A Mayan monkey tail spiral design, often found on Classic Period (300–850 AD) polychrome ceramics, primarily symbolizes the mythological transformation of the Hero Twins' older half-brothers into monkeys. It represents a blend of punishment, artistry, and the cyclical nature of life. The Popol Vuh Transformation: According to the Maya creation epic, the Hero Twins (Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué) tricked their arrogant older brothers, Hun Batz and Hun Chuen, into climbing a tree. The tree grew impossibly high, and when they tried to climb down, their sashes turned into tails. The spiral tail is a direct reference to this transformation moment. Following their transformation, the monkey brothers became the divine patrons of artists, scribes, musicians, and sculptors. Therefore, the motif often signifies creativity and the arts. The spiral itself, sometimes called Hunab Ku in this context, represents the continuous movement of energy, transformation, and the balance of the cosmos.

Who was a good boi?

Map of Bankside from the 1550s, showing two animal baiting arenas, ponds and kennels with dogs next to the river.

Bankside, London was an Early Modern entertainment hub, best known for its Shakespearean theatres #WorldTheatreDay
Perhaps more popular, however, was animal baiting, and there were more 'bear gardens' on the banks of the Thames than playhouses.

All the #archeology we have lost because of these idiot wars. Heartbreaking.

The streets around the Barcelona Post Office are opened up to expose the old infrastructure that was buried many years ago. I got this shot yesterday and I believe they are turning the P.O. into a museum and keeping these streets open for tourists. #history #archeology #barcelona #photography
