamp valik)

see oleks nagu halb photoshop ja lisaks AI taust (pudeli proportsioon mehega võrreldes - see jah suurem pudel, a see pole NII suur)

Tonight I’ll be opening an exhibition at Museo dei Grandi Fiumi as part of the same festival, Sulle vie dell’Ambra - the first international exhibition I have curated & again, the team have worked wonders 👏
