Snippets of the past—tiny cats, massive lakes, women ruling Iron Age Britain

Snippets—tiny cats, hidden lakes, and a powerful reminder (from a brilliant paper in Nature about matrilocal Celtic culture in Britain) that history is just a story—and the story depends on the bias of the storyteller.

Today I’ll focus not on the ugly news topics of the week but on fascinating bits of life in the past, in the form of massive hidden aquifers, cats small enough to curl up on your hand, and—saving the best til last—the proof that in Late Iron Age Britain, women ruled. Lets start with that aquifer. To quote from Live Science, “An enormous water reservoir — likely the largest aquifer of its kind on…

HISTORY OF CARATACUS - CLAN CARRUTHERS CCIS

THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF CARATACUS   The ancient sources containing information about the Roman campaigns inBritannia in the 1st century, the time of Caratacus, are limited. By closely reading Roman histories, a few other textual sources, and archeology, such as coins, historians have been able to create a plausible historical timeline.

James Pharell gets dominated once again by the more powerful Karim Brigante in a match recently posted to YouTube. How many ass-kickings must Pharrell endure from the Roman Warrior?

Pharrell looks adorable in blue trunks and clean white jobber boots. Meanwhile, daddy Heel Brigante has no mercy on the pretty boy, which is why he's my new Favorite Heel. I created this edited video to isolate my favorite moments (mostly focusing on Brigante's utter dominance.)

I suspect the promoters are aware that many sadistic pervs in their customer base, including yours truly, get off on the destruction of their handsome young Babyface at the hands of the hairy-chested He-Man. So they keep making it happen, repeatedly tossing Pharrell in the ring with Brigante for yet another beat-down. Keep 'em coming, boys -- I am nowhere near bored of these yet!

Η «Σφαγή στο Δήλεσι»

Οι ληστές οδηγούνται στην Αθήνα για να δικαστούν. Σχέδιο από την The Illustrated London News

Η «Σφαγή στο Δ��λεσι» (ή «δράμα του Ωρωπού», όπως επίσης λέγεται) ήταν η σύλληψη, η ομηρία και τελικά η θανάτωση, από τους λήσταρχους Αρβανιτάκηδες, ομάδας Άγγλων και Ιταλών περιηγητών στις αρχές του Απριλίου του 1870 στο Δήλεσι. Το γεγονός αυτό είχε αντίκτυπο στις διπλωματικές σχέσεις Ελλάδας, Αγγλίας και Ιταλίας, και οδήγησε τελικά στην πτώση της κυβέρνησης του Θρασύβουλου Ζαΐμη.

The Dilessi murders were committed between 4 and 7 April 1870, when one Italian and three English aristocrats were murdered at Dilesi (Greek: Δήλεσι), a coastal town in eastern Boeotia, by Greek brigands while touring the area near Marathon. The events triggered a crisis between Greece and the United Kingdom.
