Viking-age Treasure Came to Scotland From West Asia

Ten years on from the discovery of the Viking-age Galloway Hoard in south Scotland, experts have revealed that part of the collection came from West Asia.

The collection - described as one of the most important UK archaeological finds of the century - was found by metal detectorist Derek McLennan in 2014.

A lidded silver vessel was discovered still wrapped in its ancient textiles, which is extremely rare, and meant that the surface of the vessel could at first only be seen through X-ray scans.

Experts say the vessel is originally from what is now central Iran and it was transported halfway around the world more than 1,000 years ago. The vessel was found to contain other treasures, like silk and brooches.

Its textiles have now been partially removed and preserved, and the vessel has been cleaned using lasers which removed any green corrosion and revealed details of the design, including crowns, fire altars, leopards and tigers.

This imagery is unusual in western Europe but it is linked with the iconography of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of the Sasanian Empire which was the last Persian empire before the early Muslim conquests from 632AD.

The hoard - which contained more than 5kg of silver, gold and other materials - was discovered on what is now Church of Scotland land near Balmaghie in the historical county of Kirkcudbrightshire.

Dr Martin Goldberg from the National Museums Scotland said the vessel was "further evidence of the cosmopolitan make-up of the Galloway Hoard".

He said: "We now know that the Viking-age silver that makes up most of the Hoard was melted down from coins and metalwork from early medieval England.

"Some objects, like the lidded vessel, stood out from the rest and the scientific analysis now confirms this.

"It is incredible to imagine how the vessel made its journey halfway round the known world, from Iran to this distant corner of southwest Scotland.”

The artefact from about 900AD is set to go on public display for the first time next week, on loan to the British Museum’s upcoming Silk Roads exhibition in London.

Other objects from the Galloway Hoard will go on long-term display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, while a portion will go on show at Kirkcudbright Galleries.

Dr Sue Brunning, from the British Museum, said: "We're delighted that visitors to Silk Roads will be the first in the world to see this key object from the Galloway Hoard.

"Among its remarkable contents were Scotland's earliest recorded silk, and so it is a highly appropriate inclusion in the exhibition."

MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ Host Corrects Guest Who Falsely Labeled Trump A ‘Rapist’ After ABC Defamation Settlement

Weeks after ABC News settled a lawsuit with President-elect Donald Trump following its top anchor’s false, defamatory claim that Trump was a “rapist,” Mika Brzezinski, co-host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program, hurried to correct a guest who irresponsibly made the same claim.

On Wednesday’s episode on the left-wing network, Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU Stern School of Business, was discussing the economic factors that led voters to select Trump over Kamala Harris when he falsely labeled Trump a rapist.

“We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality. And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation’s history, a 30-year-old man or woman isn’t doing as well as his or his or her parents were at third,” Galloway said.

As the conversation came to a close, Brzezinski quickly interrupted with a serious legal note to make it clear that MSNBC did not approve or condone the guest’s “rapist” claim.

“I want to make a comment about a word that was used in this interview. Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found libel of sexual abuse, not rape…” Brzezinski told viewers.

After that, Brzezinski abruptly cut to a commercial break.

Additionally, Trump has never been handed insurrection charges.

Brzezinski issued the correction after ABC News agreed to pay $15 million last month to resolve a defamation case involving a similar false remark made by George Stephanopoulos, co-anchor and host of “This Week.”

In a March 10th interview, Stephanopoulos, who was forced to issue an apology as part of the settlement, had repeatedly asserted that Trump had been found “liable for rape” by the liberal New York jury while interrogating a congressman about her backing of the Republican candidate. 

Sources who reached out to the press also claimed that “stubborn” Stephanopoulos had repeatedly disregarded his producer’s numerous warnings not to use the word “rape.”

Meanwhile, national news networks have received a harsh warning from Trump’s nominee to lead the Federal Communications Commission on their apparent bias in their coverage of the incoming president.

“Americans no longer trust the national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly,” stated FCC chair Brendan Carr.

Social media users soon chimed in to respond to Galloway’s comments on MSNBC.

Unacceptable for Scott Galloway on msnbc calling @realDonaldTrump Insurrectionist & a rapist he needs to be Sued! Clueless on Americans who voted for Trump. Ny times got it right dems lost working class & Galloway has no idea how because he's part of the problem. Sue them Trump!— Tamara Lynn (@tamkyn) January 8, 2025

Readers added context: Rolan Deep is a man (my out of character readers, see player character from Blood in the Bayou) from a small town in Galloway, Louisiana. (More feeding to my out of character readers, it would be basically impossible for Rolan to exist in the time of Edyn's even if they were in the same world because Riptide takes place in 1500 while Blood in the Bayou is in set in 1984) Rolan Deep is a lawyer. If we can get that man into the undersea we could sue the hell out the elders anons lets get on this TAKE THEM TO ALL-COURT /silly Source: Here is a post from GrizzlyPlays saying the canon Riptide Player Character birthdays, which when you do the math, ends with the year being 1500, Blood in the Bayou's year setting is said in episode 1 about 2:46 in, another GrizzlyPlays post talking about the Mana Court System (for the context of "All-Court").

UN VISTAZO A LISBETH SALANDER

Estoy enamorada del personaje de Lisbeth Salander. Realmente disfruté de la trilogía cinematográfica de La chica del dragón tatuado. Aún no he leído ninguno de los libros.

Cuando tenía unos diez años, leí una novela para adultos jóvenes bastante oscura llamada Snake Dreamer, de Priscilla Galloway. El libro revisita el mito de Medusa, uno de los monstruos más reconocibles y perdurables del canon occidental. En él, la propia Medusa repite la frase "En mí, víctima y asesino se unen". Se refiere a su maltrato a manos de los dioses (el libro solo se refiere indirectamente a la violación de Medusa por Poseidón) y a la rabia asesina que siente como resultado de su injusticia. Snake Dreamer retrata a Medusa como un monstruo poderoso y peligroso, y como un guardián sabio y amoroso. Ella es una fuente de fuerza para sus compañeras víctimas porque resiste sus impulsos destructivos y redirige su monstruoso poder para nutrir y proteger.

En el contexto cultural más amplio, sin embargo, Medusa todavía está muy asociada con el poder petrificante y castrador de la ira femenina. El recuento de Ovidio del mito de Gorgona introdujo la idea de que Medusa era originalmente una mujer humana que fue violada por el dios del mar Poseidón en el templo de Atenea, y en un acto de culpar a la víctima atroz se transformó posteriormente en un monstruo mortal con pelo de serpiente.

Dada la tremenda influencia de las Metamorfosis de Ovidio, el motivo dual de la violación y la rabia se ha quedado firmemente con Medusa, a partir de su mención en Comus de John Milton como guardiana de la castidad (el argumento central de Comus es que las mujeres no deben ser culpadas ni consideradas impuras). Como resultado de una agresión sexual) hasta el día de hoy.

Ahora, de nuevo, no he leído los libros de Stieg Larsson. Por algunos comentarios que he visto sobre ellos, sospecho que las películas pueden ser mejores, al menos en el sentido de que parecen haber atenuado las posibles cualidades de Mary-Sue de Blomkvist y, lo que es más importante, preservado la inclinación de Lisbeth por la venganza brutal. mientras elimina ciertas cualidades y acciones que pueden mancillar el disfrute del espectador de esa brutalidad. En un artículo reciente de Slate que defiende el estatus de Lisbeth como una especie de heroína feminista, se hace referencia explícita a la mezcla de víctima y asesino de Lisbeth. De hecho, Lisbeth es una encarnación contemporánea de Medusa y, a diferencia de la Medusa de Snake Dreamer, no resiste ni sublima su rabia. Ella es activa y extravagantemente asesina, haciendo pleno uso de su poder similar a la gorgona para aterrorizar a los hombres que la han agredido y abusado.

Para mí, esto constituye la cualidad más interesante de las películas: someten al espectador a la disonancia cognitiva de condenar y animar la violencia sexual. Aunque podría decirse que las víctimas de Lisbeth se lo merecen (ella reacciona y busca venganza por abusos verdaderamente horribles), sigue siendo brutal y sádica. Ella devuelve asesinato por asesinato y violación por violación. Sé que cuando veo las películas, animo a Lisbeth. Para mí, al menos, encarna una fantasía profundamente arraigada y visceralmente satisfactoria. Es como una versión feminista de The Punisher. Pero, no importa lo que sienta por Lisbeth Salander, ¿cómo debería sentirme por ella? Es un enigma milenario: ¿qué significa castigar la violencia con violencia? ¿Hay algo que decir a favor de que las mujeres reclamen la capacidad de la violencia, en lugar de oponerse a la cansada asociación de la feminidad con la paz y la crianza frente a la violencia y la destrucción masculinas? Después de todo, tenemos que lidiar con la cultura de la violación y vivimos bajo un estado que es regularmente violento con sus propios ciudadanos. Por otra parte, ¿apropiarse de las tácticas del patriarcado constituye rebajarse a su nivel? ¿Perpetúa un ciclo interminable de violencia?

Tengo una dificultad similar para precisar el significado de la sexualidad de Lisbeth y su aparente autismo. ¿La bisexualidad de Lisbeth la convierte en una fuerte protagonista queer o es un dispositivo destinado a excitar a los espectadores heterosexuales? En cuanto a su autismo, si el personaje es realmente autista es un tema de acalorado debate. No se menciona en las películas, aunque además de los síntomas del trauma, exhibe déficits sociales fundamentales y parece ser una sabia, la cualidad característica de los autistas en la ficción, solo en la ficción.

En los libros, la posibilidad del síndrome de Asperger es discutida brevemente por personajes que la conocen y se preocupan por ella. (Su diagnóstico "oficial", según los registros compilados por médicos abusivos que valió la pena para confinarla, es el de una psicópata paranoide). Es difícil separar los efectos del abuso de por vida de los atributos "inherentes", pero a mí me parece que Lisbeth tiene rasgos sociales y cognitivos preexistentes que sugieren que podría estar en el espectro. Ella es muy literal y parece pensar de manera muy concreta, parece tener afinidad por la igualdad y la rutina (que se manifiesta de manera prominente en sus hábitos alimenticios), y tiene áreas limitadas de gran interés y habilidad. El trauma psicológico no causa el autismo, pero ciertamente no excluye el autismo, y para mí, Lisbeth se ve, habla y actúa como una autista. Todo se reduce a la interpretación.

Si Lisbeth es autista, ¿qué significa eso? Ella es un personaje autista queer muy visible y conocido, entonces, pero ¿qué viene de eso? Su papel como una furia vengativa es mucho más magnificativo, ya que las personas con discapacidad tienen muchas más probabilidades que las personas sin discapacidad de ser víctimas de violencia y agresión sexual. Lisbeth no solo actúa contra la fuerza violenta de la misoginia, sino contra el capacitismo y la homofobia.

Sus interacciones con su odioso tutor financiero demuestran la intersección de esas dos fuerzas: él deja en claro que sus relaciones con personas del mismo sexo son parte de su incapacidad general para funcionar como una persona normal. En el caso de una mujer discapacitada o considerada inadecuada, el comportamiento no heterosexual y / o no normativo de género se considera parte de su patología. El mismo hecho de que se la considere mentalmente incapacitada y, por lo tanto, esté bajo la tutela del estado, pasa de ser un dispositivo de la trama (es parte de una conspiración para controlarla y silenciarla, relacionada con su padre, un ex espía soviético bajo la protección de los suecos). A ser demasiado real. Se convierte en un comentario sobre la negación sistémica de la agencia y la autonomía de las personas con discapacidad.

Como los críticos y escritores han señalado una y otra vez, es la naturaleza mítica y contradictoria de Lisbeth lo que la hace tan atractiva.

La ambivalencia perdura. Amamos a nuestros imponentes héroes y monstruos, y no podemos resistirnos a un personaje que es ambos. Como Medusa o las Furias, o, dado que es escandinava, las Valquirias, Lisbeth se puede leer como una construcción patriarcal (ciertamente no debe olvidarse que fue creada por un hombre heterosexual y blanco) o como un símbolo de la resistencia feminista???

Puede ser que ella sea ambos.
