i. sea frets poem

Written by The Silicon Tribesman, All Rights Reserved, 2018.

I’m in the process of finally putting together a sequence of poems titled ‘Cunagussos: Iron Age Wanderer’ which I started well over two years ago. This poem is the first piece of the set; a prologue of sorts. More to follow soon hopefully.

Egyptian Ship Model Sheds Light on Bronze Age Warfare and Religion

A tiny model ship reveals much about ancient Mediterranean naval history.

An excellent blog article on ships from Shelley Wachsmann. Marvellous what can be learned from what appears to be a toy ship, but, says Wachsmann, is not so simple. It appears, rather, to fill a ritual function (I know, I know, but hear him out - it makes sense).
