2016 | This #silver rhyton discovered at #Deylaman, Northern #Iran. The inscription as well as leading art #historians identify the #artefact as representing #Durga #Mahishasuramardini
Interestingly, it gives new insights into the high-quality production of silver icons

Its provenance is taken to be in Eastern #Afghanistan It was looted during the #Arab #Muslim raids on #Shahi and #Zunbil kingdoms of South Eastern Afghanistan in the latter half of seventh century. Its provenance beyond the #Hindu Kush is not surprising as #archaeology attests to

👀💭My video from the #archaeological discovery made on the #Miami River. The findings include 7,000-year-old spearheads, abundant evidence of indigenous settlements in the area dating back to the time of the emergence of the 1st cities in #Mesopotamia, & before the Roman Empire.
👀💭 P1: Quote from the site: "You're going back to the time of the emergence of the first cities in #Mesopotamia. It's thousands of years before the Roman Republic and the #Roman Empire. By any measure, this is an early manifestation of human activity. This is legitimately old."
👀💭 P2: Although the dig is not yet complete on the #Miami River's south bank just west of the #Brickell Avenue bridge, are already recasting what #anthropologists and #historians thought they knew about the presence of prehistoric and #indigenous people here. #Archaeology
Part 3 of this analysis of @TimothyDSnyder's Bloodlands exposes his extraordinary minimization of the crimes of Hitler's Wehrmacht against the Soviet Union. 1/

Again, Snyder conceals from his readers what the historical scholarship has established: TheNazi war of annihilation against the Soviet Union was a criminal endeavor of imperialist aggression & counterrevolution, that had been prepared for by the entire German state & army. 2/
Snyder systematically trivializes the war. He falsely equates the Hunger Plan, a deliberate policy to murder 30 million Slavs by starvation, with the Soviet famine of the early 1930s, which was *not* a deliberate policy of mass murder. 3/

@linda_a_burnett's workshop done, presentations attended, scholars met, and conversations had. What have I learned? Surprising things. Here's a partial reflection histories of scientific instructions, lists & colonial travel. @UU_University, @BookScribbler, @eayers0, @dominikhhh
First off, not all lists are alike. Much can be learned by the order of items, especially when it comes to ethnographic observation. The order of observation tells us about the intellectual context from which the instruction arises. #listing #History #Science #KNOWLEDGE
But study of intellectual context takes us into other domains - of national experiences, of inter-imperial exchanges, of cross-cultural encounters and yes, so often, of violence and indifference to sufferings. #History #Empire #colonized #Violence #KnowledgeManagement
I am listening to #Starky, the #historian, who is trying his level best to defend slavery and #English #Buccaneer #William #Beckford.
William owned some 40,000 acres of #sugar plantation growing land and had thousands of enslaved #workers working on his property in #Jamaica.

No wonder the bad memories survived.
During the 1970s Manley introduced Democratic Socialism in Jamaica which was a reactionary political movement against the injustices committed by the colonialists against the Jamaican People.
Economic historians confuse that with capitalism.

Free Enterprise & Free Market Economy, with Free movement of factors of production across markets, the freedom of choice exercised in terms of either consumption or occupation, and other matters pertinent to production, prices, and distribution are value-fact dichotomy hypotheses
‘What is it like to do #book research’ —a historian’s thread about the perils and joys of the archive.

I am in Berlin almost exclusively because of a single document. It exists in only one place: Humboldt U rare books. It has not been digitized. Thus, I took a flight.

Arrived at the library today. I’d been warned I just pre-register and have a covid test, bring vaccines. No problem. Brandy rocks up to the check in with her nihilist Matrix black suit and is ready to rock. Like many archives, you are prohibited from being in outside bags.

You usually are assigned a locker. You can bring your phone and PC. Except this library required you to have your own lock. I can buy one on site! Oh. Only with coins. No card or paper cash. I go in search of cash of the coin variety. Done. Lock acquired.
Then it goes wrong.

Avoid doing superfluous degrees from top-notch academic institutions.
Most of the top academic brand names will help you up to a certain extent, but, what employers are looking for are skills earned from subjects/specializations which can add value to their brands and bottom line

Just recently saw a top-notch social science specialist school offering a degree in #history in conjunction with another excellent #Asian Uni.
The problem is that nobody wants to hire exotic #historians, unless you are applying to work in the civil services or as a journalist.

Beware.
A lot of universities are also advertising all types of degrees from financially #besmirching faculties which aren't contributing much to the university revenues.
So the vultures (FT staff) are offering degrees with a twist to lure innocent students to save their own jobs

For historians w/ a medical bent, if you could take one medicine (but not antibiotic) back in time, which one, to when, and why?

For example, H1N1 flu vaccine back to about 1910, allow a few years to convince the world it’s legit (though vaccination was known then, so that should help), and spare tens of millions around the world ravages of Spanish Flu in 1918.
Or consider the madness of King George III, rumored to have been due to porphyria, for which there is now an RNAi-based treatment. That diagnosis is now considered in error, but if were true and he had been treated, how would world history have changed? ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

1.Drin gwįįzii, shoorzri’ Crystal Gail Fraser vàazhii, History & Native Studies, University of Alberta, Treaty 6 Homeland of the Métis Nation. I am pleased to talk about “Residential Schooling Histories.” #PandemicMethodologies

Approx. 1000+ unknown, unmarked graves at Indian Residential School sites announced this week in Canada, #cowessness #kamloops. There will be many, many more. Indigenous Elders, Nations, and communities have been pointing towards these for decades. #pandemicmethodologies

Time & again most #MFDs & FT itself letting Actual Investors of these 6 schemes know that even in times of #COVID they have accumulated more than ₹11000 crores without #monetization but still few people are having unnecessary doubts. (2)
I personally believe that if #History will be written, the #historians will focus on the solution not on the problem.
Saying Yes, to both Winding Up Consent & Active #Monetization is only & solely in the best possible move for #investors. (3)

Fellow #historians, the internet is obsessed with Julie d’Aubigny, known as La Maupin - a bisexual, cross dressing, sword fighting opera singer in Louis XIV’s reign.
She seems entirely invented by the romantic writer Théophile Gautier in the 1830s. What do we *actually* know?

OK, Twitter! With your help, we've established Julie d'Aubigny, known as La Maupin, was real, did fence, did wear male clothes, and was an opera singer. But now to see if we can historicise her adventures. Interestingly, this shows up in a British newspaper in 1790...
These helpfully put some of the rumours 40 years prior to Theophile Gautier's romantic novel. We know from a French source of the same era that many untrue stories were told of her during her lifetime - are tales of prison breaks, duels to the death just scurrilous gossip?

1/ Inspired by @bobplain, here is an #OTD in #RhodeIsland history: On this day, December 19th, in 1675, a major battle in #KingPhilipsWar took place known as the #GreatSwampMassacre. This fight topped any previous brutality by English soldiers in colonial wars...
2/ ...prior like #PequotWar & #KieftsWar. Formally neutral in the war in early 1675, the #NarragansettIndians' territory had served as a safe haven 4 wounded #NativeAmerican, mostly #Wampanoag, soldiers fighting in the conflict. The #UnitedColonies...
3/ ...(aka #MassachusettsBay, @Plimoth, #Connecticut & #NewHaven) demanded the #NarragansettIndians turn over these combatants, but the natives delayed any formal response. John Easton, in his "A Relation of the Indian Warr" wrote that soon after this refusal...
