My four-part ‘Floral Artefact’ series from last summer! Etruscan boar vessel with laurel, Roman fascinus with silphium, Egyptian faience hippo with water lily, and Assyrian lamassu head with lilies.

The Quimbaya artifacts are several dozen golden objects, found in Colombia, made by the Quimbaya culture, dated around 1000 CE, a few of which (the so-called Quimbaya airplanes, one of them shown here) are supposed by ancient astronaut theorists to represent modern airplanes [400×272].

It’s almost like both insects and airplanes follow the same principles of aerodynamics and are thus shaped similarly because technological science is obligated to obey nature’s laws but “WOW ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS??? THAT SURE DOES MAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE :O” I guess

A great man who is sin-ridden can only be a great sinner. The wealthy man is not generous will be a miserly beggar. The owner of wealth is not made happy by owning it, but by spending it, and not spending it capriciously, but by knowing how to spend it well.
