@Workingrich3 @archeohistories CE-Christ Exists

@archeohistories When you use “ CE” is that supposed to mean “ AD?” Anno Domini means year of our Lord not Christian Era.

When the vikings first arrived in Iceland in 9th Century CE, they discovered a coarse yet manageable new world ripe for the picking, uninhabited but for a few Gaelic monks on the southern coast. This strange, rugged land was worthy of conquering and survival over their scandinavian homeland stricken with civil strife and running short on arable land. That force of adventure, strength and resourefulness in a new land cultivated Iceland’s ancient survivalist architecture. It was and still is a vast territory with dramatic rising glacial ranges from moonscape fields that run into coastal beaches of black sand and a land of no native timber. Where necessity became and still is the mother of invention. Homes were constructed of turf and drift wood that would wash upon the shores as well as from the endless supply of lava stones abound in the fields. Stone constrution also proved functionally sensible in this frequent earthquake prone environment, as homes could then “easily” be cobbled back together. These buildings still exist at the ancient homestead of Keldur in Iceland’s southeastern region. This last remaining and fully intact early settlement farmstead can be found mentioned in Sagas from 12th Century CE. Traditionally a clan would head the farm with extended family living and working on site. Originally all living in the long house, there is evidence to think that a sudden and drastic climate change caused the move to smaller residential spaces to be built and long houses to be divided up to make easier to heat. Additions and improvements at  Keldur had been made over the centuries, but the original main hearth room still bears the dirt floors and ancient timbers with fascinating hints of traditional communal living. A tunnel discovered in 1930’s runs from the main hearth room to the nearby small river and was thought to be for defensive purposes. Inside smaller spaces were formed originally for cooking and food storage and a connecting string of smaller turf structures served as various work and storage spaces such as a smithy, a mill, and livestock corral. Newest addition from early 19th Century remains near intact from it’s former glory, furnished with beautiful and simplistic folk furnishings and the silence combined with the spirits of those who still long remain at Keldur. The last owner, whos family had farmed Keldur for almost two Centuries, knew of its great importance to Icelandic heritage and over the years had collected much history on the site. In 1942, he sold Keldur and his extensive collection to the National Museum of Iceland who continue to care for and manage this amazing historic site. Upwards of 200 of these man-made caves with wooden or cobbled facades are scattered about 90 farms in the region used over the centuries for storing hay,corralling livestock, smithy’s and even for trade. Forty one of these caves are now protected sites, but many still in use today. We stopped roadside on HWY 1 at Rútshellir, and explored this t-shaped ‘building’. The front entrance to the turf structure is a feeding area for sheep, then stepping up into the cave (approx 6’ft tall and 10 ft wide) where they take shelter. Walking up the left side exterior is an entrance to another connecting cave space much smaller and where a smithy had a shop for many years. Yet another example of Iceland’s people understanding and using Mother Nature to their benefit through their ancient survivalist architecture. #archaeohistories

@SportsCentralLA @haloshub @chrishayre Great interview

"Everything about him was an outstanding player." Mark Gubicza reflects on Garret Anderson's legacy -- and shares a hilarious story from their playing days with our @chrishayre.

@RamsNFL He signed my sons football in Oxnard when they were scrimmaging the Cowboys. Nice man

The Rams are saddened by the passing of former assistant head coach Dave McGinnis. Our sincere condolences are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

@LTBU_2002 Just say you are a dork

Looking back on this, it’s just not the Halo way. It’s not the standard or the message we want to show the kids showing up to the ballpark for a fun game of baseball. Passion is great, but when used in the wrong way it doesn’t reflect who we are as an organization. #RepTheHalo

@CantDuckTruth @MarineLayerPod @tybuttrey_ Shut up gay dweeb !

@MarineLayerPod @tybuttrey_ I’ve counted 6 “dweebs”, 7 “gays”, and a baker’s dozen “retards” in these comments from Angels fans. They seem to be a real cool bunch… definitely not failed bullies from the ‘90s.

The discourse out there about Mike Trout getting hit this weekend (mostly from Angels fans) is so ridiculous

@RamsBrothers Trashiest Rams helmet ever

If the horn (connected or disconnected) gets removed from the helmet, it’s no longer a Rams helmet. Those are the rules.

@RamsNFL @StonedRamsFan @trent_mcduffie Hell ya

Taking it all in 🏠 @trent_mcduffie | #RamsHouse

@Lakers_310 @Wyd_enzoo Well we did conquer all kinds of countries, right? - So I think we fight pretty good. What are you good at? Stabbing or jumping people?

@Wyd_enzoo We all have strengths and weaknesses. White men of America, fighting isn't your strength. Please stop! Or don't and continue to get embarrassed.

Guy taunts protesters and proceeds to get knocked out

@Hikarisakurariv @PatrioticJew @GPX_Press Mentally sick people. Yes

@PatrioticJew @GPX_Press Exactly. I just want everyone to know that the trans community as a whole is peaceful, they want to live their lives. Been trans doesn't make you violent and mental health is a terrible weight to carry and doesn't discriminating by race, religion or status. We are all people.

The 1524 AD, map of Tenochtitlan, published in Europe, a significant depiction of the Aztec capital, likely based on the sketches by Hernán Cortés and indigenous sources. This map, appearing in Venice and Nuremberg, showcases the city's layout, including its temples, palaces, canals, and causeways, while also referencing Aztec practices like human sacrifice... The map of Tenochtitlan, published in 1524 AD, one of the earliest European visual representations of the Aztec capital. It was included in a letter written by Hernán Cortés to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, and gave Europeans their first glimpse of the magnificent city. The map depicts a city of remarkable urban planning, built on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco and connected to the mainland by causeways. It shows the city's grid-like layout, its temples, and the central ceremonial precinct, providing a visual testament to the awe-inspiring sophistication that Cortés and his men described. In stark contrast, Diego Rivera's 1945 mural, "The Great City of Tenochtitlan," offers a vibrant, indigenous perspective of the same city before the Spanish conquest. As part of his larger work "Epic of the Mexican People" at the National Palace in Mexico City, Rivera's mural is a powerful piece of historical and political art. It depicts Tenochtitlan as a bustling, thriving metropolis filled with market scenes, agricultural activities, and a flourishing cultural and religious life. Rivera's work aims to reclaim the pre-Hispanic history of Mexico, portraying the Aztec capital not just as a marvel of engineering, but as the heart of a complex and rich civilization that was tragically destroyed. Together, the 1524 map and the 1945 mural provide two distinct yet complementary views of Tenochtitlan. The map, while a tool of a conqueror, highlights the city's impressive structure and organization. The mural, created centuries later by a Mexican artist, celebrates the life, culture, and power of the civilization that built it. Both works underscore the scale of the city that left the Spanish so astounded they questioned if they were "dreaming." #archaeohistories

@SoFiStadium please turn up the volume we can’t hear, it’s way to muffled

@StayTruThinkBlu @ArashMarkazi Lol, typical wanna be tough tRaider fan

@KooperCupp @ArashMarkazi Ouch, you’re so good at throwing punches 😂😂 Typical bitch ass Rams fan

I’ve always said when the NFL deserted a generation of fans over 21 years, it was going to take that long to win over the next generation. Imagine being a kid in L.A. watching the Rams play in possibly a third Super Bowl in 8 years. Those are your future season ticket holders.

@StayTruThinkBlu @ArashMarkazi Yeah ok little dork

@ArashMarkazi Raiders will always own LA

@R8drMyke @ArashMarkazi @urban55jj Ok dork

@ArashMarkazi @urban55jj Nah man do you even drive on LA freeways? Overwhelmingly raiders license plates and stickers on cars. Not even close. I actually see more charger plates then rams now.
