  1. #Trump Bulldozed a 1,000-Year-Old #ArcheologicalSite to Make Room for a Second Border Wall

    #DHS was in talks with the #WildlifeRefuge that hosts the ancient site to make sure it was protected, a local archeologist said.

    "A rare archaeological site in the #SonoranDesert was bulldozed by a Department of Homeland Security contractor involved in building the latest sections of Donald Trump’s #BorderWall, according to multiple sources briefed on the incident.

    "The area, in a remote corner of Arizona’s #CabezaPrieta #NationalWildlifeRefuge, is a nearly 280-by-50-foot etching in the desert sand known as an #intaglio.

    "Last Friday, without any notice, a contractor working for DHS cut a roughly 60-foot swath across the middle of the intaglio, doing irreparable damage to the 1,000-year-old artifact.

    "Cabeza Prieta, one of the largest wilderness areas outside of Alaska, also encompasses lands sacred to the #TohonoOodham Nation, which borders the refuge to the east. The O’odham have fought to prevent border wall construction across their reservation and during Trump’s first term largely prevailed; they also managed to protect the intaglio and a nearby burial site that they consider to be part of their ancestral lands.

    " 'I liken it to destroying the Nazca lines — something that culturally we should have been relishing and promoting. Not destroying,' Rick Martynec, an archaeologist, said in a phone interview, referring to the hundreds of figures drawn into the deserts of southern Peru.

    "The destruction was confirmed by a federal employee with direct knowledge of the incident, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal."

  6. Prospérité
    (Oui j'adore nommer mes créations, ce sont des pièces uniques, dans d'autres univers elles auraient un nom en orange et loot sur des Dragons)

    Bague en or sculptée par mes soins ornée d'une améthyste intaillée par mon ami Stéphane Renard.

    Inspirée par le culte d'Hestia, déesse du foyer en filant la symbolique du blé sur plusieurs textures.

  7. I finished engraving my second burin relief map. Can you guess which place it is?

    This is one of these projects where I can't honestly say how long it took, it just reached the absurdly long zone :) But it shows. I thought the first one was already complex, but this one is a whole new level. And although I can still point many mistakes, I see how my technique improved between the two.

    Now I have to wait until Wednesday to see the first prints!

  8. @inti I call this Pueblo Colorado Circle. Are #geoglyph or #intaglio better?
    Another #GreatCircle on #PachaMama. Outlines in my graphic are relative sizes.
    #Stonehenge fits inside the tiny circle beside #NewarkOctagon.
