An old 19th century chest was scheduled for sale at auction in Newport, Shropshire, England in late 2023 ......

Old Lemon Sold By Auction

 ..... so to that end, the chest was being photographed.

Religious Edicts

All religions like an edict ..... 

The Devil And Hot Cross Buns

 

..... that is to say, that although we are mostly all too familiar with the Muslim Fatwah, which usually bans or condemns something (everything), now and again the occasional Christian clergy like to pass a judgement.

Death March 950 AD

An interesting archaeological discovery in Dorset has found the decapitated, naked bodies of at least 51 young men found thrown into a old quarry and their heads piled on top. Evidence suggests that the prisoners (they were naked and unarmed), were a fighting force who were captured, and then decapitated in a rather messy manner.

Whether they were Vikings (likely) or Saxons is not absolutely certain, but the mass execution and grave rings uncannily true with events in the 20th century, in Iraq or the Balkans.

We have not improved much in the last thousand years.
