Just outside Palmela, on a rocky ridge above fields of wildflowers, lie some of Portugal’s most extraordinary Neolithic tombs: the rock-cut caves of Quinta do Anjo.
Carved by hand into solid rock over 5,000 years ago, these ancient burial chambers still echo with mystery and reverence.

The Roman Aqueduct of Pont du Gard

Got all excited seeing a summer movie coming called “The Phoenician Scheme." Right away thought of a heist movie where ancient Phoenicians were scamming Egypt or the Seleucids or something.
Seems to not be about ancient Phoenicians at all. Sad.

I found this quote in a 1923 book from Cambridge University, with the rather ambitious title A History of Chinese Literature:
"In the Golden Age they had the two famous calendar trees, representations of which have come down to us in sculpture, dating from about A.D. 150. One of these trees put forth a leaf every day for fifteen days, after which a leaf fell off daily for fifteen more days. The other put forth a leaf once a month for half a year, after which a leaf fell off monthly for a similar period. With these trees growing in the courtyard, it was possible to say at a glance what was the day of the month, and what was the month of the year. But civilisation proved unfavourable to their growth, and the species became extinct."
It sounds like something Pablo Neruda would come up with! Accurate or not, this is why I love reading history.

The Valle Sagrado (Sacred Valley) is one of the most stunning regions in Peru, located near Cusco. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, ancient Inca ruins, and vibrant villages, the valley was once a key area of agricultural production for the Inca Empire. It’s home to iconic sites like Ollantaytambo, Pisac, and Moray.
