  5. “Have you heard of Bilingual Writing?

    Two colonial codices from #Mexico record two centuries-old multilingual symbols. Both record the Nāhuatl language of the #Aztec Empire, plus one additional language. One is a brief phrase that gives the date in #Mixtec and #Nāhuatl. The other is a placename in both #Totonac and Nāhuatl.

    Another example are how two pieces of #Bakongo icons play a role in conflict resolution.”

  14. Excerpt: "A Brief History of #UrbanAgriculture

    Growing food in cities isn’t entirely new! History shows humans have long found ways to cultivate sustenance within urban boundaries:

    - Circa 3500 BC, #Mesopotamia: Archaeological evidence suggests early forms of #gardening occurred within city walls for food and medicinal purposes.
    - Circa 2000 BC, Ancient #Persia: Development of sophisticated #qanat systems (underground #aqueducts) supported #UrbanGardens even in arid climates.
    - #AncientEgypt: Records depict fruit trees and vines grown within temple complexes and affluent homes in cities like Thebes.
    - Circa 1100 AD, #Aztec Civilization: The ingenious ‘#chinampas’ – artificial islands built in shallow lake beds around #Tenochtitlan – were highly productive agricultural plots effectively integrated with the urban center.
    - Circa 1400s AD, #MachuPicchu: This #Inca citadel showcases remarkable terraced agriculture, adapting steep slopes for crop production within a high-altitude urban environment.
    - More Recently: #VictoryGardens during World Wars I and II were widespread examples of urban food production driven by necessity."
