This is the most faithful film adaptation of The Odyssey. Even though it had a much smaller budget than Nolan’s, the passion and respect for the source material shows.

“Zeus’ law “referred to in the new Nolan film refers to Xenia. It was a ritualised system of obligations for both hosts and guests. It was not uniquely Greek but existed in many Indo-European cultures. It was enforced by a widespread belief that the gods, whether that be Jupiter or Odin etc, sometimes disguise themselves as mortals and test the hospitality of wealthy and powerful people - rewarding the hospitable and…

Artistic reconstruction of a man from the Abashevo culture. This was a redo of a past work. There were some artistic liberties taken on his headband and neck ring. The headband was inspired by a Russian anthropological bust of this same skull. While the neck ring was based on some research I found about torc like artifacts from Abashevo. Unfortunately Ido not have phenotype data on Abashevo so I choose pigmentation t…

Fair-haired Aristocracy of Ancient Greece
At the end of the video, it's stated that modern Greeks have a lower proportion of light hair due to interbreeding with their neighbors, including Slavs. Naturally, interbreeding with pure Slavs would have increased the proportion of light hair. As for the Southern Slavs, their higher percentage of dark hair is not due to their Slavic ancestry, but to their local Balkan orig…

Happy Summer Solstice!
Today is the longest day of the year — the symbolic point of solar apogee, marked by the Slavs as Kupala, the Balts as Ligo, and the Germanics as Midsummer. I wish you to fully enjoy the coming days of this summer and be prepared for what follows.

🏴 Earlier this year, Scotland hosted its annual Viking Festival, the culmination of the Yule festivities. It was a truly majestic spectacle. Naturally, the Viking images at the festival are not historical reenactments.

Artistic Reconstruction of an Andronovo man from Kazakhstan. Clothing patterns were inspired by Andronovo pottery patterns. I have done an artistic reconstruction referencing this skull before but wanted to improve accuracy and realism.
Source of skull reference is from this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361084568_Solodovnikov_KN_A_complex_study_of_anthropological_materials_of_the_Maitan_burial_gro…

In 2015, various popular publications reported on the skeleton of a Roman teenage girl who lived in Londinium, a city now known as London, in the 4th century CE. The remains were found in a Roman cemetery on Lunt Street, hence the scientific nickname «Lunt Street Girl».
A macromorphoscopic analysis of the skull and skeleton o…

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
