XOS1080215 The largest and most famous sphinx is the Great Sphinx of Giza, situated at the Giza Plateau adjacent to the Great Pyramids of Giza on the west bank of the Nile River and facing due east. The sphinx is located in the north and below the pyramids. Although the date of its construction is uncertain, the head of the Great Sphinx now is believed to be that of the pharaoh Khafra.

DGC3082042 The mosaics for their most part date to after the end of the Byzantine Iconoclasm of 800 AD. Following the building's conversion into a mosque in 1453, many of its mosaics were covered with plaster, due to Islam's ban on representational imagery. This process was not completed at once, and reports exist from the 17th century in which travellers note that they could still see Christian images in the former church. In 1847–49, the building was restored by two Swiss Italian Fossati brothers, Gaspare and Giuseppe;

SVA660327 This is the only surviving representation so far known of King Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid. Khufu is identifiable here due to his Horus name being preserved on the piece. He sits on a throne, wearing the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, and a short kilt. In his right hand, over his chest, he holds a flail, while his left hand rests upon his left knee. This statue is typically cited as Old Kingdom in date, but is possibly a 26th Dynasty copy of an Old Kingdom original. Reign of Khufu (2551-2528 BC)

BL3964136 The memoranda comprise a list of valuations of livestock, seed, farm implements, ships etc., supplied by Ely Abbey to Thorney Abbey (refounded 972); an inventory of livestock on Ely Abbey farms; a list of rents, in eels, due from fenland belonging to Ely. It is not known whether the notes relate to a gift from Ely to Thorney, or to some other transaction between the two houses. No comparable documents have survived from this period. The reference to land at [Little] Thetford implies a date after 1007, when it was acquired by Ely (Hart, Early Charters (1966), pp. 32, 47).

UIS5087532 Exchequer tally, 1812. Tally sticks were a method of accounting for loans and payments used by the Treasury until 1826. Notches were cut into wooden sticks according to a code representing sums of money, date, payee and other information. The sticks were then split down the middle with the Exchequer keeping one half and the debtor the other. When the debt was due to be paid, the two halves were matched to see if they 'tallied'. If they did not, this was evidence of fraud. In 1834, a fire burning old tally sticks got out of control, causing serious damage to the Houses of Parliament.; ©SSPL/Science Museum

BL5054160 Long distance voyages were fraught with risks and shipwrecks were common, but the loss of the Fame attracted particular interest in Singapore due to its high profile passenger; Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles. This newspaper extract, taken from a rare early edition of the Singapore Chronicle, reports the details of the loss of the ship. The newspaper is also quick to report that, so soon after his last disastrous voyage, 'Sir S.

EHT5892672 The foundations for the church are likely to date to 907, and established by Edward the Elder. The site was then reconsitituted by Edgar in 967 and dedicated to St Mary and St Ethelflaeda, or St Elflaeda. The current church dates to the 12th century, with the build continuing until c1230 and constructed with stone from Chilmark. It was dissolved in 1539 and re-established as the parish church. It has a cruciform plan, with aisled nave, north and south transepts, central crossing tower and an aisled choir and chancel. On the east sides of the transepts are apsidal chapels, and there was formerly a Lady Chapel on the eastern end of the church. The rood dates to the Saxon period, and would have originally been situated inside the church. It was most likely moved to is current position in the 12th century, when cloisters were added south of the nave. It has been eroded due to the weather.

PFH2642395 Rogier van der Weyden (1399 or 1400 - 18 June 1464) was an Early Dutch / Flemish painter. His surviving works consist mainly of religious triptychs, altarpieces and commissioned single and diptych portraits. Although his life was generally uneventful, he was highly successful and internationally famous in his lifetime. His paintings were exported - or taken - to Italy and Spain, and he received commissions from, amongst others, Philip the Good, Netherlandish nobility and various foreign princes. By the latter half of the 15th century, he had eclipsed Jan van Eyck in popularity. However his fame lasted only until the 17th century, and largely due to changing taste, he was almost totally forgotten by the mid-18th century. His reputation was slowly rebuilt during the following 200 years; today he is known, with Robert Campin and van Eyck, as the third (by birth date) of the three great Early Flemish artists ('Vlaamse Primitieven'), and widely as the most influential Northern painter of the 15th century.

PFH2635903 In former centuries, the priests of Dattatreya Temple resided in the Pujari Math, a few metres to the east of the temple. The exact date of the original construction is unknown. It is assumed that the Pujari Math was completed a few years after the Dattatreya Temple, so as to provide its priests with a suitable residence. The tradition of adding Maths to temples had been established by the Adi Shankaracharya (a spiritual teacher) in 8th century in India. The Pujari Math in Bhaktapur was financed by a wealthy 16th century merchant, Gosain Gurubaksha Giri, a follower of the teachings of the Adi Shankaracharya. Having amassed a large fortune in trade with Tibet, Gosain Gurubaksha Giri donated a considerable portion of his wealth for the construction of the Math. Due to Gosain's excellent relations with Tibet, even the rulers of Nepal’s northern neighbour began to make donations to the establishment. Every year, they would send one tola (11,664 grams) of gold, one tola of silver, a horse, a woollen carpet, 365 walnuts and 216 Rupees (twice the sacred number 108). These donations went on for four centuries and were only discontinued in 1904. Furthermore, prosperous local citizens would present the Pujari Math with grants of land— the Math became probably the most financially secure priests’ residence in the whole country.

DGC872626 he deep orchestra pit of Xanthos theatre is a typical example of a structure for gladiator fights in the late Roman era. The decorations on the front of the high stage building and the detailed structure of the first floor have survived to date. The first level of the two-level theatre of Xanthos has 16 rows for spectators and 12 radial stairways. Although only four rows of the second level have survived, the subsequent building of a late Roman wall onto the second level shows that a number of seating rows were demolished in this section. Earthenware water pipes forming part of the drinking water system that run through the exterior supporting wall of the cavea are visible at the points where they emerge on the exterior. The arched entrance of the theatre opening onto the orchestra and the vaulted section positioned on the left right opposite it for the sake of symmetry are fairly intact, as are the vaulted rooms on the lower floor of the stage building. The depth of the orchestra pit is approximately nine feet. The orchestra has a radius of 43 feet. The seats with backboards arranged along the edge of the nine-foot wide central walkway at the top of the first level are to prevent the sound from being impaired by the seven-foot wall in front of the second level. The height of the stage building of the theatre must have been approximately 57 feet.Although it is difficult to estimate the actual seating capacity of the theatre due to the missing rows in the second level, in its present state it can seat approximately 3,000 people.Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988, Xanthos was the capital city of the Lycian Federation. The Xanthosians famously twice chose to commit mass suicide rather than submit to invading forces. In 540 BC the Xanthosian men set fire to their women, children, slaves and treasure upon the acropolis before making their final doomed attack upon the invading Persians. Xanthos was later repopulated but the same gruesome story repeated itself in 42 BC when Brutus attacked the city during the Roman civil wars in order to recruit troops and raise money.

UIS5084295 Two views of the Sun, 1872. Lithographic colour print issued by Harvard College Observatory in 1876, showing the solar photosphere, the visible surface of the Sun. Based on sketches made by Etienne Leopold Trouvelot (1827-1895), a French artist, they show the Sun's appearance in white light on two dates during 1872. Most noticeable are dark markings called sunspots, which are areas of cooler gas on the Sun's surface. In marked contrast are white features called faculae, areas of solar surface that are hotter than their surroundings. With a dazzlingly bright surface and a temperature of over 6000 degrees centigrade these dark and light features are due to contrast effects. The number of sunspots slowly increases to a maximum and then falls back in a clear 11- year cycle first recognised by the German astronomer, Heinrich Schwabe, in 1843. ©SSPL/Science Museum

But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no way slay it: she is the mother therof. '

Little is known of him, besides his ukiyo-e prints; neither his true name nor the dates of his birth or death are known with any certainty. His active career as a woodblock artist seems to have spanned just ten months in the mid-Edo period of Japanese history, from the middle of 1794 to early 1795.

PCT4261002 Engraving from the book of Ambroise Parare: Monsters and Wonders (1573) - Excerpts from the text: “” Hippocrats on the generation of monsters says that if there is too much seed there will be many portees or a monstrous child with superfluous and useless parts such as two heads, four arms or legs, six fingers of hands and feet or others things. On the contrary, if the seed fails in quantity, some limb will be defective, like having only one hand, no arm, or feet, or head, or other defaillant part. [...] In 1569, a woman from Tours bore two gems with only one head, who kissed each other and were given to me dry and anatomized by Master Rene Ciret, master barber and surgeon.””
