Vikings vs Samurai? Yeah, it’s wild, but I’m all in. Historian Antony Cummins gave me the lowdown, straight from voice memos, on what a Viking raid on Tsushima might look like. Ninja weren’t a thing yet? You’ll want to hear his take! Full Q&A here: https://vikingsvssamurai.com/q-a-with-antony-cummins-vikings-samurai-and-ninja/ #VikingsVsSamurai #HistoryNerd #AntonyCummins

During the 1700s, England introduced a brick tax to generate revenue. Builders got creative by using bigger bricks to avoid paying more —until larger bricks were taxed even higher! This quirky tax was finally repealed in 1850.

Have you ever wished you could see history unfold? Our new project uses AI to transform historical texts into vivid visual representations, making "lost" stories accessible to all.

Imagine exploring ancient cities, witnessing key events, or even stepping into the shoes of historical figures! While far from perfect, "Re-Experiencing History" aims to create a historically plausible visualisation of past events with the latest AI tools.

Our canvas allows students, researchers, and the general public to use specifically fine-tuned multimodal language models to generate and edit images to re-live past moments.

Yellowmead stone circle near Sheepstor in Devon, England is a concentric Bronze Age stone circle consisting of four stone rings set into each other. The largest is 20 meters wide and the smallest 6 meters. It is located on Yellowmead Down.

The circles once surrounded a burial mound, although this is now barely visible. To the south-west some possible rows of stones branch off, crossed by a post-medieval leat that once served a nearby tin works.

The site was excavated and restored by Rev. H Breton in 1921. In 2008, geophysical surveys and a small excavation were carried out to determine if the 1921 restoration had been done accurately (it was) and to find out if they were buried additional elements in the peat. Fallen stones were found in line with some of the stone rows, suggesting that further features may lie downstream below the slope.

World War History Geeks -- I bought this fairly heavy metal and tissue paper Christmas ornament at a charity shop in the Netherlands. Am I correct in thinking it's trench art? And if it is, what was it made from? #historynerd

5000 years ago, the Neolithic people of Dartmoor cut this 27 feet high standing stone from granite where The Oxenham Arms is now located.

The pub was built around it when it was a monastery around 800 years ago, the stone goes down into the cellar & up into the room above.

Samuel Willard, a Boston Puritan who opposed the Salem Witch Trials, speaks to Christian nationalism: to honor those who’ve gone before, imitate their meekness and respect of the poor.

Today, some say their bad rep is their suffering for Christ’s sake, and blame the devil for their inability to convert the world.

How can you practice these virtues?
