#Archaeologist, got a hat (no whip though). Once known as "Yunus" among Bedouins. Demanding a revival of the venerable profession of the #ExpeditionPainter.

Archaeological interpretation is the consequence of all available data, considering every known source to create a narrative. While in contrast pseudoarchaeology usually starts with a narrative, incorporating fitting sources, but leaves out what does not support this narrative.
Long time no #Pompeii news, right? 😉 This time it's the discovery of a "waiting room" outside the "Villa of the Mysteries", where client would wait for an appointment with the "dominus", the master and wealthy patron of the house: archaeology.org/news/2025/09/3…
Another New Kingdom fortress discovered in north Sinai. One of several that protected the "Way of Horus" route connecting the eastern Nile Delta with the southern Levant.

Although fieldwork at #Göbeklitepe is closing down, this doesn’t mean that work stops. We’ll be assessing data, preparing papers, and planning for 2026. All part of a responsible research process. We also have a #TaşTepeler exhibition in Berlin to look forward to. Exciting times
Jens Notroff's magnificent drawings again ✨️
This can be even extended, since apparently in #PPN iconography almost all animals seem to have been depicted as encountered by humans in the wild: large animals (like e.g. boars and birds) in side view, smaller ones (snakes, scorpions, other insects) in top view.
"Italian photographers Stefano Corso and Dario-Jacopo Laganá travelled more than 8,000 km by car, took 10,000 photos and visited more than 200 former military locations, all with one goal: to document the physical traces of the Red Army in Germany." Marcel Krueger on a project…
Das scheint ja eine erfolgreiche Kampagne am #GöbekliTepe gewesen zu sein - bin sehr gespannt auf die Auswertung der neuen Geophysik-Untersuchungen (und freue mich sehr, dass nun auch @FU_Berlin und @oeai_oeaw vor Ort mitforschen): turkiyetoday.com/culture/turkiy…
Einmal wie Kaiser Commodus durch den #Geheimgang ins #Kollosseum in #Rom schleichen? - Geht jetzt! Ab 27.10. ist der Gang von Montag bis Mittwoch nun für Besucherinnen und Besucher zugänglich: tagesspiegel.de/gesellschaft/s… via @Tagesspiegel
In the documentary ‘Among Thieves,’ archaeologist Gino Caspari poses as a buyer to trace looted artifacts from northwestern China to dealers in Hong Kong
Turns out: Some of these T-pillars *do* have faces. 🙌
📍 Karahantepe’de yürütülen kazılarda, ilk kez insan yüzü betimli bir T biçimli dikilitaş gün yüzüne çıkarıldı! Prof. Dr. Necmi Karul’un başkanlık ettiği kazılarda, Göbeklitepe kültüründe daha önceki örneklerde insanı temsil ettiği düşünülen dikilitaşlar, bu keşifle birlikte…
Huge if true. 🙌 (Pun intended, sorry not sorry. 😉)
What may be the largest recorded Neo-Assyrian lamassu (winged bull) has been unearthed in the ancient city of Nineveh, Mosul, Iraq. It was found in the remains of the throne room built by King Esarhaddon (681-669 B.C.) and is six meters (20 feet) high. aina.org/news/202509201…
The first rule of conspiracy club: Any evidence that refutes the conspiracy is part of the conspiracy.
#GobekliTepe‘s monumental T-pillars are actually giant #anthropomorphic sculptures. Got to admit that in the beginning of my work there, more than 12 yrs ago, I found it quite ... challenging to recognize this likeness. Until we finally excavated the 'hands & loincloth' part ...
Serious question: What's "civilization"? 🤔
If civilization really began 6,000 years ago… then Göbekli Tepe shouldn’t exist.
