My photo shows a set of Late Iron Age glass gaming pieces displayed on a sandy surface in a display case at the British Museum. The set is made up of 24 coloured glass domes; six each of white, yellow, blue, and translucent green glass. One of the yellow pieces is out of shot in my photo. Each game piece is decorated with five inset spiral motifs in a contrasting colour. Nearly all pieces are uniform in shape; domed with a slightly pointed apex and a flattened base. Dimensions approximately 2.57 cm diameter and 2.2 cm height. The gaming pieces were recovered from a richly-furnished Late Iron Age cremation burial in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, when it was disturbed during the construction of two gas-pipe trenches during the building of the Panshangar Estate in 1965.

Gorgeous glass gaming pieces from Iron Age Britain! 🤩

This unique set of 24 coloured glass domes with flattened base and spiral decoration may have been used for a game similar to ludo some 2,000 years ago.

What today’s information superhighway shows me is how much incompetence there is across all sectors. I’m sure there always has been, we just didn’t know about it in the limited snail-pace days

Exactly

I ditched the Wild Dark Shore, a catalogue of poor decisions and avoidable difficulties. Now reading this. Brilliant

Brilliant. Wish I'd been there

I think the idea of those who invented the categories is that people born in a particular period, where certain global (more like Western) conditions existed, all have the same consequences, views, economic situation etc. In other words it's bollocks

Ooh, great idea, would love to meet for a chat

Yes, there aren't as many interested in having a good chat about this and that. Mostly seems to be a lot of grandstanding. Plus other platforms are all adverts and manipulated chronology

Ooh, well done. Decorating has been on hold for a while, must get on with painting the bathroom ceiling then lay the carpet I've had for about a year. Just started doing some work in the garden, relocating the compost bin. Book group read is below, struggling a bit

I haven't seen you for ages. Mind you, I don't come here very often. I'm really disappointed with all social media nowadays. It used to be fun

Since when? 😏

Yes, he shares a lot of features with Henry VIII

Well done, Hungary. Made it count

And what's Ed Davey up to?

Apparently not...

If he’s not declared war, then surely what he’s doing is terrorism

Keep buying the pens!

Having an expensive camera does not make people a good photographer. They just think they are 😏

I know, I'm freezing!

AI - a statistical summary of the past masquerading as a window into the future.

David William Silva

Yes, interesting. My perception is that those in the past were better from a capability perspective even if I didn't share their political visions

Why refusing AI is a fight for the soul Author Thomas Dekeyser explains why modern resistance to Big Tech is a deeply sane response to a narrow vision of humanity.
