The murky lagoon harbouring a centuries-old maritime mystery
By Jon Daly

The elusive Deadwater wreck is Western Australia's longest-running maritime mystery, encompassing colonial eyewitness accounts, artefacts tenuously linked to the wreck, and vivid folklore involving treasure, matricide and piracy.

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.

Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:

#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :

For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.

The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:

Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.

Settler-Led Excavations:

Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.

Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:

Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.

The International Fallout:

Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.

These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

#Sbeïtla, l’antique #Sufetula
Les origines de Sbeïtla sont encore obscures et aucun texte, aucune inscription n’éclaire sa fondation. On peut seulement tirer parti de son nom, puisque #Sufetula est un diminutif de #Sufes, qui désigne une cité voisine, distante d’une trentaine de kilomètres au Nord-Ouestde la #tunisie

1) Pushback on what Omer Bartov said. This is #genocide. Full stop! #TextbookGenocide, UN defined genocide...whatever! IT'S... CLEARLY... GENOCIDE! Get a ouija board (I'm not serious about that, btw) and ask 10 812 newly martyred #Palestinians

2) 'Ethnic Cleansing' was a made up term in...I want to say the 1990s (help me #historians) ... and was a term used by perpetrators in the Balkans (?) as a euphemism gfor #genocide

Time for a little #OldEnglish #Christmas / #Yule

Pre-Christian -- Lastnight was said to be Mother's Night, where I would like to think they celebrate the Goddesses of the year (Hrêða [ ᚻᚱᛖᚦᚪ ], Ēostre [ ᛖᚩᛋᛏᚱᛖ ] and Sceaðu [ ᛋᚳᛖᚪᚦᚢ ] ) NB: That is just my personal interpretation.

Gōd Mōdraniht sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᛗᚩᛞᚱᚪᚾᛁᚻᛏ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Mother's Night to you!

Gōd Gēol sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚷᛖᚩᛚ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Yule to you!

Which then evolved into:

Gōd Crīstes mæsse sīe þē [ ᚷᚩᛞ:ᚳᚱᛁᛋᛏᛖᛋ:ᛗᚫᛋᛋᛖ:ᛋᛁᛖ:ᚦᛖ ] -- Good Christmas to you!

So take your pick my friends, whichever tickles your fancy: go a little pagan, go a little in-between or go for something more Christian/modern.

The choice is yours.
