Nazi Motorcycles

Who knows their motorcycles?   I noticed this on the street in Gythion.  My first thought knowing how proud the Greeks are of their resistance to the German invasion and occupation is that this is a war trophy.  I have seen this before in towns on Crete, BMW motorcycles proudly displayed in front of shops as a monument to their expulsion of the Nazi occupiers.  But that was decades ago and I don't remember the details of the models used by Germany during World War II.

About Musings

-

     There is much to talk about and I am launching this platform to talk about much. On these pages, I want to explore the world, ancient and modern. In this day, with so much information, I hope to be able to provide informed opinions and share discoveries I have and will make from my small sphere of knowledge. At times I will be skeptical, cynical, and downright incredulous about some things circulating in the news and on social media.  I will present ideas, some controversial, others in praise of recent discoveries and advances in science.  There is simply a lot that needs to be said about the state of the world these days, and a lot that is said that needs to be challenged. I and my friends (likely those who are reading this) are in possession of esoteric, unique, and informed wisdom and thus, it seems to me that one more Blog platform that reaches out and engages people with these insights and perspectives is neither superfluous nor redundant. The cacophony of ideas pushing on socially unacceptable norms will harmoniously challenge our willingness to accept those that want us to be complacent about the state of the world.  This is an experiment that I hope you enjoy and contribute to as one more voice aimed at bringing forth a new Enlightenment as we try to gain momentum for a better world. 

     Here, on the pages of Musings, we will share ideas that stimulate conversations about what was and what will be, and what it means to the collective us. I will bring a lot of my experiences gained by studying the ruins of ancient civilizations, working with diverse peoples around the globe, from witnessing firsthand dysfunctional societies, free societies, and from those politically repressed. I speak from the pain of someone who has been in court combatting corruption and injustice in the government, from someone who violated orders as a police officer in pursuit of a higher good, and from someone who has stumbled into revolutions and seen freedom erode beneath my feet. 

    There is a lot to say, a lot to do if we are going to save this world and build a better more just world that is dedicated to minimizing suffering and insecurity and fostering knowledge, education, freedom, and empowerment of every person regardless of who they are, what their background is, and where they are from.

Treading on Ghosts

 I think every archaeologist walks around plagued by the curiosity of what lies underfoot!      Increasingly we are seeing archaeological features left in situ with modern surfaces constructed from transparent materials to allow the casual passer-by to experience that sensation of the history that lies beneath their feet. One of my mentors, Martin Carver, published Underneath English Towns: Interpreting Urban Archaeology  in which he explored the dimensions of archaeological data that underlies our modern world.  It is easy for us to live in the moment and forget that we work and live upon a foundation made of ghosts of past lives and lost ages. England has always been a leader in integrating archaeological discoveries as part of the urban geography, but it is perspective that is catching on globally.            The tradition of urban planning has been to destroy, bury, or relegate archaeological sites to a fenced off tour...

Does Matterport Matter to Archaeology?

        As promised, I have conducted my first test of a Matterport camera on on outdoor archaeological site.  We know it is good for tombs and the like but outdoors does pose some problems. I cannot wait to test it some more, but I did learn a few lessons.  Notes for use; 1) I shot the images at about 5:30am a perfect time.  By 6:30 the sun was starting to get strong and it was more difficult for the sensor to align the images. 2) I did it hasty so that means the halfa grass was thick, holes were hidden, and it was a bit treacherous.  When going about a formal non-test case, make sure you do the preliminary work of clearing obstacles and anything you don't want in the model.  Note my police escort appears in various places in the distance. 3) keep your points close, I think 1-2 m intervals. 4) Choose your elevation.  Because it is a large structure I set the tripod at a high level.  If you are more interested in t...

How will the destruction of Ukrainian Cities be Documented?

Sack of Jerusalem, in this part of Titus' triumphal procession on the Arch of Titus in Rome, the treasures of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem are  displayed to the Roman people.        When we tell the story of the present to the future, how will we do it?   If we go back far enough in the past we rely on the mute stones of archaeology to teach us how cities and civilizations met their doom. As the written word took hold, history was often fortunate enough to have a chronicler who could share the drama of the past through vivid descriptions of the ruin of cities, whether by the hand of God or Man. The quality and accuracy of such accounts vary depending on the level of knowledge and experience of the author and their political motivation. Consider Josephus' (Book 6) description of the sack of Jerusalem by the Roman forces of Titus in 70 A.D. as compared to the more glorious depiction on the Triumphant Arch of Titus. But when they went in numbers into th...
