BLOODY. Mary Tudor. Do it, you cowards.
Get the actress who played 'Barb' in 'Stranger Things', Shannon Purser as the lead.
Thomasina McKenzie can play little sister Elizabeth.
Kevin McKidd from 'Trainspotting' and 'Rome' as dad, Henry. If you've seen 'Rome', you know he can do this.
Bryce Dallas Howard of 'Signs' and 'Black Mirror' as mum, Katharine.
Felicity Jones of 'Rogue One' as stepmum, Anne. Really let her go wild with it.
Let's do this!

Don't even get me started on the soundtrack...

Stonehenge is, quite rightly, one of the world's great sacred sites, and a massive tourist magnet.

What if I told you, that Germany had its own 'Stonehenge' - and perhaps even more impressive and important?
Unlike Stonehenge, however, the 'Ringheiligtum Pommelte', or Pommelte Sacred Site, took uncovering. In fact, we didn't know about it until the 2000s, when earlier aerial photos were confirmed to show a series of wooden henges and ditches.

What we see today is a reconstruction.
What archaeologists uncovered was incredible - essentially, a 4,3000 year old 'cathedral' - a massive holy site that was used for a number of purposes, over hundreds of years, with evidence of continued ritual use.

The recreated site was opened to the public in 2015.

When you think of the era of the ancient Egyptians and Minoans, what do you suppose was going on to the north, in central Europe?

Today, a new exhibition opened at @MuseumHalle in Halle, Germany called 'The Realm of the Sky Disk: New Horizons'.
Alongside the @MuseumHalle exhibition, a book has been released (in German) called 'Reach for the Stars', that examines what was going on in what is now Germany, in the 2nd millennium BCE.
One thing that visitors will discover is that the people who lived in Central Europe more than three thousand years ago prized beautiful things - they had an eye for wonderful design.

Grave goods from princely burials at Leubingen and Dieskau are a testament to this.

I mentioned this yesterday, but I'd like to devote a bit more time to telling you a wonderful story.

It's about time and space.
Some time around 3,600 years ago, peoples of the Únětice culture in what is today central Germany created an artefact unlike anything seen before - a bronze and gold disk, 30cm across and weighing 2kg.

It depicted the sun, moon and the Pleaides constellation.
It is thought the artefact - the 'Himmelscheibe', or Sky Disk' - transmitted information as to when an extra month had to be added to the calendar - when the moon and Pleaides were visible.

This was the difference between plenty and famine to these agrarian peoples.

Today in spectacularly morbid German history, I learned that on April 9th 1559, as the inhabitants of the Swabian town of Weil in Schönbuch celebrated, fires broke out around the town...
Much to the horror of the inhabitants of the town, as soon as one building was extinguished, more sprung up. It soon became apparent that someone was setting the fires that were razing the prosperous community...
111 houses were burned, as well as the town hall and church. There's no figures on casualties, but it's safe to say that there were a few. Reports say that for the next couple of days, bits of the priests records were found across the town, carried by the hot air of the fire...

I have held my tongue about what happened to me, partly because I didn't want to jeopardize the work of others, partly because I wanted to get my life on track.

I will never understand why this Man has been allowed to intimidate others for years. thenational.scot/news/19174424.…
It's not just the violence of the initial 'visit', in which everyone in your neighbourhood is woken up by him & his thugs, it's the hate mail, visits from other people and a thousand acts of petty intimidation.

Police genuinely didn't give a damn, let him go on his way.
It's only through the support of groups ranging from @uaf to the @bylinetimes team, from individuals like @LouiseRawAuthor and grouos Ahmadi community that I was able to feel somewhat safe.

In the end, I ended up losing my job, my marriage and a burgeoning writing career.

Bunch of catastrophically moronic Nazi fanboys added me to a *Facebook* chat where they share pics of their guns alongside threats of violence and the usual racist crap... /1
The kind of Facebook chat where you can see every single member of the group... and go to their profile. /2
Hate to break it to you lads, but the whole lot is there, and being saved. /3
