An apocalyptic scene: people hide in caves, as the sun goes dark, the moon reddens, and the stars fall to the earth (Cf. Revelation 6:12-17).
From a mid-10th century Iberian illumination of Beatus’s late-8th century “Commentary on the Apocalypse,” Morgan Library & Museum, MS M.644, fol. 112r.

Our stone panel at EAA2023 in Belfast was such a success that we are offering a sequel session at EAA2024 in Rome: "The Experience of Stone II: Sculpting Comparative Phenomenologies." Folks in history & archaeology are especially encouraged to submit abstracts!
