So Elon Musk may be busy throwing a tantrum, but Twitter is not quite dead yet and we have stuff to do and #archaeology to explore. So, part 4 (part 3 here if you missed it: ) #Malta
As above, so below I said last time. Let's poke around underground, for big buildings are not just above-ground. Welcome to the #Saflieni hypogeum, one of the best sites in the world. Yes, I said it and it's true.
@googlearts has a handy tour artsandculture.google.com/partner/hal-sa… but in all honesty you just need to visit. Tickets are via @heritagemalta & they sell out fast & with good reason. Book your flight to #Malta and these tickets at the same time.

If Samadhis were funerary monuments of saints in #Hindus, Chhatris were #Rajput's choice of the memorial. They made sure that the memory of the chivalry of their ancestors passed on to the next generations. Though, all Chhatris did not necessarily contain the mortal remains. 2/
Chhatri i.e. umbrella, first appeared as a canopy above the tomb in #Islamic #architecture. #Hindu kings transformed the tomb into Chhatri. By the 16th C, Rajput courts had started building Chhatris. It was a place where a noble was cremated, memorialized and later worshipped. 3/

Thanks to @kimbiddulph it’s #Archaeology31 time again! - Starting with prompt number one: #new.
Which in this case is: New year, new journal. Empty pages waiting to be filled with thoughts, notes, sketches ... opportunities.

#Archaeology31 day 2, #future, offers a great chance to highlight a topic I found particularly interesting as of late:
How will an #ArchaeologyOfTheFuture look like - What do *we* leave behind for future colleagues?
(Weekend reading recommendations included. 😉)
