Fasincating discovery of a submerged #StoneAge hunting structure - more than 10,000 years old! These kinds of finds make us question our perception of monumentality #archaeology#scicomm
Day20 #ArtAdventCalendar Sometimes I feel "stone-agey" in #design, especially after a #hike in a very special mountain #forest. An ancient #ochre quarry is hidden on the slope. #Legends tell of a magical snake at a spring, often a reference to #geological features. There is still some eroded rock in different ochre colours.

They’ve been given carte blanche to commit war crimes. #israel#hamas#warcrimes
Der September war am Ende spieltechnisch noch ganz ok. Das super Wetter hat andere Prioritäten gesetzt. Man mag sich fast auf schlechteres Wetter freuen… 🤣
Highlights des Monats waren eine Solo-Test-Partie des Bling-Bling-BuBus und natürlich die Spiele mit der Tochter, die immer besser auch „größere“ Spiele mitspielen kann. Wenn sie dann mal lesen kann… 🤩momentan werden in der Schule noch Zahlen gespurt und Silben erhört… 💪🏻 #brettspiele@brettspiele#bgstats
