@red_loeb @GallicaBnF to day located in the AMIEN's library but created by monks in CORBIE.An abbaye at nearly 17 kilometers.It was one of the first great powerfull abbaye built under the oder of the queen Bathilde.

@Michael32477817 @SFMOMA Happy juxtaposition.

@SFMOMA A lapis lazuli cylinder seal 2600BC, Mesopotamia's Royal Cemetery in Ur, Sumer, depicts divided banquet scenes. Seated figures in both sections, possibly queen Puabi, a figure offering a goblet, beer-drinkers with straws, a man by a table, and a pot-bearer before a dignitary

In Jackson Pollock's "Guardians of the Secret," the animal at the bottom of this canvas and figures on the sides reflect the artist's study of psychoanalysis and Native American culture. If they are the "guardians," the center seems to be the "secret." Free to see on Floor 2

Mon Dieu que cette ville de Naples remplie de paradoxes est fascinante, enivrante et addictive pour certains. 🤩🤩 Seuls les personnes qui y sont allées, en laissant de côté les à priori, peuvent comprendre.

@RomeInTheEast @JosephRMolnar how many people are walking through the pass without being conscious of it...Thanks for the picture.

@JosephRMolnar Indeed, the sphendone is what you took pictures of. Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. I am sure Istanbul was a great trip

Why is the Hippodrome of Constantinople mostly gone in present-day Istanbul? It took centuries for this structure to be removed. It was a GIGANTIC building. Think how hard it would be to move all the stones. The process of destruction was began by the vandals of Fourth Crusade in 1203-1204. After that, the Hippodrome was never fully functional as a chariot racing venue. The most damaging thing to the Hippodrome was the fires the crusaders set in Constantinople, especially the western side of the stadium. The statues, priceless ancient treasures from antiquity, were then systematically removed, most of which were melted to make cheap low-value coins. The Hippodrome as it was in its prime was no more. But it was not the end of the story. Despite what I see some people say, the Hippodrome, though falling apart & “greatly damaged” was still somewhat intact after 1204. “Smaller-scale tournaments and activities were organized in the southern half of the Hippodrome” after 1261. Though the Romans never had the wealth to restore the hippodrome after liberating their city from the crusaders, it still was used for less grand spectacles. In the 15th century, Clavijo recorded seeing the Kathisma still there and in use: “In front of these seats, there is a row of pillars, on which is a high seat, raised on four marble pillars, surrounded by other seats, and at each corner there are four images of white marble, the size of a man; and the emperor is accustomed to sit here, when he views the tournaments” The Ottomans found it partially in ruins, damaged, and with no maintenance done in it for centuries. They did not have an organized agenda to destroy it, but it was dismantled it over time. For them restoring a structure which they didn’t need would have been a waste of money. After 1453 “architectural elements such as usable columns and fine stone blocks were taken and re-used in new structures built in the area. In 1521, Sultan Suleiman’s Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha constructed his palace in the space making up the western side of the bleachers of the Byzantine Hippodrome. During the construction of this palace…Ibrahim Pasha removed the west wing of the Hippodrome completely and reused its stones” “The Sultanahmet Mosque was built in 1609, on the eastern side of the Hippodrome where the bleachers & the adjacent Byzantine imperial palace area were, & the bleachers and the imperial box(kathisma) were completely removed. During the construction, the rubble removed from the foundation pits of the Ibrahim Pasha Palace & the Sultanahmet Mosque was spread on the Hippodrome area, and the racetrack was buried approximately 5 metres below the level of the present-day promenade. A look at the pedestals of the three monuments which have survived on the spina reveals this situation today.”

@GrammarUpdates c now that

What do you think? #Englishgrammar #grammar #writing

@red_loeb @NHSuk I hope your request will be heard!🐾🐾🐾

Will COVID-19 vaccination still now only be available through @NHSuk given that who can receive it for free this autumn is being severely restricted? Will anyone be able to pay for it as with the flu jab? If not, why not?

@Next____Level it is not my friend!

@CenterEarly It sounds a mixed inspiration: Byzantin and roman.

Anyone? #Englishgrammar #grammar #writing

@tedielts a i saw her

The correct answer was A - "saw." When something happened once in the past, we typically use the past simple tense. In this case, he met her for the first time only once. Here are some more examples: 🔸I'll always look back fondly on the first time we met. 🔸The first time he saw her, he immediately fell in love. 🔸They first spoke to one another at a conference in 1995.
