Earliest evidence of indigo-dyed textiles and single-needle knitting discovered in Bronze Age Anatolia

A research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Maner from Koç University's Department of Archaeology and History of Art has uncovered remark

For nålbinding, this is astonishingly early. Feels a bit odd to call it by its Viking name, but the technique is done using only one needle and that's what nålbinding is, so...

Temple of Trajan (also known as the Trajaneum) at the ancient city of Pergamon, located in modern-day Turkey.

The temple was built during the reign of the Roman Emperor Trajan, starting around 114 AD.

It was situated at the highest point of the Pergamon Acropolis and was dedicated to both Emperor Trajan and the city's patron goddess, Athena.

The structure's foundations were made of local andesite stone, which was then covered with white marble panels.

The columns visible in the image are in the Corinthian order, characterized by their ornate, acanthus-leaf capitals.

"This is the tomb of the dog, Stephanos, who perished. Whom Rhodope shed tears for and buried like a human.

I am the dog Stephanos, and Rhodope set up a tomb for me"

This piece is a tribute to two members of the ancient world, who lived in the Greek city of Termessos in modern day Turkey. We know about them today as Stephanos, a dog, had a tomb dedicated to him by his owner, Rhodope, who was also laid to rest nearby. As far as I can research, we don't know the exact details of when they lived, or much about their lives, except that Rhodope wanted us to know how much Stephanos meant to her.

His tomb was found near Rhodope’s own inscribed sarcophagus, which states that she set up the tomb completely and exclusively for herself. This suggests she was a single, independent wealthy woman.

Stephanos' remains are lost to time, but based on the size, and his role as a lady's companion dog, it is likely he was a melitan breed. This breed was a small, spitz-type dog that was incredibly popular in antiquity.

At the request of one of my followers I created a Substack 🤎 The first post goes into an interesting topic based off of this 6th century Patera found in Lampsacus, Turkey. My notes are included at the bottom that touches more on the Amazons, truth vs fiction/historical misinformation, and the story behind the character Wonder Woman.

Hope you guys find it interesting! Subscribe & share
