Human talent knows no bounds, and this holds true both for the people of the past and those in our current times, especially when it comes to crafting impressive structures. These range from small yet stunning creations like hand-carved coins bearing the faces of past rulers to large-scale structures as vast as the Colosseum's Basement in Rome.

It represents the first advanced and distinctively Greek civilization in mainland Greece with its palatial states, urban organization, works of art, and writing system. The most prominent site was Mycenae, in the Argolid, after which the culture of this era is named. Other centers of power that emerged included Pylos, Tiryns, Midea in the Peloponnese, Orchomenos, Thebes, Athens in Central Greece and Iolcos in Thessaly. Mycenaean and Mycenaean-influenced settlements also appeared in Epirus, Macedonia, on islands in the Aegean Sea, on the coast of Asia Minor, the Levant,[Cyprus, and Italy.

We decided to visit the Istanbul Archaeology Museums on the grounds of the Topkapı Palace outer gardens. Inside, they have a breathtaking collection of glazed brick reliefs from ancient Babylon. Many major museums around the world have lion reliefs from the processional way but in Istanbul they have bulls and "dragons from the actual gate.

Projects This site is no longer updated. However the project continues and can be followed as North Cornwall Heritage. There are two overlapping projects involving Slaughterbridge; the Slaughterbridge Training Excavation Project (STEP) and the Tintagel Environs Survey Project (TESP). STEP - Slaughterbridge is a site with a situation and archaeology that are highly suitable for providing training opportunities for university archaeology students, and experience for a more general public. Short periods of excavation are carried out through out the year, whenever they are needed by the students, for their courses, or as part of National Archaeology Week, for the public. The excavation is put in context with practicals and lectures on; surveying, using maps, digital resources, aerial photographs, planning, finds identification and recording. All of these make use of features of the site. The excavation is on display to the public as part of the Arthurian Centre. TESP - A detailed study of the early medieval sites in the ten parishes between Tintagel on the coast and the northern end of Bodmin Moor, and their relationship to each other. The methodology will mainly consist of geophysics and field walking. This is contextualised in a desktop study of the development of the landscape. It will incidentally provide a wider context for excavation work at Slaughterbridge (STEP). This project is directed by Dr. Niall Finneran of Winchester University. Slaughterbridge The site consists of two main elements. Firstly, on the hillside the earthworks of a small medieval settlement and post-medieval farm called Old Melorn. Secondly in the valley bottom, built in to the river cliffs, the mostly buried remains of a mid-eighteenth century garden created by Lady Dowager Falmouth (Charlotte Boscawen). The centre of this garden is the most important feature on the site the 6th century ‘Arthur’s Stone’ inscribed with ogham and latin. Both sites were attached to the nearby Worthyvale house. The interim picture of the site is this. The Arthur Stone was erected as a memorial beside a road that runs across the site in the 6th century. In the medieval period a settlement called Melorn developed here, possibly with a chapel. This settlement shrunk to a farm and then was demolished. One of the buildings was last in use as a smithy. There was also a possible mill below the village. Charlotte and her husband Hugh Boscawen moved to Worthyvale Manor around 1700. The garden was built during the first half of the 18th century, with a path leading from a ‘ folly’ on a low mound, via winding paths along river cliff terraces, rock cut steps and a patterned cobbled area with seats. Paths lead to the relocated Arthur Stone in a natural ‘grotto’ beside the River Camel. She died in 1754 and the garden was soon lost and forgotten. However the fame of the stone continued to attract visitors to the site, leading to a ticket office (now an earthwork) being built near the stone in the 19th century.

Mesopotamian art and architecture - Sumerian Revival, Clay Reliefs, Cylinder Seals: The short historical interlude represented by the Gudea sculptures was followed by a full-scale Sumerian revival, one that lasted for four centuries and culminated in the unification of the whole country under the rule of Hammurabi in the early 18th century bce. Dominated first by the powerful 3rd dynasty of Ur and later by the rival states of Isin and Larsa, the peoples of ancient Sumer reverted to their pre-Akkadian cultural traditions. On their northern frontiers the Sumerian culture was extended to increasingly prosperous younger city-states, such as Mari, Ashur, and Eshnunna, located on the middle courses of the Tigris

Archaeologists excavating in Jerusalem discovered a small stamp seal in the 1980s belonging to a certain Malkiyahu ben hamelek, or Malkiyahu son of the king. This same name, rendered as Malchiah, is found in Jeremiah 38. If Malchiah is the same person as the Book of Mormon’s Mulek, then the stamp seal belonging to Malkiyahu would lend independent credibility to the historical existence of Mulek. Although impossible to definitively prove, Mulek is a very strong candidate for being one and the same as this Malchiah/Malkiyahu. Knowing Mulek’s identity and high status in Judean society helps readers better appreciate both biblical and Book of Mormon history and personalities.
