NOSE OFF, POWER OFF

Rome couldn’t own the Parthenon, so it owned the image. 2nd–3rd c. AD Pentelic marble: a scaled echo of Phidias’s lost gold-and-ivory Athena Parthenos, Nike once in her hand. Made for Roman elites. Painted, not white.

Athena carved into the cliff at Sömek.
People pass. Stone remains.
But the harder question is this: when we carve a god into rock, are we really carving ourselves?
Guardian, witness, or warning?
Which one feels true to you, and why? https://t.co/32p6SQizkZ

Rhodians built Phaselis on an isthmus (690 BC) with 3 harbors.
Not for sunsets. For commerce.
Rose oil from Phaselis was a luxury export, then pirates seized the port until Rome crushed them in 77/76 BC.
When you look at these ruins, do you see a city...or a smuggling hub? https://t.co/6k5keYQH3f

Bet Giyorgis, Lalibela.
Architecture by subtraction.
No blocks. No mortar.
A 25 m trench, then a cruciform church sculpted from living rock, c.1200.
UNESCO listed Lalibela.
Harder part: perfect symmetry, or drainage that still works today? https://t.co/wTFfOhCJpx

A silver antelope pendant from southwestern Iran. Proto Elamite, ca. 3100 to 2900 BC
Five thousand years ago, someone wore this on their body, not in a display case.
Not just art. A message.
Was it jewelry… or a portable claim of power, protection, and identity?
