📚 Hayo just finished reading The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850 by Brian Fagan
One of those books that was exactly what I was looking for. The author presents a very balanced scientific overview of the interplay between climatic and socio-economic flows. It paints a disturbing picture of our very recent history and gives a glimpse of what could happen in the next few hundred years.

In to thir dirk and drublie dayis,
Quhone sabill all the hewin arrayis
With mystie vapouris, cluddis and skyis,
Nature all curage me denyis
Off sangis, ballattis, and of playis…—William Dunbar (c.1459–1530), “Meditatioun in Wyntir”

🎨 Moonlight in Istanbul, 1910s "Tears flowed from my eyes like vast seas, Friends saw much, yet my fortune found no peace. For your wandering image to cross my flood of tears, My brows are a bridge, with one pillar and two arches." ✏️ Mehmed Neşrî, 15th Century #Poem #Poetry #15thCentury

Hey, psssst! Does anyone care for some... fake roast venison? It's medieval! And super, super sweet! Aaand it is fancy - it brings it's own BLING! (I mean gilded almonds! Whoa!) And basically it's vegan, because it is a christian Lenten dish from the 1. printed German Cookbook from 1485. Have a look at it (and at my fail during cooking this. 😅). Experimental archaeology in action.
My YT-Channel exists since.. mh.. 3 weeks? So, thanks for boosts and for following me! 🥰 Your actions feed my blogs!
Oh, and happy #easter and #TransDayOfVisibility! 🐇

"More than 500 years underground, gone through cleaning, conservation, soaked in wax and freeze-dried - and yet these isotope signatures are still in the timbers... vessels and timber structures that previously didn't date with traditional ring dendrochronology can now potentially be dated with oxygen isotope or stable isotope dendrochronology."

The #BritishMuseum site notes that the #15thCentury badge found at #BuryStEdmunds may have been brought back by a pilgrim from one of the continental shrines, such as #Bari in Italy.
Happy #Sinterklaas!
