Located a half-mile northwest of Bernalillo on the west banks of the Rio Grande, Kuaua Ruins is a pre-contact Tiwa village, known since 1940 as Coronado Historic Site. Settled around 1300 AD, the remnants of the multi-story village are west of the main route of El Camino Real.

[Avis impopulaire / Archéologie du JV]
L'histoire retient les grands naufrages, mais qui se souvient du studio Gunnar Games et de son Point-and-Click "Titanic" sur Wii ? Faire ramer une console avec des écrans fixes en 2D, c'est presque une performance d'ingénierie inversée. Un bel hommage au concept de submersion technique. 🖥️⚓
Y as-tu joué ?

So, let's talk about 1976. At the time, I was in a "special needs" program at a school way bigger than the 2 room village schoolhouse I had been attending. The teachers at the new school encouraged all the students to write essays about the #AmericanRevolution -- the prize being a trip to Philadelphia to participate in the #Bicentennial. I managed to win the contest with a very graphic essay about #GeorgeWashington's troops in #ValleyForge (mentioning the possibility of #cannibalism -- one of my obsessions at the time, along with Zombies). Anyhow, in order to participate in the parade, we had to dress in period clothes. I *insisted* on having a boy-man's uniform (which I made in a very public interview with the local press), and I got my way! And marched with the boys/men, with the fife and drum squad and flag bearers (I played the flute). Unfortunately, I was there by myself, with no family to take photos of me. But here's a photo of the group I was part of. And bonus... I got to spend the night at Valley Forge, telling my tales of Revolutionary cannibalism!

Gran Quivira is the largest of the three sites within the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. It is located about 25 miles south of #Mountainair, #NewMexico. It preserves the ruins of a large pueblo, once known as Las Humanas, and two Spanish mission churches built by the Tompiro people.

My brain is so happy! I have a couple of translation projects (suggested by folks on #Mastodon) to pursue! I so love it here!
TFW you (a history nerd) meets a fellow traveler (so to speak). . . . I feel seen! Thank you #HistoryNerdsUnited for this fabulous book review (P.S.

Some great news. My book Naming Gotham won the 2024 NYC Big Book Award for Regional Nonfiction (and was a Distinguished Favorite for US History).

Henry Melvill, Anglican priest, reflects on Simon of Cyrene, and abolition of slavery in British colonies. It’s just that Britain expended millions to ransom captives. Slavery is hostile to the spirit of the Gospel.
Others today say abolition took too many risks and costs.
How can you take risks and costs to end abuses to human dignity, which are hostile to the spirit of the Gospel?

Such fun talking with Apollo Papyrus about #NamingGotham & the #EnvironmentalJustice Chronicles. Learned a new word- Toponym (a place name, especially derived from a natural feature.)
Friendly reminder: If you read Naming Gotham, I would appreciate your Amazon/Goodreads/Barnes and Noble review
Check out this fantastic World Herstory Podcast episode about Margaret Cochran Corbin. I first heard of her b/c Corbin Place in Brooklyn was renamed for her as an easy way to replace the name of odious anti-Semite and union buster Austin Corbin! #nyc #history #NamingGotham #podcast #herstory #brooklyn #womenshistory #historygeek @history @historyasif

San Miguel Mission Chapel in Socorro is considered the oldest church still in use in the United States. Built between 1615 – 1626, Nuestra Señora de Perpetuo has walls that are 5 feet thick, with massive, carved vigas. The mission was temporarily abandoned during the Pueblo Revolt, but it wasn't completely destroyed. The church was restored after the Spanish returned in 1692.

Colonel Sumner est. Fort Union north of the Santa Fe Trail in July, 1851.
Why?
He viewed Santa Fe as “morally degrading.” Too many bars/brothels. He made soldiers build the fort & farm to save money. Conflict w/Comanche, Ute & Apache on the trail jeopardized supply lines.

Santo Niño de Atocha, Chimayo | Some of the surviving soldiers on the Bataan Death March began what has become the annual Easter pilgrimage to Chimayo as a means of expressing their profound gratitude to Santo Niño by the late 1940s, a tradition some descendants continue today.

Had so much fun talking about NYC History that I forgot to take photos. Fortunately the kind folks at #RockHallMuseum took a few. Thanks to everyone who came out despite the time change and the rain to gossip with me. I love sharing Naming Gotham with fellow #historylovers.

The Franciscans, with the help of the villagers, built a modest #church in #Socorro in 1598, Nuestra Señora de Perpetuo, completed between 1615 – 1626. That is the church that exists today. The walls are approximately 5 feet wide, with huge, carved vigas.

Ancestral Pueblo people carved rooms, known as cavates, into the tuff cliffs of the Pajarito Plateau. Bandelier National Monument and Puye Cliff Dwellings are known for them, but they can be seen throughout the Jemez. I saw these next to the road between Bandelier and White Rock.

The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo ceded the territory that became New Mexico to the U.S. The rapid population growth overwhelmed Doña Ana. The U.S. Army designated a site for a new town 6 miles south, establishing the first 84 blocks of Las Cruces, each containing four lots. 120 men gathered to draw lots from a hat to determine who got which site. The Mesquite Historic District encompasses the initial allotment. #NewMexico #travel #roadtrip #history #historygeek
I still need to finish off the paint on the sword handle and hem the toga skirt plus some detailing but for a cardboard box, metallic paint, a red jumper, vinyl tape and a metre of fabric this is a pretty darn good Perseus for ancient greek day (for my 9 year old. Not me.) #handmade #mum #historygeek
Whenever I read about references to #ostraca, my mind immediately jumps to Hypatia.

I'm half way through Ep 5 of Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix & I'm now 99% convinced that the Earth was either visited by Aliens or that were are a "seed colony" of some sort.
Well it's no more rediculas than a Blike with a beard floating on a cloud. 😉
Anyone like to convince me otherwise? What books do I need to be reading. Sceptics welcome. How much of the show is BS? #AncientApocalypse #HistoryGeek #Aliens
