A photo of Trajan's Kiosk on the island of Philae flooded by the Aswan Low Dam, taken in 1930. After the building of the dam in 1902 the island was submerged by the rising water of the reservoir and tourists came to see the buildings by boat. In the 1970s the kiosk and other buildings on the island were relocated to the island of Agilkia due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The temple was never finished, reliefs show emperor Trajan as pharaoh, but the building might date earlier. 1/2

Scientists have discovered a trove of nearly 600 obsidian hand-axes that were crafted more than 1.2 million years ago in Ethiopia by an unknown group of hominins. This pushes the timeline of obsidian tool use back by 500,000 years.

Hunterston Brooch

This stunning brooch was found at Hunterston, Ayrshire during the 1830s. Made about AD700, it is a highly accomplished casting of silver, richly mounted with gold, silver and amber decoration. It is one of the iconic objects of the Early Historic and Viking periods. It is now in the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. #Archaeology

Something I learnt about only recently (it may have been on here): for many arxiv preprints, if you replace the "x" in the url with a "5", you will get a nice accessible html version!

Works quite well for reading on your phone in the train for example 👍

This feminist slogan can be found written on walls all over central Athens.
It’s a pun:

Αρρενωπότητα (masculinity)
Τίποτα (nothing, null)
