flip.it/cUyOqD There were plenty of powerful rulers in ancient Egyptian history. But very few of them were women who grabbed the throne, wore a ceremonial beard, and declared themselves a god. #flipboardusergroup #history #egypt #ancienthistory #archaeology #egyptians #pharaohs #mummies

Paleolithic rock art in southwestern France’s Font-de-Gaume Cave has been radiocarbon dated for the 1st time. The bison was dated to between 13,461 and 13,162 years ago.

The goddess Athena herself would have coveted this stirrup-spout bottle in the shape of an owl. Created thousands of miles across the ocean from Greece, this bottle is typical of the work of Moche ceramicists of Peru’s North Coast. #MetMuseum 🏺 1/ 200-500 CE. 📸 me

I’ve been trying to think of a good name for the #Halifax #PWHL #WomensHockey team. Trying to come up with something that is original, regionally appropriate and somewhat abstract. How about Halifax Light (or Lights) with a lighthouse logo?

Figuring out where the #PWHL game is being broadcast in Canada is even more difficult than NHL games. I went through every TSN channel and every Sportsnet channel looking for the #Victoire and finally found on it SN360. Why do things have to be so hard.

Congrats to the #TeamCanada #Curling team. At least we can still win at one sport.

Encore! Monsieur Samedi Soir! #GoHabsGo

Quite the eventful start to the #GoHabsGo vs #SJSharks game tonight.

Never expected to be on the same page as Tom Hardy

Yeah, it's definitely a "Middle East" problem, and not colonial intervention and violence, genocide, ecocide, exploitation of resources, dispensational premillennialism, absurd Sykes-Picot land borders, the fossil fuel lobby, or anything else. It's just us. We're the problem.

Not surprising that the English headline would blame it all on Richard. That was kind of the point of the riot.

After almost 130 years the remains of an Aboriginal man have made the long journey home from a museum in England. Now reburied on the Country from where he was taken at Berowra Creek in Sydney. #indigenous #australians #culture #history #libraries #museums #galleries #other #peoples

Thirty years ago today, the #GoHabsGo played their final game the Montreal Forum. Following the game, all living former captains participated in a closing ceremony where a torch was passed from one to the next. Maurice Richard received an incredible 16 minute standing ovation.

This is exactly why I enjoy studying #History, but try my best to avoid current events. Similar subject matter, but less personal impact.

Sargon the Great's reign became legendary, inspiring many tales about him. His birth legend is recognized by modern scholars as the inspiration for the tale of Moses's origin in the Bible.  #history

24 hours? Not this year. 🤷‍♀️  International Women’s Day comes up one hour short this year. Today, PWHL players who wear 24 are wearing 23 — a reminder that when women get less, the answer is to give women’s sports more.

Hate to put a good lady down, but Lucilla didn’t say this. It was her father, Marcus Aurelius, in his Meditations (10.16). She really didn’t factor into this Stoic work. Even if I’d love more female writings from antiquity, we can’t misattribute quotes. lexundria.com/m_aur_med/10...

It is International Women's Day. There have been many, many amazing women who have shaped Canada's history. I have chosen to feature ten of those women. These are their amazing stories. 🧵 1/12

While I have many criticisms of the modern world, I will say that I am grateful for indoor plumbing. I can’t imagine waking up in the middle of the night and having to go out in the cold, through the snow, just to use the bathroom. What a nightmare.

The Montreal Maroons only existed for 14 seasons but in that time they helped reshape the NHL, won two Stanley Cups and had 11 players and five coaches enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame. This is the story of Montreal's other NHL team. 🧵 1/12

The traditional games of the Dene people include finger pull, snow snake and stick pull. These games are played in community events as well as at competitions such as the Arctic Winter Games, which begin in a few days. Learn how each of these games are played in our article:

Nobody wins in Montreal, except Montreal. The Montreal Victoire are 7-0-0 at Place Bell this season, and for good reason as their home crowd is like having a seventh player on the ice. thehockeynews.com/womens/pwhl/... #PWHL
