NORTHUMBERLAND: Hadrian's Wall, Northumberland, UK... surprises me the amount of people who don't know it




The electric age was born in 1882 on Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan when Thomas Edison began operating the city’s first central power station. One jumbo dynamo helped generate enough direct current to power 800 light bulbs, and within a year Edison’s company had more than 500 customers.

“La cárcel es profunda y de piedra; su forma, la de un hemisferio casi perfecto, si bien el piso (que también es de piedra) es algo menor que un círculo máximo, hecho que agrava de algún modo los sentimientos de opresión y de vastedad. Un muro medianero la corta; éste, aunque altísimo, no toca la parte superior de la bóveda; de un lado estoy yo, Tzinacán, mago de la pirámide de Qaholom, que Pedro de Alvarado incendió; del otro hay un jaguar, que mide con secretos pasos iguales el tiempo y el espacio del cautiverio. A ras del suelo, una larga ventana con barrotes corta el muro central. En la hora sin sombra se abre una trampa en lo alto,, y un carcelero que han ido borrando los años maniobra una roldana de hierro, y nos baja en la punta de un cordel, cántaros con agua y trozos de carne. La luz entra en la bóveda; en ese instante puedo ver al jaguar.”--- Jorge Luis Borges: La escritura del dios (El Aleph)

 

 


A scene from the tomb of the Ancient Egyptian workman Inherkhau. He was "Foreman of the Lord of the Two Lands in the Place of Truth", during the reigns of Ramesses III and Ramesses IV and he also has the title "Chief of works of the Lord of the Two Lands". These two titles tell us that he headed the community of craftsmen of Deir-el-Medina. He is represented here Kneeling before the lion "Aker" who was the god of the Horizon and also guarded the gate to the Underworld and opened it for those who were ready to enter the Court of Osiris in the Judgment Hall.
