No rest for Moscow as a road has not only caught fire but is no sinking due to shoddy construction. This apparently occurred without Ukraine's help.

3rd century Roman Moasic depicting a condemned man offered to wild animals in the amphitheater. In general, the plebs showed great enthusiasm for these spectacles (except for the ones who were eventually condemned to have their face eaten by leopards).

The ornate interior of a traditional Romani caravan, known as a Vardo, in Romani language (originating from the Ossetic word vurdon) for cart. These four-wheeled, horse-drawn vehicles were historically used as mobile homes by traveling Romanichal people. The vardo was an integral part of the nomadic lifestyle for the Romani people for many years. They are a symbol of Romani culture and heritage. The caravans are now also appreciated by a wider range of people who are interested in sustainable living, travel, and the craftsmanship of traditional wagons.  Historically, they were pulled by horses, so entrances were often at front to allow driver to keep an eye on the animals. Built with a steel frame, interior would be finished with plywood and insulation. Furnishings varied but often included a fold-out bed, benches for seating, and a table for meals. Built-in storage and decorative elements were common. Traditional vardos were often simple, with no full kitchen or bathroom inside. Cooking might be done in a box outside or with a small stove during bad weather. Romanichal began to live in vardos around 1850.  Prior to that, they travelled in tilted carts or afoot and slept either under or in these carts or in small tents.  Originally Romanichal would travel on foot, or with light, horse-drawn carts, typical of other Romani groups or would build "bender" tents; so called because they were made from supple branches which they bent inwards to support a waterproof covering. The heyday of the Romani caravan was the latter part of the 19th Century. Initially using cheap or castoff horses to draw their chimneyed living wagons, the Romanichal gradually created their own breed of horse,  the Gypsy horse.. . . Wagons were first used as a form of living accommodation (as opposed to carrying people or goods) in France in 1810 by non-Romani circus troupes. Large transport wagons combined storage space and living space into one vehicle, and were pulled by teams of horses. By 19th Century wagons became smaller, reducing the number of horses required, and around the mid-to-late-19th Century (1840–1870), Romanichal in Britain started using wagons that incorporated living spaces on the inside, and added their own characteristic style of decoration. In The Old Curiosity Shop (ch. xxvii), Charles Dickens described Mrs. Jarley's well-appointed van: One half of it...was carpeted, and so partitioned off at the further end as to accommodate a sleeping-place, constructed after the fashion of a berth on board ship, which was shaded, like the windows, with fair white curtains... The other half served for a kitchen, and was fitted up with a stove whose small chimney passed through the roof. It also held a closet or larder, several chests, a great pitcher of water, and a few cooking-utensils and articles of crockery. These latter necessaries hung upon the walls, which in that portion of the establishment devoted to the lady of the caravan, were ornamented with such gayer and lighter decorations as a triangle and a couple of well-thumbed tambourines. Many contemporary versions are built on modern trailer frames, making them easier to transport with vehicles instead of horses. Today's caravans may include more modern conveniences like electricity, full kitchens, and even bathrooms. The tradition of custom building continues, with many people building their own vardos as a lifestyle choice or hobby. Vardos are still seen as a form of artistic expression, with builders often incorporating unique design elements and personal touches.  #archaeohistories

Studies of apes revealed that the ones who learned a basic language and could converse with humans (sounds intelligent, right?) NEVER ASKED A QUESTION. Never. Not with hundreds of apes studied for decades. Why would I bring this up? No reason.
