Crosses on the wall at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Holy Land of Jerusalem. Until now, religious scholars believe that medieval pilgrims traveling to this sacred site carved images of crosses on the walls. But new research has shown that only a handful of people, be they masons or artisans, carved these crosses on behalf of pilgrims, who may have kept the dust from carved as a sacred keepsake. Some crosses date from the 14th or 15th centuries, hundreds of years after the Crusades in the Holy Land (1096-1291), suggesting that post-medieval pilgrims may have made the trees. Cross. “During our research, we scrutinized, analyzed every millimeter inside the crosses – their depth, their width, even the hands of the people who carved them,” said the project leader. Project Amit Re’em, Jerusalem regional archaeologist with the Israel Antiquities Authority said. The team found that it was one person, or several, responsible for making these crosses, not the hundreds and thousands of pilgrims who visited the church. Re’em got the idea for research while visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The church was built in the 4th century, when Saint Helena, mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, traveled to Jerusalem, and according to legend, helped discover the place where Jesus was crucified, burial and resurrection. Constantine had a basilica built there, and it was later called the Church of the Tomb. Together with colleagues Moshe Caine and Doron Altaratz, professor and senior lecturer, in the Department of Photographic Communication at Hadassah Academic College in Jerusalem, the team used three photographic techniques to record the shape of the crosses: photogrammetry, reflectance-conversion imaging (RTI) and gigapixel imaging. For the optical measurement, the team took between 50 and 500 images of each subject, with each image at a different angle, and then used software to create a digital 3D image based on the triangulation of all The pictures. Meanwhile, with gigapixel photography, which is similar to zooming in from the whole world to a close-up street view on Google Maps, the team took multiple photos of the carved surfaces. All of these techniques help Re’em investigate the similarities and differences, including the chisel technique, of each carved cross. Furthermore, when the researchers took pictures of the crosses, they noticed inscriptions of names and dates engraved along them. “We found that the crosses were carved around the inscriptions, which means that the crosses date to or slightly later than the inscriptions,” Re’em said. After reading about the research being done in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz recently, William Purkis, a reader of medieval history at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, contacted Re’em. Purkis said he shares the same thoughts with Israeli researchers on the findings that these crosses were made by only a few experts. It is possible that the pilgrims paid a stone mason or an artist to carve a cross for them in the church, and then saved the dust as a sacred keepsake, Purkis said. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims were known to carry small lead vessels filled with souvenirs of the Holy Land, such as water from the Jordan River. Two of these medieval vases are in museums – the Cleveland Museum of Art and the British Museum.

But few people know this simple act of hygiene was one of the important rituals of the aristocracy and the physically fit in medieval Europe. Washing hands was a rite of passage for the aristocracy and the physically fit in medieval Europe. (Image: Getty Images) People in the Middle Ages were often thought of as lacking a sense of personal hygiene, but the opposite was true. The kings and peasants of that time bathed thoroughly before and after meals. Furthermore, because cutlery is a rarity and most people eat with their hands, it is essential to keep hands clean before eating, and also to show respect to the person hosting the meal. “ Keep your fingers clean and your fingernails well-manicured , from Les Contenances de Table, a medieval text on table manners. Gradually, hand washing evolved into a ritual showing the power and wealth of the nobility, and washing hands was also considered a “sign of politeness”. Medieval aristocrats and clergy took hand-washing and face-washing to a new level. Even this action was solemnly organized by ancient European kings, with many complicated stages. When the princes have guests, they will invite guests to enjoy music and invite them to wash their hands with luxurious sinks, brand new high-end white towels and lotions. A team of servants will be around to help guests wash their hands. Women must wash their hands before going to the party, because in ancient times there was a belief that only girls with noble and pure dignity could touch white cloth without leaving a speck of dirt. After the guests were seated in the hall, the king entered and washed his hands in the presence of all the guests. Only after the king had finished his work were the others allowed to sit down. According to Amanda Mikolic, assistant curator of the Department of Medieval Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, it was a display of royal power for monarchs to wash their hands in front of guests. “ It’s a game of thrones to remind (guests) who holds the power ” said Ms. Mikolic. Lavabo – European hand sanitizer dispenser in the Middle Ages. (Image: Getty Images) ostentatious ceremony All elaborate rituals require ostentatious tools, in which case handwashing is bound to involve soap. From time immemorial, Crusader soldiers brought luxurious Aleppo soap made from olive oil and laurel to Europe. Before long, the French, Italians, Spaniards, and eventually the British all started making their own versions of Aleppo soap using local olive oil instead of the pungent tallow of many. previous century. Perhaps the most famous of the European soaps of the time was the Spanish Castile soap. Today, this soap is still produced and used around the world. Along with soap, the water jug ​​also played an equally important role in the hand-washing ritual of medieval European aristocrats. These vases are often very elaborately decorated and contain warm water mixed with aromatic oils. Another version of this tool is the lavabo – an object shaped like a bowl with a spout. In the most wealthy households, servants will sprinkle fragrant water on the hands of the owners before the meal. The role of the pitcher was so appreciated that Queen Jeanne d’Évreux of France, wife of King Charles IV, displayed a vase in the place of her favorite ornaments. After that, hand washing gradually became less important than before. Many historical scholars have blamed the fork for making people disregard hand hygiene before eating. It was not until the 18th century that this tool was commonly used in meals. “ The whole ceremonial nature around hand washing began to fade as the role of the tableware (knife, fork) became more prominent. Households began to prepare tableware for guests, and then people could eat without taking off their gloves. ” said Ms. Mikolic. But today, even though elaborately decorated water jugs and washbasins are out of fashion, hand washing can still show one’s wealth. It is still too early to say that the rituals of the pandemic period will stick with people for a long time. But today, though ornate water jugs and washbasins are out of fashion, hand-washing can still show a person’s wealth: through hand-painted metal sinks, expensive soaps and soaps. from essential oils to luxurious Egyptian cotton towels, etc. The luxurious rituals surrounding hand washing are constantly being created and developed. “ Every time I use soap, I’m reminded of medieval perfumes “, shared Mikolic.

The 2,000-year-old marble head of Emperor Augustus has just been unearthed. Photo: CNN “While we were digging behind the wall, I saw the soil change color,” said Giancola. So we continued to dig carefully and discovered a block of marble. I immediately recognized it as the head of Emperor Augustus due to the hair and the shape and cut of the eyes.” According to archaeologist Maria Diletta Colombo of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the head of the statue is about 35cm high, possibly dating from 20 BC to 10 AD. This head may have been detached from the more than 2m tall statue, which is also made of Lunigiana marble. This statue most likely depicts the young Emperor Augustus Octavian. “This is a very important finding; However, archaeologists have not been able to determine why the head of Emperor Augustus is in that area. The head of this statue should have been placed in a temple or a certain area reserved for the Royal Family.” The town of Isernia, known as Aesernia in the ancient world, was the land of the Samnites, Italy.

For human life today, toilets are extremely popular to serve the daily needs of each individual. However, under the Middle Ages, the aristocrats in Europe had a unique way of dealing with “sadness” in the context of not having toilets in the house. Specifically, hundreds of years ago, the aristocracy in some European countries used a ceramic vase named Bourdaloue when needed to go to the toilet. The Bourdaloue ceramic vase is designed with an oval shape. In addition to ceramic, it is also made of porcelain. Bourdaloue vases are sold in ceramic shops. Customers of the aristocracy often bought a few for home use. Accordingly, the Bourdaloue urns are placed in several rooms, including bedrooms for aristocrats to use at times of day. Unlike men, female aristocrats in Europe often wore spread-out dresses. Therefore, the noblewoman can use a skirt to hide the Bourdaloue vase inside while going to the toilet without losing her aesthetics. After use, the servant will take the Bourdaloue bottle to waste and clean it before placing it back in place. Thanks to the Bourdaloue vase, the aristocracy in ancient Europe was able to handle “sadness” in its own way. Later, the Bourdaloue vase no longer prevailed and gradually disappeared from society when the sanitary ware was invented.

One of the reasons that inspired me to write about Marco Polo is that I believe that his adventures live forever, ”the author said.

A fascinating biography about Marco Polo has just been released to readers in Vietnam Polo introduced China’s cultural wealth to Europe, sparking the West’s centuries-old fascination with Asia.

In a lively blend of history, biography and travel, author Laurence Bergreen separates legend from history, narrative and writes with a keen eye to detail to create a document that is most relevant. about Polo’s adventures. “Marco Polo – From Venice to Shanghai” is as fascinating as the life it describes. According to author Laurence Bergreen, today there are more Marco Polo ever. With this film biography, he is talking about global entrepreneurs who pioneered East-West trade promotion. Like Marco in the past, they discovered that trade is a common language that can cross all religious, political and geographical boundaries. The author also said that with Marco Polo’s life more or less “fictional”, this traveler still made him go from surprise to surprise. The first is how to apply his observations to today’s world, to international trade, to diplomacy, global conflict and the weakening and demise of political systems, and finance. Another aspect is how Marco Polo is classified. Marco Polo has always been considered a typical medieval explorer, but the medieval period in which he grew up was extremely prosperous and dynamic. It is not a rigid stage where everything becomes one. Venice is one of the most developed regions in Western Europe. Just being born there gave him the advantages of the times. Despite a medieval mindset, Marco aimed to go beyond the limits and challenge the mainstream. “By today’s standards you have done many things beyond common sense. Although he does not say clearly, but he sees man as the measure of everything, so in my eyes he looks more like a person from the Renaissance “- author Laurence Bergreen wrote.

In the Middle Ages, the castles were where the royal family lived. They live together under the protection of bodyguards, soldiers … Today, the old castles are often renovated into museums. Only a handful of people choose to live in a castle like Yulia. She was born in Russia but raised in Germany. Currently, Yulia lives and works in Spain. While in Germany, Yulia had the experience of living in a castle built in 1482. The castle was not owned by Yulia, but she lived there for 2 years. The reason is that Yulia and her husband suggested the castle owner let them live here. In return, they will repair and renovate the castle. When Yulia first arrived at the castle, things were still medieval. For example, the interior space is kept warm with wood and there is no running water. According to Bored Panda, the castle looks intact despite many battles. It is not as flashy as the fairytale castles, but it is enough for the Yulia couple and 6 cats to live. Since there is a large forest around the castle, cats can freely go foraging. Yulia said she still provided them with adequate food. Even the money Yulia spent to buy food for 6 cats is more than it is spent on herself. Since coming to live in the castle, Yulia has remodeled many things, starting with the kitchen. She bought an oven and installed a sink. Water for daily life is well water. In addition, electricity sometimes flickers. The Russian girl admits that life here is no different from the Middle Ages. According to Yulia, the couple never intended to modernize the castle. They simply repaired small things like doors and balconies, installed telephone lines and the Internet and blocked holes to prevent mice and bugs from entering. Responding to Bored Panda, Yulia said she could not complete the castle renovation while living here. Since this is a historic site, major renovation projects need to go through many levels of management. Currently, a part of the castle is being used as a hotel for people working remotely. In the photo, the interior is used by Yulia for the renovation. She made her own bed and kitchen cabinets out of wood. Yulia’s cats love to stay near a fireplace in winter. According to Yulia, when winter comes, indoor temperatures can drop below 8 degrees Celsius. In summer, the temperature in the castle is not better (about 40 degrees C). Another difficulty is that many wild animals often appear around the castle. “People shouldn’t think only rich people live in castles. Not many people live a few nights here,” she said. The castle inherently has a toilet inside. The toilet repaired by Yulia looks like a wooden chair with an ashtray beside it. The zipper on the picture is not for draining but to call the servant to clean. To drain the water, you will have to rush it. Yulia loves everything related to the Middle Ages, and her dress reflects that. “If you are having mental problems, leave modern life and try to be like your ancestors. Spend extra time on yourself instead of getting into the cycle of work,” she said.

Semen is released during sex when the man has reached orgasm. Semen contains sperm and is known for its primary function as fertilization. However, many women transmit sperm to each other with a new function of beautifying the skin. So what is this effect of damage?

According to oral experience of some people, after applying directly or masking spermatozoa with other fruits, facial skin becomes smoother and more youthful. Moreover, this is a natural beauty measure, without worrying about side effects of chemicals. This information makes many women excited, so even though it is a bit disgusting, they are still determined to try this beauty method which is called “miracle”.

When it comes to beauty with sperm, everyone thinks immediately where to get sperm? Many sisters squeezed out their husband’s exhaustion to get sperm to take care of the skin. It is not difficult for some other people to find sperm that is sold quite publicly on the Internet. Currently, many subjects such as male students, workers … are also ready to provide semen to the beauty sellers. Buying sperm is not difficult, but the price is quite high and no one can verify that the sperm has germs or not?

In fact, semen released from the man’s body each time to the top consists of many beneficial minerals. Semen and sperm itself contain vitamin C and vitamin B12. These are two substances found in many skin care products because they help rejuvenate the skin. At the same time, semen also contains sugars, proteins and amino acids, minerals, vitamins, hormones, lactic acid, urea, uric acid and nitrogen. The above substances all work on the body. However, whether it is a good effect or not depends on dosage and purification, combination. All such products have been treated to remove harmful substances. There is also no way of beauty with sperm “fresh” as people say.

Sisters rumored each other about the beauty effects of sperm without understanding the problem. Sperm preservation from the time it comes out of the body is very important. In the vaginal environment, sperm live for up to 5 days, but in the wild, after 30 minutes, they begin to die and lose their effectiveness. At that time, women who applied on the face not only did not work but also faced the risk of allergies, especially with sensitive skin. To preserve, we have to use cold nitrogen – 196 degrees Celsius.

Women need to pay special attention, when using semen of unknown origin, people are also at risk of contracting dangerous diseases such as gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV infection, hepatitis B … facial skin with open wounds or acne, absolutely do not arbitrarily apply semen on the face because at this time the risk of infection is very large.

Another risk is that the beauty effect you get is not worth the money and effort you put into it. This may be because you meet unprofessional practitioners, use fake products, or simply because the sperm products don’t work as advertised.

With “home grown” sperm, although it may be safer to use, however, doctors recommend that women absolutely should not force her husband to ejaculate to get semen. That both inhibits the male nerves and makes them more susceptible to metastases.

There are some records that in the Middle Ages, people used sperm masks to rejuvenate the skin. However, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of these documents. Furthermore, the science of the Middle Ages is much more limited than today. In fact, in the world there are studies and use of sperm in beauty, even drinking sperm, but this is only personal, but there is no scientific confirmation or method of use. specific tools. In our country, the testing is only conducted by a number of specialists or clinics without any official announcement.

Women should not take their face out to test how to beautify their skin with sperm. Because everything related to health once it is put into widespread use in the community must be based on medical evidence with clinical trials to verify the effectiveness. All rumors are baseless and can have immeasurable consequences.
