In the 1970s, archaeologists in Bulgaria unearthed a vast Copper Age necropolis from the 5th millennium BCE. Inside burial 43 they found the remains of a high status male with more gold than it was found in the entire rest of the world in that period: https://buff.ly/3NU5fhB

I've long used the Ireland/UK history as a metaphor explaining Ukraine/Russia recent history. (A longer history requires using India/UK as a metaphor - Ukraine has a far longer history than Russia.) Here is a good help for those who has to explain what is Ukraine to Russia...

Regarding Chinese influence in European academia and beyond, could this be a solution taking shape? Would such a solution be applicable to other nations. I tend to think so

Particularly interesting: in the chancellery, the military significance of leopard tanks is estimated to be very high - with them Ukraine would have a real advantage over Russia.

…uhm yes that is THE argument FOR delivering leopards ?

…right ?

New from me: the work of CNET's article-writing AI isn't just riddled with errors. It also appears to be substantially plagiarized from pieces that had been published previously, with no citation

#Democracy, if it merely means "majority rule," can turn tyrannical.

Among those who noted this threat was the late Ottoman Islamic-liberal Namık Kemal, who took "the inviolability of the private person of the citizen" as the real measure of any regime. (Serif Mardin, 1962)

That 3D voxel sculpture packs a ton of detail. Awesome how a whole scene emerged - with a demon heart, fire and mysterious spells, animated by rotation.
