I blogged again. Sorry.
Some people have hobbies. I have compulsions. My latest? Finding 34 versions of "The Beat Goes On" and forcing them into a 2.5-hour playlist.
I wrote about this monumentally pointless achievement. Read it and question my life choices with me.

Recently I gathered about half a kilo of wild garlic (allium ursinum) ina forest nearby.
I broke down a third of it to a basic pesto with salt, sunflower seeds and olive oil.
The other two thirds will be fermented.
For that I roughly washed and then kneaded it in a bowl with 2% salt to bruise the plants.
Then i put it into a large glass jar and topped it up with some 2% salt water solution.
I put some plastic wrap on top of the wild garlic to form a somewhat airtight seal and weighed it down with a few small glass bowls.
Now it sits in my kitchen for about a week. I will then test the acidity to make sure the lacto fermentaition was sucessful.
When its done, I will use it as a topping for rice and sandwiches.

@DoomsdaysCW Another idea: In my area wild garlic (#alliumursinum, super tasty) grows first. The lily of the valley (#convallariamajalis, very poisonous) joins in later. The leaves are quite similar. To avoid confusing wild garlic leaves with the ones of the #lilyofthevalley, one can plant two or three lilys of the valley in an ideal spot in the garden (with a rhizome barrier, though!). As soon as the first leaf tips appear there, take extra care when collecting #wildgarlic.

Images In Action
Felix Meritis, Thursday, May 28 at 07:30 PM GMT+2
An evening of film and poetry on witnessing Palestine
How to bear witness to a world that burns before our eyes? Explore with us as we move between screen and street, between images and words, through film and poetry that emerged from the political struggle in solidarity with Palestine, here in Amsterdam.
Student protests have played an important role in making anti-colonial solidarity and resistance visible. The constant flow of images on social media fueled mobilization, as well as exhaustion. Join us as we watch Class Outside (Aylin Kuryel, Deniz Buga, Fırat Yücel, 2026) and Happiness (Fırat Yücel, 2025). Two films that follow how the city and the screen are inhabited, contested, and reclaimed by students who refused. And how bearing witness transforms the way we look at the world and relate to one another. You can check the trailers below.
Alongside the films, Çağlar Köseoğlu will share poems from his manuscript our love is terroristic, written for the end of this world. The screening and reading will be followed by a conversation with the artists, moderated by Koray Comert.
Films
Happiness (dir: Fırat Yücel, 18 min, 2025) unfolds as a desktop documentary, tracing the experience of living through livestreamed genocide in Palestine, digital overload, and political unrest. Moving across browser windows, messages, and fragments of everyday life, the film reflects on how screens become sites of both exhaustion and mobilization.
Class Outside (dir: Aylin Kuryel, Deniz Buga, Fırat Yücel, 30 min, 2026) shifts the focus to the street. Emerging from the student encampments and protest movements in Amsterdam, the film takes the form of a collective video diary shaped by a broad network of participants. It explores how images are produced within struggle, how they circulate, and how they sustain forms of collective attention and action.

Het antieke Jemen
Een dromedaris uit Jemen (Institut du monde arabe, Parijs)Ik ben nog nooit in Jemen geweest. En ik denk dat het ook niet meer zal gebeuren. Dus dit blogje gaat over een gebied dat ik niet ken uit eigen waarneming. Het is echter ook een gebied dat hoort bij de oude wereld, zelfs al lag het aan de uiterste grens, waar het Mediterrane handelsnetwerk aanknoopte bij het netwerk rond de Indische Oceaan. Dat maakte het antieke Jemen belangrijk.
Het was een vanouds welvarend gebied. Zó welvarend dat de Grieken en Romeinen het aanduidden als het Gelukkige Arabië. Het is te hopen dat de bewoners dat nooit hebben gehoord, want het is bekend dat zij zich niet beschouwden als Arabieren. Om te beginnen woonden de Jemenieten in steden en waren ze landbouwers; ze waren, anders dan althans een deel van de Arabieren, geen nomaden. En ze spraken geen Arabisch. Die taal, die rond 1000 v.Chr. werd gesproken in zuidelijk Syrië en Jordanië, verspreidde zich in de IJzertijd naar het zuiden, maar vooralsnog niet naar Jemen.
Jemen in de OudheidStadstaten
In de Oudheid was Jemen bekend om de geurstoffen die er vandaan kwamen, waarvan wierook het bekendste is. Na de domesticatie van de dromedaris in de tiende eeuw v.Chr. was het mogelijk die door het huidige Saoedi-Arabië te transporteren naar de Mediterrane wereld en Babylonië: de Wierookroute. Voor de handel in kaneel, afkomstig uit India, was Jemen een tussenstation.
Er waren verschillende stadstaten. Om te beginnen was daar Saba, met als hoofdsteden Marib en later Sana’a,. We kennen de namen van enkele vorsten, zoals Yatheamar (laatste kwart van de achtste eeuw v.Chr.?) Karib’il Watar (de eerste helft van de zevende eeuw). Ze worden ook genoemd in Assyrische teksten. Het beroemde Bijbelverhaal van het bezoek van de koningin van Seba – Saba dus – aan koning Salomo verwijst naar dit machtige Jemenitische koninkrijk.
Beeldje uit Saba (Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg)Ergens in de vroege vierde eeuw v.Chr. wist Ma’in zich onafhankelijk te maken van Saba, maar rond 120 v.Chr. werd het opnieuw door Saba ingelijfd. Het lijkt een koopliedenrepubliek te zijn geweest, die een grote rol speelde in de wierookhandel. Die wierook kwam uit het oosten van het Arabische Schiereiland, waar Hadramaut lag. De hier geproduceerde wierook ging per karavaan naar Ma’in, al was er ook een havenstad Qana.
Nog wat oostelijker was Zufar, zeg maar het huidige Oman. Er is nauwelijks iets bekend over dit land, want er zijn nooit teksten aangetroffen. De Grieks-Romeinse geograaf Ptolemaios van Alexandrië vermeldt een hoofdstad die hij Emporion noemt, “handelscentrum”. Die stad is wel geïdentificeerd met nederzettingen die bekend zijn uit oude teksten, zoals Ubar en Iram. Ik blogde al eens over de problemen met de identificatie.
Verder was er Qataban, met als hoofdstad Timna. Oorspronkelijk was dit een bondgenoot van Saba, maar het werd de grote rivaal. In de derde eeuw na Chr. onderwierp Qataban het zuidwesten van Jemen. Het zo vergrote koninkrijk wordt meestal Himyar genoemd en had als hoofdstad Zafar.
Een rund uit Qataban (Musée L, Louvain-la-Neuve)Handel was belangrijk, maar nog belangrijker was de landbouw. Die veronderstelde irrigatie. Elk van deze staatjes beschikte over uitgebreide waterwerken, zoals cisternen en dammen, zodat de bevolking was voorbereid op zowel droogte als de soms verwoestende overstromingen.
Geschiedenis
Een echte geschiedenis van Jemen valt niet te schrijven. We hebben heel veel teksten, maar die hebben vrijwel allemaal betrekking op de Jemenitische religie en de waterwerken. We moeten bronnen van buitenaf gebruiken, zoals de Assyrische teksten die de hierboven genoemde twee koningsnamen opleveren.
Inscriptie waarin de monotheïstische hemelgod Rahman wordt gevraagd een paleis te beschermen (Louvre, Parijs)Toen Alexander de Grote het Achaimenidische Rijk had veroverd, wilde hij met een grote vloot naar Egypte varen, en dan tussendoor Jemen onderwerpen. Hij overleed enkele dagen voordat de expeditie zou vertrekken. Hoewel deze expeditie dus nooit heeft plaatsgevonden, bewijst ze dat Jemen deel uitmaakte van een grotere wereld.
Later, in 24 v.Chr., zond de Romeinse keizer Augustus een generaal, Aelius Gallus, op expeditie om Jemen te veroveren, waarover onze bronnen melden dat die mislukte. Desalniettemin resulteerde die in de openstelling van de zeeroute van Egypte naar India. De voornaamste havens waren Al-Mukha en Aden, beide in het zuidwesten. Het lijkt erop dat deze steden zich eerst onafhankelijk wisten te maken – de haveninkomsten zullen hebben geholpen – en vervolgens dus door Qataban werden onderworpen.
Een soldaat uit Himyar (Archeologische Musea, Istanbul)Omdat Qataban, met deze steden erbij, de zeeroute controleerde, terwijl de landroute in belang afnam, overvleugelde Qataban/Himyar Saba. In de derde eeuw na Chr. verenigde Himyar, zoals gezegd, heel Jemen. De relatie tot het Romeinse Rijk, dat onderafdelingen van het Tweede Legioen Traiana Fortis en het Zesde Legioen Ferrata stationeerde op de Farasan-eilanden in de Rode Zee, is helaas onduidelijk.
Als de naam Himyar een belletje doet rinkelen, dan kan dat kloppen. In de Late Oudheid regeerde hier de joodse koning Dhu Nuwass, waarover ik al eens eerder blogde.
