Long-lost Assyrian military camp devastated by ‘the angel of the Lord’ finally found, scientist claims

At the British Museum in London, there is a relief depicting the siege of Lachish, and it shows the Assyrian camp. Stephen Compton, an independent scholar who specializes in Near Eastern Archaeology, compared this relief to photos from the early to mid-20th century which show Lachish. He identified a site north of Lachish with an oval shaped structure with walls that he thinks may have been the Assyrians’ camp.

Reenacting Memory: Waterloo 200.

There was something about this event that "haunted" me.

For weeks afterwards I would look at a new post featured more incredible photos. I could not help but look and slide down that rabbit hole.

Here are photos by @andi_springer

Our DeMeuron Regiment suffered a true loss upon arrival at the site on the Thursday.

They sought to honour him on the battlefield.

Re-enacting Memory: 9 years ago today, Day 2 of Waterloo 200.

We were defending the Hougoumont structure.

There was not much left of the walls after the battle moved away from us!

Waterloo 200 in 2015.

The first battle on the evening of the 19th.

Experienced that "oh damn!" feeling when forced to remain in square with cavalry milling nearby and infantry coming up to pound us.

Reenacting memory: Waterloo 200/2015.

Waterloo is often described as a small battlefield. 6000 reenactors viewed by 50,000+ used a small portion of the battlefield and we were swallowed by its immensity!

Did the Condemnation of 1277 Create Modern Science?

The purpose of the Condemnation of 1277 was to stomp out any thought not strictly in accord with Church doctrine, including its various miracles such as the transformation in the Eucharist. To the extent that this condemnation was actually followed, it would have led to complete intellectual stagnation.
