Змеиная колонна - 8-метровая древнегреческая бронзовая колонна, установленная на ипподроме Константинополя.

Сохранившаяся часть жертвенного треножника храма в Дельфах, отлитая из оружия погибших в битве при Платеях (479 год до н. э.) персов. Находилась в Дельфах до 324 года, когда была перевезена Константином в основанный им Константинополь. До 1700 года колонну увенчивали три змеиные головы (верхняя часть одной из которых выставлена в Археологическом музее Стамбула).

Табличка из Киша - табличка из песчаника, обнаруженная при раскопках Телль аль-Ухаймира в провинции Бабиль, Ирак, где ранее находился шумерский город Киш. Табличка датируется около 3500 г. до н. э.

Надпись на табличке выполнена примитивными клинописными знаками, Питер Стирнс называет её древнейшим письменным документом.
Состав знаков данной таблички по характеру скорее более пиктографический, отражая переходную стадию от протописьменности к частично слоговому клинописному письму.

5500 лет назад по тундростепям Евразии еще бродили мамонты.

Кубок Ликурга — единственная сохранившаяся со времён античности диатрета с фигурным узором. Представляет собой стеклянный сосуд 165 мм в высоту и 132 мм в диаметре, предположительно александрийской работы IV века н. э. Экспонируется в Британском музее.
Уникальность кубка состоит в способности менять цвет с зелёного на красный в зависимости от угла падения света. Этот эффект объясняется наличием в стекле мельчайших частиц коллоидного золота и серебра (приблизительно 70 нанометров) в соотношении трёх к семи. Обод из золочёной бронзы и ножка сосуда представляют собой позднейшие привнесения эпохи раннего ампира.

На стенках кубка изображена гибель фракийского царя Ликурга, которого за оскорбление бога вина Диониса опутали и задушили виноградные лозы. Существует гипотеза, что кубок был изготовлен в честь победы Константина над Лицинием и передавался из рук в руки вакхантами при дионисийских возлияниях. Во всяком случае, его необычная расцветка могла символизировать этапы созревания винограда.

Керамика Убейдского периода

Убейдский период — археологическая фаза в развитии материальной культуры Месопотамии и ряда смежных областей Передней Азии (Восточное Средиземноморье, Иран, Аравия) и Закавказья, в основном соответствующая энеолиту.

В общих чертах датируется 6-м — началом 4-го тысячелетия до н. э., но длительность различалась по регионам.

Название — по памятнику Телль-эль-Убейд в Южном Ираке, где были впервые обнаружены типичные находки убейдского стиля.

Древнейшая известная культура «колыбели цивилизации» — Южной Месопотамии, где сформировалась под сильным влиянием самаррской культуры. На пике развития охватила всю Месопотамию и оказала мощное влияние на соседние общества, породив цепь схожих по облику культур на огромной территории (феномен убейдской «ойкумены»).
Убейд называют «фундаментом» месопотамской цивилизации: в это время возникли поселения на месте древнейших городов Шумера (Ур, Урук, Лагаш и др.), первые храмы и протогорода. Крупнейшим убейдским поселением на коренной территории был Эреду — первая, согласно шумерским легендам, столица «царственности» после прибытия людей с райского острова Ди́льму

Unknown. From the main burial only a piece of fragmented bone from the top of the skull remained. Tomb-robbers plundered and destroyed this grave.
The pectoral was found in the dromos (which was skipped by the raiders) leading to that grave. It weighs 1150g and it's 31cm in diameter.
There were other bodies buried in the kurgan, one of which they call a princess for her rich grave goods and position in the tomb (name unknown ofc). A child was placed next to her in a wooden sarcophagus with alabaster ornaments. 2 men and 2 women, most likely servants were also placed around them, one of the men got called a bodyguard, and it seemed he was alive when he was buried with them.
An archaeologist called Mozolevskiy led the excavation, perhaps you can find reports in Russian. They must had some kind of journal too where they published their findings, can be found in libraries. Or even online.

These burials are generally considered royal for the size (the Tolstaya mogila was 9m tall and 80m in diameter when they dug it, since it's eroded through the ages the original mound was larger) and the richness of the findings.

The Rylands Library Papyrus P52 is a fragment from a papyrus codex, measuring only 3.5 by 2.5 inches (8.9 cm × 6.4 cm) at its widest, and conserved at the John Rylands University Library Manchester, UK.

The front (recto) contains parts of seven lines from the Gospel of John 18:31–33, in Greek, and the back (verso) contains parts of seven lines from verses 37–38.

Although Rylands P52 is generally accepted as the earliest extant record of a canonical New Testament text, the dating of the papyrus is by no means the subject of consensus among scholars. The original editor proposed a date range of 100–150 CE.

In September 1931 a barbed harpoon made of red deer antler was dredged up by a trawler on the Leman and Ower Banks in the North Sea. This object was found within a block of peat and was in almost perfect condition. Although long believed to be Mesolithic, a radiocarbon date of c. 11,950–11,300 cal. BC was obtained in 1988 - the first direct date for Upper Palaeolithic human settlement on this part of the North Sea Plain.

The Burney Relief (also known as the Queen of the Night relief) is a Mesopotamian terracotta plaque in high relief of the Isin-Larsa period or Old-Babylonian period, depicting a winged, nude, goddess-like figure with bird's talons, flanked by owls, and perched upon two lions.

The relief is displayed in the British Museum in London, which has dated it between 1800 and 1750 BCE. It originates from southern Mesopotamia, but the exact find-site is unknown. Apart from its distinctive iconography, the piece is noted for its high relief and relatively large size making it a very rare survival from the period.

These rosettes from the funerary equipment of three foreign wives of Thutmose III have been diplayed in various ways, since they came to the Metropolitan Museum in 1926. Most familiar to previous viewers is their reconstruction as part of a wig cover with 26.8.117bb as the head piece. Such a cover was first suggested by Herbert E. Winlock in 1937 and later modified.

Содержание грамоты в переводе на русский язык:

«Грамота от Жирочка и от Тешка к Вдовину. Скажи Шильцу: “Зачем ты портишь чужих свиней? А писал(а) [это] из села Ноздрька. Ты осрамил весь Людин конец: с того берега грамота. Она была про коней – что ты с ними то же сотворил”».

The Royal Game of Ur is a two-player strategy race board game of the tables family that was first played in ancient Mesopotamia during the early third millennium BC. The game was popular across the Middle East among people of all social strata and boards for playing it have been found at locations as far away from Mesopotamia as Crete and Sri Lanka. One board, held by the British Museum, is dated to c. 2600 – c. 2400 BC, making it one of the oldest game boards in the world.

Based on this tablet and the shape of the gameboard, British Museum curator Irving Finkel reconstructed the basic rules of how the game might have been played. The object of the game is to run the course of the board and bear all one's pieces off before one's opponent. Like modern backgammon, the game combines elements of both strategy and luck.

Гефестион Пергамский был греческим мозаичистом во 2 веке до нашей эры.

Художник-мозаичист Гефестион творил в середине 2 веке до нашей эры, что подтверждается его именем на напольной мозаике, найденной во дворце пергамского царя Эвмена II (197-159 гг. до н.э.).

Эта одна из самых красивых греческих мозаик имеет размеры 6,3 × 6,3 м. Вокруг центральной части мозаики, которая в значительной степени не сохранилась, сохранились полосы геометрических узоров (меандров) почти в первозданном виде, обрамленные внешней темной полосой, украшенной пестрыми натуралистическими гирляндами, среди которых изображены играющие эроты.
На мозаике изображен папирусный свиток с подписью его создателя:

Large chunk of chiseled obsidian, a so called "core" was found in the sea near Naples.
from the remains of what is likely a Neolithic, or New Stone Age shipwreck near the island of Capri.
weighs almost 17.6 pounds (8 kilograms)
recovered the artifact on Monday (Nov. 20) on the seafloor at a depth of between 100 and 130 feet (30 and 40 meters)
It's not yet known where this obsidian originated, but there are deposits of it on some volcanic islands of the Mediterranean, including the offshore islands of Palmarola, near Naples, and Lipari, near Sicily.

The real artifact would be the boat itself, no chance they'll find any remains of that. Neolithic seafarers used long (~10 meters) canoes, some even had masts with a sail. They're also guessing these were used as catamarans, with dual body.
Neolithic seafaring technology was exemplified by five canoes from the submerged "La Marmotta" site under Lake Bracciano near Rome, which have been dated to between 5690 and 5250 B.C.

Death for believers in the Christian faith is not an end, but a preparation for a new birth. Early Christians wished to present themselves in their finest clothes at the moment of resurrection of the body. For women that included hair covering and also shoes.

These exceptionally well-preserved leather women's shoes have a high front coming up to a double lobed extension, and finish at the heel with a high tab. The shoes may have been originally purple or red, and were extensively embellished with gold leaf. The disc-shaped leather motif on the vamp encloses eight smaller circles, these decorated further with embroidered stars.

From Egypt, Coptic period. ca. 300-500 (made)

Галька из Макапансгата — красновато-коричневая яшмовая галька весом 260 грамм, с естественными сколами и наносными образованиями, делающими ее похожей на грубо вытесанное лицо.

Найдена в пе­ще­ре в отдалении от природных месторождений, в слое с костями африканского австралопитека, возраст оценивается в 2,5-2,9 млн лет.
Это не рукотворный объект, однако распространенная точка зрения связывает камень с деятельностью австралопитеков. Ближайшее к пещере месторождение такой породы — это берег в долине на расстоянии 32 км. Судя по всему, галька привлекла внимание австралопитеков необычными цветом и формой, напоминающей лицо. Подобранная и оставленная в пещере, она, возможно, является самым ранним примером символического мышления и эстетического чувства в прачеловеческом наследии.

The Bucklersbury Mosaic was found in 1869, dating from 200 - 250 of the Christian Era in the Roman Period. It belonged to a house which once fronted onto Newgate Street in the heart of the Roman city.

When the mosaic was discovered during the building of the road Queen Victoria Street, it was an absolute sensation with thousands of people coming to see it, causing them to put up temporary staging to protect it.
When the mosaic is examined in detail, you can see it splits up into three parts. The first big section is roughly square shaped, with the other end being semi circular and the bit in between is a lovely strip which has the Acanthus scroll with the glowers and the plants coming out of the chalice, linking the two other parts together.
A tribute to the Romans who first laid it, we can appreciate the exquisiteness of this piece particularly shown with the two large interlocking squares which would've been extremely difficult to lay out. Built on very good foundations, including a hypercaust (which is a heated system) meaning it would have had pillars underneath it, and so all made of concrete and tile, creating a very level surface.
A real expression of Roman culture and civilisation, don't miss this beautiful piece of history available to see at the Museum of London.

Римский кавалерийский шлем, найденный в Неймегене (Нидерланды), датируется 2-й половиной 1-го века нашей эры.

Головная часть шлема сделана из железа и не уцелела, а маска и диадема – из посеребренной латуни и неплохо сохранились.

The Priest-King, in Pakistan often King-Priest, is a small male figure sculpted in steatite found during the excavation of the ruined Bronze Age city of Mohenjo-daro in Sindh, Pakistan, in 1925–26. It is dated to around 2000–1900 BCE, in Mohenjo-daro's Late Period, and is "the most famous stone sculpture" of the Indus Valley civilization ("IVC").
Though the name Priest-King is now generally used, it is highly speculative, and "without foundation".

The serpopard (also known as monstrous lion) is a mythical animal known from ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art. The word "serpopard" is a modern coinage. It is a portmanteau of "serpent" and "leopard", derived from the interpretation that the creature represents an animal with the body of a leopard and the long neck and head of a serpent. However, they have also been interpreted as "serpent-necked lions". There is no known name for the creature in any ancient texts.

The image is featured specifically on decorated cosmetic palettes from the Predynastic period of Egypt, and more extensively, as design motifs on cylinder seals in the Protoliterate period of Mesopotamia (circa 3500–3000 BC).

Старорусская берестяная грамота № 35 (Ст. Р. 35) — хорошо сохранившаяся берестяная грамота из Старой Руссы. Найдена в 1999 году. Написана в 1140‒1160 годах.

Содержит послание от Радослава к брату Хотеславу (указание взять деньги у прасола (торговца)), и язвительный ответ Хотеслава.

Текст
ѿ радослава ко хотеславоу възми у прасъла:в҃:гривенеи:е҃:коуно//ѧкове брате еби лежѧ ебехото аесово

В конце записки от Радослава к Хотеславу с просьбой взять у торговца деньги другим почерком приписано: «ѧковебратеебилежѧ» («Якове, брате, еби лежа»).

Дальше по адресу Якова прибавлены ещё два замысловатых ругательства: ебехота — похотливый, и аесова — «сователь яйца».

Noice. Full candle finds must be rare. People tended to use them up.
