Discovered: Unknown yellow colors from antiquity

Archaeologists have long known that artefacts from the Antiquity were far more colorful than one would think when looking at the bright white statues and temples, left behind for today.

The statues and buildings only appear white today because the colors have degraded over time; Initially, lots of colors were in use.

This was also true for King Apries I’s palace in Ancient Egypt. This palace was situated in the Nile Delta, and from here King Apries ruled from 589 to approx. 568 BC.

Fragments of the palace are today kept at the Glyptoteket Museum in Copenhagen, and recently they have been the focus of a collaboration between archaeologists from Glyptoteket, the British Museum, the University of Pisa and a chemist from the University of Southern Denmark. Read more.

Ra Ra Rasputin – The West Cork Ukulele Orchestra (Boney M cover)

Irish musicianship, Russian history, and a cover of a ridiculous disco song that I already adore… Sometimes the internet treats me to something so pure, I’m left utterly speechless.
