A Neo-Babylonian royal inscription of Nebuchadnezzar II on a stele from Babylon, claimed to have been found in the 1917 excavation by Robert Koldewey, and of uncertain authenticity, reads: “Etemenanki Zikkurat Babibli [Ziggurat of Babylon] I made it, the wonder of the people of the world, I raised its top to heaven, made doors for the gates, and I covered it with bitumen and bricks.” (From Wikipedia, “Etemenanki”)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My parents were raised on farms on the prairies. Their ancestors came from the British Isles and Holland. Old photos (like the one above of my mother’s parents) make grandparents look remote and austere. Yet they were down-to-earth, tough, hard-working, and above all friendly.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In Carlyle, Saskatchewan, with my mother's mother. Maisie loved to chat over coffee, play cards, grow her own vegetables, and do her own baking (my eyes mist up when I think of the summers we spent at her cabin — and the smell and taste of her jam cookies … soft, buttery…). She stayed in her home till her mid-nineties, and she lived happily till she was 99.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Destruction of Leviathan, Gustave Doré, 1864. Also from Wikipedia ("Leviathan"): "Sea serpents figure prominently in the mythology of the Ancient Near East. They are attested by the 3rd millennium BCE in Sumerian iconography depicting the god Ninurta overcoming a seven-headed serpent. It was common for Near Eastern religions to include a Chaoskampf: a cosmic battle between a sea monster representing the forces of chaos and a creator god or culture hero who imposes order by force."</image:caption>

      <image:caption>From Wikipedia: “The lamp at the center of the nave is called Galileo's lamp, because a legend says that the great scientist formulated his theory of isochronism of the pendulum while watching its oscillations from the roof of the nave. The original, however, smaller and very different than this one, is found today in the Camposanto.” Still, the lamp in the Cathedral makes one think about religion, astronomy, and the history of human knowledge.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Men Laden With Tea, Sichuan Sheng, China 1908 Ernest H. Wilson. From Wikimedia Commons: “As recently as the first decades of the 20th century, much of the tea transported by the ancient Tea-Horse Road was carried not by mule caravan, but by human porters, giving real substance to the once widely-employed designation ‘coolie’, a term thought to have been derived from the Chinese kuli or ‘bitter labour’. […] Fortunately some black-and-white images of these incredibly wiry, tough, hard-bitten men have come down to us from Sichuan, as well as at least one 150-year-old French-made lithograph from Yunnan, in addition to some rare oral accounts describing the immense difficulties these hardy wretches had to face. In the latter category, as recently as 2003 China Daily carried an interview with four former tea porters in Ganxipo Village, near Tianquan County to the southwest of Ya’an. Now in their 80s, these veterans recall hard times before the completion of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway in 1954 when they would carry almost impossibly heavy loads of Sichuan Pu’er tea over a narrow mountain trail across the freezing heights of Erlang Shan (‘Two Wolves Mountain’) to Luding and onwards, across the Dadu River, to the tea distribution centre at Kangding.” The original can also be seen at the Ernest Henry Wilson’s photograph : Two men laden with tea, Szechuan China, 1908 site at Harvard.

Jan 2017–May 2019: from fact checker Daniel Dale's weekly chart published in Toronto Star. Color gradients (violet changing to orange) show the full range of possible "False Statements" resulting when the Toronto Star's weekly data was converted to monthly data.

This wall slab was originally painted for the interior walls of Ashurbanipal's palace at Ninevah. At the top, the overwhelming wave of the Assyrian army storms the Egyptian fortress tries to set fire to the gate and undermines the walls.

      <image:caption>Destruction of Leviathan, Gustave Doré, 1864. Also from Wikipedia ("Leviathan"): "Sea serpents figure prominently in the mythology of the Ancient Near East. They are attested by the 3rd millennium BCE in Sumerian iconography depicting the god Ninurta overcoming a seven-headed serpent. It was common for Near Eastern religions to include a Chaoskampf: a cosmic battle between a sea monster representing the forces of chaos and a creator god or culture hero who imposes order by force."</image:caption>

Science, and particularly geometry and astronomy/astrology, was linked directly to the divine for most medieval scholars. The compass in this 13th century manuscript is a symbol of God's act of Creation. God has created the universe after geometric and harmonic principles, to seek these principles was therefore to seek and worship God.

      <image:caption>Amitāyus Buddha in His Paradise. Tibet, circa 1700. Amitayus, the Buddha of Eternal Life, is also known as Amitabha, one of the five Cosmic Buddhas of Esoteric Buddhism. He is shown in his paradise, Sukhavati, the Western Pure Land, enthroned beneath a flowering tree festooned with strands of jewels and auspicious symbols. To either side the sky is filled with throngs of ecstatic demigods who bear offerings and scatter flowers. Seated below are the eight great bodhisattvas, and between them are two large, low tables covered with offerings. To either side are the vast assembled audiences who receive Amitayus’s message. At the bottom, set within a vast panoramic landscape, are courtyards, giant lotus flowers, and pools from which the purified are being reborn. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Source/Photographer.

      <image:caption>From Wikimedia (colour-enhanced by RYC): A crystal-clear sky on any night is always a joy to behold. But if you are on the Chajnantor Plateau, at 5000 metres altitude in the Chilean Andes and one of the best places in the world for astronomical observations, it could be an experience that you’ll remember for your whole life. This panoramic view of Chajnantor shows the antennas of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) against a breathtaking starry night sky. In the foreground, we can see some of ALMA’s antennas, working together. The plateau appears curved, because of the effect of the wide-angle lens used. ALMA is the world’s most powerful telescope for studying the Universe at submillimetre and millimetre wavelengths. Construction work for ALMA will be completed in 2013, and a total of 66 of these high-precision antennas will be operating on the site. At the moment, the telescope is in its initial phase of Early Science Observations. Even though it is not fully constructed, the telescope is already producing outstanding results, outperforming all other submillimetre arrays. In the sky above the antennas, countless stars shine like distant jewels. Two other familiar celestial objects also stand out. First, the image is crowned by the Moon. Second, outshone by the glow of the Moon, it is possible to distinguish the Milky Way as a hazy stripe across the sky. Dark regions within the band are areas where the light from background stars is blocked by interstellar dust.

      <image:caption>A covered sedan chair being carried by eight or nine men, wearing white with various coloured sashes and turbans. One of six figures from the Mughal emperor's ceremonial procession on the occasion of the Id, 1840. This Company Painting is from a set of six depicting scenes from the Mughal emperor's ceremonial procession on the occasion of the Muslim Id festival. The painting is possibly by Mazhar Ali Khan and dates from about 1840, during the reign of the last emperor and King of Delhi, Bahadur Shah II (r.1838-1858). The picture shows an empty covered sedan or carrying-chair for the queen or ladies of the first rank; it is carried by nine men, with three other attendants, one of whom holds a large sun-shade. The Id festival is celebrated at the end of the month of Ramazan. Collection: Victoria and Albert Museum. Source. (From Wikimedia Commons).</image:caption>

At the top, the overwhelming wave of the Assyrian army storms the Egyptian fortress tries to set fire to the gate and undermines the walls.

      <image:caption>Free translation from the French by RYC (from Jean Bottéro's translation from the cuneiform in L’Épopée de Gilgamesˇ / The Epic of Gilgamesh). The original French version includes line breaks as well as parentheses to show where words were added in order to make the meaning more clear to modern readers: "(Mais) toi, (le plus) sage des dieux, / (Le plus) vaillant, / Comment as-tu pu, (aussi) inconsidérément, / Décider le Déluge? / Fais porter sa coulpe / Au (seul) coupable, / Et son péché, / Au (seul) pécheur! / (Ou alors), au lieu de les supprimer, / Pardonne-leur, / Ne les [anéantis pas] : / Sois-leur clément!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Adda Seal, an ancient Akkadian cylinder seal showing (from left to right) Inanna, Utu, Enki, and Isimud (circa 2300 BC). “The figures can be identified as gods by their pointed hats with multiple horns. The figure with streams of water and fish flowing from his shoulders is Ea (Sumerian Enki), god of subterranean waters and of wisdom. Behind him stands Usimu, his two-faced vizier (chief minister). / At the centre of the scene is the sun-god, Shamash (Sumerian Utu), with rays rising from his shoulders. He is cutting his way through the mountains in order to rise at dawn. / To his left is a winged goddess, Ishtar (Sumerian Inanna). The weapons rising from her shoulders symbolise her warlike characteristics.” 19 November 2011, The British Museum Collections, Source: Version 1 Version 2 (Wikimedia Commons)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Destruction of Leviathan, Gustave Doré, 1864. Also from Wikipedia ("Leviathan"): "Sea serpents figure prominently in the mythology of the Ancient Near East. They are attested by the 3rd millennium BCE in Sumerian iconography depicting the god Ninurta overcoming a seven-headed serpent. It was common for Near Eastern religions to include a Chaoskampf: a cosmic battle between a sea monster representing the forces of chaos and a creator god or culture hero who imposes order by force."</image:caption>
