When my doughters had the Romans as subject in school, after visiting the old roman city of Augusta Raurica, they built oil lamps out of clay, and we used them quite a time. It‘ a a nice warm light.

Jesus actually told the soldiers he thirsted, they then raised it on a sponge and pressed it to his lips. It is important to note that he did not swallow it in order to fulfill his word and the prophecy of Isaiah. He then gave his last breath marking the finished prophecy and with His death.

Fantastic old keep. I love how much original detail is left. I am supposing the crenelations would be more like windows here, as the building has a roof over the main defensive top floor. Would be great to reopen the proper main entrance.

In some dialects of northern Italy the term puska has remained to indicate a drink. It is the wine that is obtained by throwing water on the lees after pressing. It reaches a maximum of 5 degrees and is acidic and slightly fizzy. Nowadays few produce it because no one likes it. The mixture of water and vinegar has always been used in the summer by workers in the fields because it is thirst-quenching and the water is made drinkable. A few drops were used and sometimes a vinegar flavored with herbs. Today everyone is on tractors with air conditioning and drinking Coca Cola

Interesting. In Bohemia and Moravia, there were many more of these "tower houses" (called "tvrze") than castles, but those were abodes of the lesser nobility or impoverished member of the elite, not dukes.

what exactly were these supposed to defend against? they seem too small to hold more than a few dozen people at most, and it would be cramped at that point. Against bandits or a hundred attackers or so maybe?

It was more about an anti-banditry project. But if it was built in some swampy area and with some earthen ramparts... And one imported thing - the original (and only) entrance to the tower would be in the ground+1/+2 for security reasons, not on the ground level. Only later, in the times of guns did this change.

This completely hides the truth folks. They have us focused on these toilets from these sub par "castles" castles that look basic or ugly because the idea of pooping out a hole into the wind seems more fitting. For such an ugly castle but.. What about the gargantuan monestaries and cathedrals other absolutle jaw dropping beautiful ancient buildings that have near perfect symmetry in all its aspects...yet no toilet? Such advanced smart engineers of he time. It takes high levels of math and geometry an precision. On top of that alot of ancient structures were made from giant single whole pieces of granite. That means NOT A SINGLE MISTAKE could be afforded in such a creation.... Yet you mean to tell me the builders after having done all that decicded to settle with POOPING AND PEEING OUT A elevated HOLE into open air??? Or tossing poop an pee out a window?? Wtf?

Sometimes the executioner swords had three holes at the tip. In the manga Innocent, it is said that they help correct edge alignment because they would whistle if the edge was off during the cut, but I haven't found any sources backing it up What do you think the holes could be for?
@APinchOfHistory
@APinchOfHistory 4 ай бұрын
That's a good question. Judging by experience the idea from this manga is unfortunately made up. There is a lot of similar theories regarding swords and that's way to far-fetched. However, what were they for then? Well, no one knows exactly, but the best idea I came across is that it was for attaching special weights to the top of the blade. It was extremely important that the execution was carried out in one swing and you can see the whole sword was designed to have as much mass as possible towords the end so that theory alligns with ideas behind the design of the sword itself.

They've found some ruins of a Norse Heathen temple (hof/hov) preserved several years ago in Norway, so scholars can definitively say that the layout, and function of the stave churches are very different in spite of the Norse influences in the woodwork. One of the reasons the stave churches would have not had a lot of windows or light when they were Catholic churches Catholic doctrine wanted you to think about darkness, sin, and damnation a lot, similar to how the Ancient Greeks would demonstrate in drama the worst sins of characters that you wouldn't want to make your role models, so that you wouldn't want to commit those sins in the first place (catharsis). But, after The Reformation the Lutherans wanted more light, and brighter, white, and tan colors, and windows in churches because they wanted believers to think of Christ as a being that brings light, and positive feelings around salvation when you look at the interior. The two cats i.e. "lions" guarding the entrance could be some kind of indirect reference to the Norse goddess Freya who had two cats that pulled her chariot in Norse Mythology. But, priests, and missionaries that had been to Byzantium, and Pre-Classical Greek ruins could have seen the twin lions statues guarding the gates of Mycenae, and incorporated that into the design.

Thanks. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said. However, regarding the design of the churches and it's darkness/brightness I would say the ideological reasons, though valid, are secondary to the practical ones. It's to say in nortern Europe early and high medieval churches had few and small windows in order to keep the warmth inside (the technology was limited, for the most part glass was unobtainable or hard to get) and by the time Lutherans came to be glass for the windows was way more widespread so you could afford building big windows.
