Trajans Column in Rome would have been so amazing, and it’s also a very good way to imagine the Column of Arcadius in Constantinople which was modeled on it. I can only imagine looking up at it in all its original glory.

Enjoy my latest post, “The Sons of Horus”, in which I argue that the Z.1 is incorrect after diving down a rabbit hole that led me to poring over the specific arrangements of hieroglyphs on Egyptian coffins. hermeticulture.org/2023/06/0…

Attendees will be able to see the winning entries from our four @HarryhausenAWDS categories, as well as finding out the inductee into the 2023 Harryhausen Hall of Fame. After a brief introduction from collections manager @ConnorHeaney86, we will then kick back for a 2K screening of 'Jason'.
We look forward to seeing you there, and announcing the winners of this year's awards! Celebrate Ray Harryhausen's life as well as some of the excellent work of animators in 2023.

The month of June was named after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and childbirth. As such, it was considered a lucky month to get married, and it still is a popular month for weddings today.
