Two new languages were created for the film!

Back in the lab at CNRS in Orleans with glass beads. They will be analysed and maybe we have a few of Mesopotamian glass from the middle Bronze Age 🤞🏻

Went to #lymeregis to go on a #fossilhunt
Great bonus was the Victorian junk that came from an old landfill. Found some nice pieces.
I’ll be back 🤩

Sitting under the oak trees North Bovey in the outskirts of the #DartmoorNationalPark we find a Celtic cross.

Nobody knows where the cross was originally placed but it was not here. From a nearby brook some say.

The age of the cross is not certain but may be very old.

New Discovery in Denmark.

A massive and exceptionally well-preserved weapon sacrifice consisting of more than a hundred lances, spears, and swords, as well as a very rare chainmail shirt.

And I visited 🤘🏻

A magical amulet from the Danish National Museum.
It’s made of “bloodstone” and inscribed with :
ABLANATHANALBA that prob. translates to “you are my father” + add. 7 letters which are used in rituals in early Christian magic communities like the gnostics. Find location unknown but prob. Italy.
