The King of Stonehenge’s teeth.
The Amesbury Archer was excavated near Stonehenge in 2002. This bronze age man died aged 35-45 between 2500 and 2300 BCE and was found buried with many fine arrow heads, hence the name. His burial is the richest grave of that era discovered so far, hinting at high status or wealth, though the man had survived injury and would have walked with a limp. Alongside the arrowheads other treasures were found: copper knives, pots from the Beaker culture, stone wrist guards and the earliest gold artefacts found in Britain. He was buried with a younger male, believed to be a relative as they shared a congenital illness that left traces on the skeleton. Dubbed by the press the King of Stonehenge, he is currently on display in Salisbury museum.

Meredith Dittmar, a sculptor living Portland, uses polymer clay to create intricate structures that draw lines between technology, biology, and our own consciousness. Hidden within geometric shapes, vanishing lines, and architecture, simulations of the familiar emerge, like faces and hands. Depending on how the viewer focuses and chooses to be present, new aspects of the work are revealed.

Wind Cathedral in Namib Desert!
The characteristic feature is the presence of sand dunes exhibiting a myriad range of colours from pink to orange. These dunes are not only vividly coloured but also monstrously high akin to miniaturised version of mountains, many of them being 200 meters tall. The highest one of them all is aptly named as the “Big Daddy”, standing at a height of 380 meters. These dunes have been formed over a period of a million years. They are believed to be 60-80 million years old and were formed by the Atlantic Ocean drifts that pushed the sands for eons. The sand dunes display a dynamic behaviour as in they constantly keep changing their contours and shapes due to the shifting of the wind. As a result we have:
•Transverse dunes which are long and linear formed by prevalent winds
•Star dunes which have multiple ridges formed by multi-directional winds
•Barchan dunes which are formed by uni-directional winds and which are also the most mobile of them all.

In 2013, archaeologists made a morbid discovery in an ancient Maya city in Mexico - a mass grave of dismembered and decapitated skeletons. The mass grave was estimated to be approximately 1,400 years old and contained the remains of 24 people. Hatchet marks were discovered on the cervical vertebrae and most limbs had been severed. Out of the 24 bodies, just two were women. It was noted that some of the skulls contained jade tooth decorations which indicated high social status.
