I tried to teach my dog to become an archaeologist.
She hasn't found anything valuable yet.
I'm not sure she quite understood how archaeology works but it's nice to see her specialise in the history of footwear.
As any good historian, she, her name is Beike discusses her finds with her peers;
She choose to ignore the opinion of this chap as he refuses to back up his claim with sources and there are rumours on campus that he's got substance abuse problems.
Eventually she shared her findings with Roetje, she also knows a bit about footwear;
Still I doubt her thesis will get past this judgemental researcher;
Either way, Beike will dedicate her work to Vlo and Koosje;
Yes, all these are photos I took of my pets over the years.
Disclaimer; Beike is not working on a thesis on the history of footwear.
She's too busy napping.

Time to look at another photo album in my collection, a tiny one this time with one picture on each page, showing us the adventures of some Dutch girl scouts in the early 1930s.
This Friday the game 'Manor Lord' is coming out, it's a medieval city builder that I've made a modest contribution to as a historical consultant and beta tester for.
I've been very excited about it for a long time and I'm not the only one, it's creating quite a buzz and has ended up on a lot of wishlists.
What I love about it most is that it tries to depict the middle ages in an accurate way, behind the scenes historians, experts & history addicts have been debating the tiniest details.
I think the result is one of the most historically accurate medieval games I've ever played.

So let's have a sneak peek at it shall we?
First, here's an official video:
Before you start you set up your profile and design your own family crest, look familiar?
This bit alone is SUCH fun, you can fiddle and play with this editor for ages till you get exactly what you want and then you'll see it on the banners in the game!
SUCH FUN!
Sigh.
An account with half a million followers just tweeted that long debunked 'life in the 1500s' nonsense, 2.2 million people have seen it.
So here we go again...
Recently I spotted a little holiday photo album for sale, usually I'm not interested in them because such photos are generally a bit boring, but I spotted a tiny detail that told me the album was very interesting.
Yes, that V sign.
Let's check the album out together.
Photo 🧵!
The album starts in Dresden, April 10th 1941.
Less then 4 years after the photo was taken this church would be a ruin.
