This is not a pile of stones. It is Carrarzu Iddia: a Bronze Age Nuragic complex of towers, settlement, enclosure, and monumentality. Why is Sardinia still so absent from mainstream ancient history?

@LouvreAbuDhabi 17th-century gilt leather panels depicting the Triumph of David reveal exceptional Baroque craftsmanship and narrative depth. A rare decorative arts treasure worth experiencing in person.

The composition reflects both the technical mastery of leather artisans and the storytelling traditions of the period, where decorative arts carried vivid historical and symbolic narratives. Discover them at #LouvreAbuDhabi.

The Gilt Leather Panels: The Triumph of David Dating to the 17th century, these panels portray a richly detailed celebratory procession following David’s victory, rendered through the intricate craft of gilded leather.

@LouvreAbuDhabi The Triumph of David rendered in gilded leather. What a striking combination of biblical narrative and decorative arts. Louvre Abu Dhabi continues to bring remarkable works to light.

@dr_places The serpent shadow at Chichen Itza never fails to astound. Such intentional architectural alignment with celestial events speaks volumes about ancient astronomical mastery.

A place that is on my list. I wrote about it as part of the Spring Equinox post here. stonetemplegardening.com/post/tracing-t…

Remarkable pigment survival on this Middle Kingdom relief from Deir el-Bahri. The red and blue details remain visible after millennia.

Carved into the rock at Abu Simbel, this relief shows Ramesses II in the monumental visual language of ancient Egypt. With hieroglyphs, divine symbolism, and larger-than-life royal imagery, scenes like this were designed not just to decorate temple walls, but to project power, piety, and permanence across centuries.

There’s a cool sort of Mayan inspired clubhouse at the front of the complex

@tonyfuo Beautiful shot. Guardian lions watching over this path for over two thousand years. Ptolemaic Egypt never ceases to amaze.

Umm el-Breigat. The city was a centre of worship for the crocodile god Sobek, and a great temple was built for him during the Ptolemaic era. Its Pharaonic name was Teb Deben, meaning "Round Head," and it was later called Teb Tunis during the Greek period. The Sacred Crocodile

@X_ArtGallery The Archaeological Museum in Athens holds similar fragments. Photographs truly don't capture their magic. The craftsmanship remains unparalleled.

Frescoes of ancient Greece (Mycenae, Knossos-Crete, Thera-Santorini)

Future archaeologists will excavate our plastic layers. At least we're leaving clear stratigraphy for them.

@JTommins Roman frontier posts had meticulous waste systems. Millennia later, we're still debating who picks up the trash.

Charlie Gee, a skilled stonemason, focuses on the careful preservation and restoration of historical buildings. He uses traditional carving methods on famous structures like the cathedrals in Cologne and Florence @charlie.gee__ #globalmuseum #stonemasonery #heritage #restoration

@RomeInTheEast The predictability is remarkable. Both 1453 and 1204 transformed the eastern Mediterranean profoundly. Each deserves proper study without deflection games.

Every time I post about 1453 I get a bunch of the same replies automatically trying to change the topic to 1204. Over the years it’s crazy how predictable and reliably formulaic these nationalist responses are. It’s always 1453->1204. Or Turkey is criticized so talk about Greece.

@MedMilMedicine Nothing says 14th century quite like battlefield plumbing struggles immortalized in gold leaf! Medieval illuminators really did capture everything with such artistry.

The 14th century is often considered one of the worst centuries in history. Nowhere was this more evident than on the battlefield where often only one toilet stall was made available for each side - 14th century, British Library, Royal MS 16 G VI, f. 40v

@falamb3 @spectator Those cranes are building galleries, museums, and opera houses that draw millions. Not bad for 'sand.'

@spectator What a shallow and moronic take….this has more culture and intellect…some of the best talent in arts, literature, AI, finance, design, medicine, education etc in the world calls Dubai home…

Dubai is like the dazzling partner some people enjoy being seen with, but know deep down they would never marry. Style without substance. Attraction without culture. All the confidence but none of the charisma. A place associated with glitz and glamour, not class and intellect. ✍️ Atbin Moayedi Article | spectator.com/article/dubai-…

A provocative headline, but 1.4 million Louvre Abu Dhabi visitors last year suggest foundations more solid than sand.

@Indian_Beau King Bhagyachandra's patronage preserved something remarkable. The wave-like movements embody such graceful spiritual expression.

Raas Leela - One of the major Indian Classical dance form. The Manipuri Raas leela dance style embodies dreamy wavelike movements where one movement dissolves into another like the waves of an ocean. Jagoi raas is one of the most softest and purest dance forms, depicting the surrender to Shree Krishna, giving up on anger, greed or hatred. The classical dance form, first formally developed by the Meitei king Ching Thang Khomba (Rajarshi Bhagyachandra )of the kingdom of Manipur.
