Iraqi historian Omar Mohammed risked his life running the Mosul Eye archive from inside the city under ISIS—documenting executions, the destruction of heritage, and the systematic erasure of history. He later worked to recover Mosul’s long Jewish past. Then, after “Go back to Poland” was chanted at Jews, he went to Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Bełżec. @geraldposner and I have written books about the Holocaust. We know the power of learning what actually happened in World War II. A historian who archived one genocide standing at the site of another is a powerful read thefp.com/p/isis-mosul-omar-…

Once again Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, Which on a wild secluded scene impress Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect The landscape with the quiet of the sky. - 'Tintern Abbey' William Wordsworth

Happy birthday to the man, the myth, the legend. Teddy Roosevelt established 5 national parks, 18 national monuments, 150 national forests and countless other public lands. Americans are still enjoying the places he helped conserve. Photo at Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, last week. The day after I took this, a flash flood raised the water level in this pristine canyon by 7 feet. 😲

Russia’s interference with satellite navigation signals is not just a technical issue, but a deliberate act. It puts aviation and maritime safety across Europe at risk. Russia must stop these harmful disruptions and respect its international obligations.

A young man who gives up what he treasures to honor his mother has already learned what many grown men never do: love can often be measured in sacrifice. Ladies and gentlemen, who taught you to put others first?

The U.S. Air Force has been training at a Florida base with a big six-rotor drone that hunts other drones by firing nets at them, which tangle in the rotors and bring the target down without sending bullets over the base. defence-blog.com/u-s-air-for…

Happy Monday, Gents. With the new week starting, I'm reminded of the last two lines of Invictus: "I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul." Take that with you this week, gentlemen. Carry on 🫡

Oldest map of the Holy Sepulchre About 670 AD a Christian pilgrim named Arculf (possibly a bishop) traveled to the Holy Land. On his return he was shipwrecked off Iona (Scotland), and the local Abbot, Adomnán, hosted Arculf and wrote down his travel narrative. More info in ALT.
Arculf's sketch of the Holy Sepulchre, included in Adomnán's De Locis Sanctis ("On the Sacred Places"). The captions are likely Adomnán's. The sketch posted here is from a 9th-century copy of De Locis Sanctis, currently at the Austrian National Library in Vienna, Codex 458, f4v. The sketch map is quite accurate, lending credibility to Arculf's pilgrimage account. Then there's this, from De Locis Sanctis IX: "Between that Basilica of Golgotha [round structure on the Left, here Arculf is referring to the Basilica built by Constantine around 336 AD over the tomb provided by Joseph of Arimathea for Jesus] and the Martyrium [three Crosses on the Right] there is a recess ["exedra" in Latin] in which is the Cup of the Lord [or Holy Grail]...the cup is silver, holding the measure of a Gaulish quart [Arculf and Adomnán apparently are referring to a "sextarius" - a Latin word for 1/6 of a Roman gallon or just over 1 modern pint] and has two little handles placed on it, one on each side."

Look up tonight. The Hunter's Moon will be putting on quite a show. Golden aspens and a brilliant moon make for a stunning fall scene at @BLMNational's Conway Summit in California.
