Greetings everyone. I\u2019m writing this from my phone, which is doable, but a little clunky. One problem is that I can\u2019t see image attributions from the image library, so I apologise in advance that I didn\u2019t credit the photographer who took the title image.<\/p>\n
Anyway, back to the gems from the good place. Here we go:<\/p>\n
Too soon?<\/p>\n
Cool selfie<\/p>\n
What a wonderful thing to just find<\/p>\n
The oldest known map in the world <\/p>\n
This Babylonian tablet is the oldest known map of a culture\u2019s world. The Euphrates runs top to bottom with Babylon the horizontal rectangle. Other circles depict cities & peoples. Mesopotamia is surrounded by the \u201cbitter sea\u201d & foreign lands shown as triangular mountains.\ud83d\udd70\ufe0fC9th-7th BC\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0fBM\ud83d\udcf7 mine<\/p>\n
