تاریخ هخامنشیان (بخش ۳۳۰) داریوش بزرگ ماموریت داتیش و نبرد ماراتُن با این شکست ترس و وحشت آتنی‌ها برای همیشه از ایرانی‌ها فروریخت. هرودت (۱) می‌نویسد: “تا این زمان برای آفریدن وحشت در یونانی‌ها تنها شنیدن نام مادها (ایرانی‌ها) کفایت می‌کرد”. در حقیقت سال ۴۹۰ آغاز پیروزی اسکندر در ۳۳۲ پیش از میلاد بود. ترس یونانی‌ها واقعاً ریخته و آوازه آن به گوش مردم مقدونیه نیز رسیده بود! داریوش که نمی‌توانست، دست‌کم علناً بپذیرد که سپاه بزرگ او از دولت-شهر کوچکی مانند آتن شکست خورده است، به فکر یک لشکرکشی دوباره افتاد. فراهم‌آوردن تدارکات لازم چندین سال طول کشید. از بخت یونانی‌ها لازم بود نخست شورشی تازه در مصر سرکوب شود. اما پیش از خواباندن شورش مصر و حمله به مصر، داریوش در ۷۲ سالگی، پس از ۳۰ روز بیماری (۲)، در نوامبر ۴۸۶ پیش از میلاد، در تخت‌جمشید درگذشت. او در سال‌های پایان عمر پُرماجرای خود، علاوه بر این‌که ناگزیر از کنارآمدن با غرور جریحه‌دار خود بود، می‌بایستی کشاکش میان فرزندان خود را نیز تحمل می‌کرد. این کشاکش در دربار ایران تازگی نداشت. داستان بردیا و کمبوجیه نیز از این دست بود. بزرگ‌ترین اختلاف اعضای خاندان سلطنت با یکدیگر بر سر انتخاب مقام ولی‌عهدی بود، که به سبب تعدد همسران، مدعیان آشکار و پنهان زیادی داشت.

Bucket list item was crossed off today! Finally made it to the Great Wall of China! It’s even more incredible and breathtaking than you would ever imagine, and though by far one of the most difficult hikes I have ever done, it was worth every single step to get the views from the high points. I did the Mutianyu section of the wall, and walked from east to west and both sides gave unique views of the mountains and wall. By the end of the walk my legs were shaking from the amount of steps climbed, so the toboggan ride back down was a great way to give them a rest and was so much fun! #travel #solotravel #solotraveller #solotravelling #budgettravel #budgettraveller #backpacking #backpacker #solobackpacker #solobackpacking #soloadventure #china #chinatravel #china🇨🇳 #travelchina #beijing #greatwallofchina #mutianyu #hike #walk #toboggan #boytravel #ancienthistory #adventure #beautifuldestinations

LiDAR – Sugar Loaf - Carmarthenshire DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage) Forcing the A483 to go around it on its way to the town of Llanwrtyd Wells (& just to the SW of, I kid you not, the Burger Queen fast food van in a layby that’s listed on Google Maps) straddling an escarpment sits the univallate contour hillfort, Sugar Loaf. The Roman Road, Margary 623 runs parallel to the A483 along the hillcrests to the southeast. Toby Driver discovered and interpreted the site in 2001 and by ariel investigation found that a terrace & small outwork defends the NE entrance. Four rock-cut house platforms overlook the rampart. You can just make them out on the oblique LiDAR.

Life-sized replica of Trajan’s column in the National Museum of Romanian History, Bucharest. The original was built in 113 CE to commemorate the Emperor Trajan’s victory in the Dacian wars. The real one is in Rome. The column is disassembled into panels which are around eye-level, so that museum visitors can get a closer look at the famous spiral bas relief. This choice in presentation allows you to really appreciate the incredible detail on the monument. #trajan #trajanscolumn #rome #romanempire #roman #dacianwars #nationalmuseumofromanianhistory #art #museum #column #basrelief #marble #casts #classics #classical #classicalstudies #classicalcivilisation #ancient #ancienthistory #antiquity #arthistory #victory #battle #war #romanarmy #romanart #romanarchitecture #archaeology #bucharest #romania

The Abu Simbel temples are two massive rock temples at Abu Simbel, a village in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt, near the border with Sudan. They are situated on the western bank of Lake Nasser, about 230 km southwest of Aswan. The complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the 'Nubian Monuments', which run from Abu Simbel downriver to Philae (near Aswan). The twin temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC, during the 19th dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Ramesses II. They serve as a lasting monument to the king and his queen Nefertari, and commemorate his victory at the Battle of Kadesh. Their huge external rock relief figures have become iconic. _ The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 under the supervision of a Polish archaeologist, Kazimierz Michałowski, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary or they would have been submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the River Nile.

1942 Volkswagen Beetle, the oldest buggy on Earth. In a hidden corner of a dusty garage, nestled beneath a tattered canvas cover, rested a weathered 1942 Volkswagen Beetle, known affectionately as "Ol' Buggy." With its rounded silhouette and vintage charm, it held the distinguished title of the oldest buggy on earth. Ol' Buggy's story began during the turmoil of World War II, where it had dutifully served its purpose as a reliable mode of transportation. After surviving the ravages of war, it found itself in the possession of an adventurous soul named Amelia. With a heart full of wanderlust, Amelia decided to give Ol' Buggy a second lease on life. #oldphotos #historydaily #historyinpictures #history #rarephotos #vintagephotography #rare #historylovers #historyfacts #historical #ancienthistory #historicalphotos #oldphoto #rarehistorypohotos #american #usa

Silversmiths have been skilfully hand-crafting silver objects and jewellery in China for over 2000 years. While earlier pieces are rare because the precious metal was often melted down to use as currency, export pieces in the West became popular after 1800. This bowl and cover from the Tang dynasty (618–907) was inspired by Persian serving bowls. The pair is covered in gold leaf with traditional designs of lotus and pomegranates executed with the flat chasing technique, where patterns were created by impressing outlines into the silver so that no silver is cut away from the surface and the weight of the piece remains intact. In our Summer 2024 issue, curator Peter Kaellgren details the Royal Ontario Museum’s extensive collection of Chinese silver comprising of historic pieces and Chinese export silver. To order, visit artsofasia.com/back-issues .

I love this time of year when I start researching curriculum tho it can be overwhelming since I rarely stick to a specific company except for language arts The Good and Beautiful is my to go too and I highly recommend them. Mystery of History has always been on my radar. Unfortunately I’m noticing a decline in homeschooling reviews once your children get older. Luckily for me I have been blessed to have found my tribe of veteran homeschooling parents. I might go ahead and start making review videos for high school curriculum. So The Mystery of History is a family style curriculum but different projects for each age groups. So who is ready for 4 years of learning World History?!! #homeschooling #homeschoolcurriculum #homeschoolhistory #mysteryofhistory #ancienthistory

What's new on my bookshelf lately... A few passages from The Mystic Rose II & Oak Island, Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. ..."But darkness is not the absence of light, but rather its womb. As we observe through nature, life must always find a way...and so too must the spirit of Art...." ..."This is the point of reconciliation-the reconciliation within the mind, body, and soul of the dual aspects of light and shadow, life and death, active and passive, good and evil...space and time; one must seek to understand these principles of duality. But through equilibrium, one must immerse oneself into the sacredness of total unity, the Monad of a Universal Experience...." - The Creative Expression, Notes On The Grand Symphony of Light by Ernest J. Rose _ ..."Father's story of our families' involvement in Freemason activities is confusing and lengthy. He has promised that as I read the journals of my ancestors who have gone before me that I will begin to understand the enormity of my journey. He has put into my safekeeping a small chest of journals that reach back hundreds of years requesting that I begin with the oldest. It is only then that I will understand what the Freemasons and the Templars before them have kept hidden and the efforts taken to preserve it..." ..."I saw the lights again. Could be an ill omen. The right one descended upon my winter lodge and behold there stood the likeness of Amon. He was of common dress and medium height; he had about the eyes shown a light blue. He spake unto me in the tongue of the people. "Can ye understand me?" I replied, "Yea, but thou speaketh not of my native tongue, English." He then spake unto me in English saying, "Our Lord has again need of thee. Take up thy belongings and depart in haste to the river of the Mohawks..." - The History Of The Oak Island Mystery & The Background Of The Cremona Document and Sinclair/Weymss Journals by Scott Wolter & Don Ruh

ITALY, Ferrara (Duchy). Ercole l d'Este, 1471-1505. Third emission, struck 1493 With a fascinating multileveled symbology this silver Idra was, even in the renaissance, very nuanced and projected a powerful message. Today this coin, struck by the Duke Ercole I. d'Este (1471-1505) of Ferrara in 1493, is known as one of the most interesting numismatic pieces of the Italian renaissance. While the obverse shows an expressive, yet relatively standard portrait in a fine contemporary style, the reverse hosts a fearsome depiction of the seven-headed hydra of Greek myth. In a fascinating 2017 essay entitled A Roman Monster in the Humanist Imagination, Margaret Meserve enumerates the many connections between the Duke, Hercules, and the Hydra. In fact, the author also goes on to describe how, in a similar manner to Roman emperors like Commodus, the Duke actually “invoked [Hercules] as an alter ego” repeatedly (p.136). At the base level, the connection between the Duke and the Hydra was based solely on his name, as the monster was killed by Hercules. Furthermore, he struck this particular coin to commemorate the draining of the swamps as attested to by his courtiers Pellegrino Prisciani and Giovanni Sabadino degli Arienti (p.137). It is also a distinct possibility, yet one which is less accepted, that the Hydra represented Ferrara’s enemy Venice. #ancient  #coin  #coins  #numismatic  #numismatics  #italy  #numismatica  #antico  #collection #rarecoins #munzen   #ancientnumismatics #ancienthistory   #numismatique #auction

❗️ST. CLOUD STATE UNIVERSITY LEADERS ARE PROPOSING MAJOR BUDGET CUTS TO PROGRAMS AND FACULTY TO ADDRESS A BUDGET DEFICIT! ✨ In a meeting with faculty on Monday, SCSU administrators recommended discontinuing 46 of the university’s 136 degree programs, including history, Spanish, gender and women’s studies, sociology, etc. They also proposed cutting 50 of 85 minor degrees, including African American and American Indian studies. Fifty-seven faculty positions would be cut, or 13 percent of the total. The cuts are necessary to address a structural budget deficit. The recommendations aren’t yet final, as the faculty union will respond to the administration with its comments within the next 10 days. ➡️ Read more on the link in bio! #SASA #Closing #ClosingDepartment #SignThePetition #Petition #Ancient #DigitalHumanities #Archaeology #Anthropology #AncientStudies #AncientWorld #History #AncientHistory #Announcement

[ad-pr product] . Today is the start of the #tandemreadalong for ‘The Temple of Fortuna’ by @elodielharper which coincides with the release of the Paperback version. This is the third book in the Wolf Den Trilogy which I absolutely love!! If you haven’t read any of these books yet, you’re in for a real treat. The description of Pompeii and it’s ‘everyday’ life is so vivid, the city almost jumps off the page!! It has definitely renewed my interest in Pompeii and now I feel like I just have to visit! . Over the next week I’ll be updating my stories with challenges from the readalong as well as sharing posts from my fellow bookstagrammers who are also taking part!! . I cannot wait to start this… . . . #headofzeus #tandemcollectiveuk #thetempleoffortuna #thetempleoffortunareadalong #tandemreadalong #ancientrome #pompeii #thewolfdentrilogy #elodieharper #historicalfiction #ancienthistory
