A 5,500 year-old terracotta female figurine, so well preserved she looks like she was made yesterday!
Known as ‘Bird Lady’ for her beak-like nose.

The Colosseum.
Construction began in AD 72 under the Emperor Vespasian as part of an imperial effort to revitalise Rome after the tumultuous year of the four Emperors (AD 69) and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Emperor Titus.

Cairn Holy Cairn 1 - one of two Neolithic chambered tombs overlooking Wigton Bay in Galloway. The tomb has two chambers and a wonderful facade of upright pillar stones. 📸 My own. #TombTuesday #Neolithic #Archaeology #Galloway
