PJ's and Puppies and All Things Lovely: A friend sent this to me via PM on Facebook. I don't know the source but if you do please add it. →

They used to use urine to tan animal
skins, so families used to all pee in a
pot & then once a day it was taken &
Sold to the tannery…….if you had to
do this to survive you were “Piss
Poor”
But worse than that were the really
poor folk who couldn’t even afford to
buy a pot……they “didn’t…

Don’t know if any or all of this is true, but still entertaining.

“Among the many culinary treats Italy has given the world is gelato, a frozen dessert with roots in ancient Mesopotamia. Gelato lovers from all over the world are flocking to a university outside Bologna, Italy, to master the art of gelato-making. Here’s a free lesson: Don’t call it ice cream.”

abandonedography:

Thonis-Heracleion (the Egyptian and Greek names of the city) is a city lost between legend and reality. Before the foundation of Alexandria in 331 BC, the city knew glorious times as the obligatory port of entry to Egypt for all ships coming from the Greek world. It had also a religious importance because of the temple of Amun, which played an important role in rites associated with dynasty continuity. The city was founded probably around the 8th century BC, underwent diverse natural catastrophes, and finally sunk entirely into the depths of the Mediterranean in the 8th century AD. (via)

Quote reblogged from Caravaggista with 37 notes

In the very ability to make images there is a religious component. Every art is movement. In art the objects of life obey a particular rhythm. But in the pictorial arts (and in architecture) this rhythm is fixed, movement is checked. Powerful life can speak from a painting or statue, but it is as though the life were caught fast at a particular moment, as though motion were frozen.
— Gerardus van see Leeuw, Sacred and Profane Beauty: The Holy in Art (via caravaggista)
