Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania.

It has three volcanic cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira.

It is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest single free-standing mountain above sea level in the world: 5,895 m (19,341 ft) above sea level and about 4,900 m (16,100 ft) above its plateau base.

It is the highest volcano in Africa and the Eastern Hemisphere.

It makes up one of the ‘seven summits’ (the highest peaks on the seven continents).

Two important things about the Hebrew word for Elephant ✍️

1️⃣ In modern Hebrew, we say /peel/ פִּיל for elephant.

Using the PSP (Phonetic System for Pronunciation), we write it as /peel/.

But remember, this is the only /ee/ sound in Hebrew, and it's shorter than the English /ee/ in 'peel'.

Think of it as having the same length as if it were written with an 'i'.

With the PSP, which matches Hebrew sounds, we have only one /ee/ sound, and it's shorter than its English counterpart in this case.

2️⃣ Does /peel/ go back to Biblical times? 🐘

Interestingly, the first mention of an elephant in Hebrew appears in the Mishnah, not in the Tanakh. But what if, back in the days of the Tanakh, they used a different name?

The word they might have used is /hav/ (הָב) which is funny because in modern Hebrew, /hav/ is the sound a dog makes – the Hebrew equivalent of 'woof'!

The biblical term for elephant's tooth, /shen-'hav/ (שֶׁנְהָב), is believed to be a combination of two words: /shen/ (שֵׁן), meaning 'tooth' in Hebrew, and /hav/ (הָב), a word borrowed from Egyptian meaning 'elephant'.

So next time you talk about elephants, or if you find yourself acting like a /peel/ in a china shop, remember these fun facts about the Hebrew language and its elephants! 🐘

1923 (2022-)

The Duttons face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition and the Great Depression.

This is the prequel to 'Yellowstone' and a sequel to 1883. It's really really very good. I love the new characters and the scenery. Really interesting characters. I have only watched the four episodes available in UK and it's brilliant. I have tried to watch 1883 but for some reason I cannot get into it. Has anyone seen it, does it get better?

If you haven't seen 'Yellowstone' then I highly recommend it, follow it by watching 1923! Is it just me, or does '1923' feels like an American version of the Downton Abbey (but Western Style!)?

Nature: Biomes - Savanna

That is certainly the point: when the human species was born, on the African savanna, life was pretty good; we could live in harmony with the rest of nature, and that's what I've been calling Eden. The only technologies that humans devised for some 2 million years were fire and the hand ax. That's all. Eden didn't need anything more.
