CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Watched a random video last night ... a fellow, late 20s I'd guess, reviewing Crosby Stills Nash & Young music. The song "OHIO" came up. He had no idea about the shootings at Kent State. Not a clue. Should I be surprised & shocked? Probably not. Boggles my mind. #America #USA #history #society https://youtu.be/vGFiZ3X6i6Q?si=dbFpYUyLhYbOiZuW

Canada's First Air Stars: The SiskinsThe RCAF's first official aerobatic team was the Siskins, formed in 1929. Flying Armstrong Whitworth Siskin biplanes, the three-pilot team amazed crowds across North America, including at the prestigious National Air Races in the US. They pioneered precision formation flying in Canada's air force but were disbanded in 1932 due to Great Depression budget cuts. #Canada #RCAF #VintageAviation #Aviation #History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siskins

A fashion designer, Leigh had fled France in 1942 after running escape lines for Allied airmen. After her return, Leigh carried documents and equipment such as guns and explosives around her network's area. Arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, she was executed at Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp.#WomenInHistory #OTD #History #WomensHistory #WorldWar2 #Histodons

#history #archaeology #booksA recent study has found that Vikings supplied falcons to Baghdad. Using information from a variety of sources including Arabic writers the study pieced together information about the birds. These falcons were white and the association with royalty made the birds highly prized. The authors of the study think that the birds were gryfalcons which came from Viking artic regions and their remains have been found in Viking burials. https://www.medievalists.net/2026/05/vikings-traded-falcons-with-medieval-baghdad-study-finds/

@elaterite the V2 was built in an underground cave system in the region where I grew up. It was in the middle of nowhere in Germany and the only reason completely unimportant tiny villages and towns got bombed. Because the train tracks going through them were needed to get the materials to where they build the rockets.

@ObsidianUrbex That beautiful ceiling, going to rot. Very sad.

I found this to be absolutely fascinating. The peoples of the northern and eastern Mediterranean have been fighting each other for thousands of years. And they're still doing it today, right this minute. If you have an hour, I highly recommend it.#civilization #history #war #archaeology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Sz--RItxZc

@bobthetraveler Wait, is the Diamond Sutra the oldest dated printed book just because the colophon says 868, or are there older printed fragments that just don't have a date written on them?
