Well this is cool #medieval news! As one of the researchers, Artur Obluski, says on Twitter, 'Seems that gods of excavations favoured us in the very last season of ERC_Research #Umma grant . We found not only the stone blocks from walls and floor of a #Napatan temple of #Amun of #GemAton #Kawa but also enigmatic complex of chambers covered with wall paintings and inscriptions dated probably to around 1276 CE One of the paintings presents king David of Makuria in intimate and dynamic scene with #archangel Michael and #Christ kissing the hand of the latter and probably begging for protection of the city of #Tungul (Old Dongola) against the wrath of #Mamluks unique for #Christian art The other painting shows #MotherOfGod in a unique, uncommon way and as far as I'm concerned unknown in #Christian #iconography holding a book in one and a cross in other hand and dressed in kind of monochromatic greyish robe".

#NowWatching #Umma, and after over half of the movie, I'm sure I've seen it before. Can't remember exactly how it ends.

God, my memory is shit.

I wonder if that comes from my ECT, Parkinson's related cognitive impairment, or just having watched way too many movies. 😹

The head of #Russia's largest #Islamic publishing house #Umma, #AslambekEzhaev, was sentenced to 17 years in prison on charges of financing terrorism.

Ezhaev denied all charges and any links to terrorist organizations.

⁉️#RussiaIsATerroristState but they sentenced him for #Terrorism 🤷‍♂️

What could we #Jews and #Muslims do together?

A group of Jews & Muslims assembled at the Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles, and also at City Hall, and performed their prayers together publicly. The day ended with a rooftop Isha’a, the Muslim midnight prayer while the Jewish participants recited Piyyutim, liturgical poetry.

We could do such things in our own community.

I finished watching The Darkness today and it has opened all sorts of new questions. I went down a rabbit hole about David Mazouz and it appears that he played a very similar character in another movie called #Incarnate

I will have to watch that at a later time I think. However, thanks to the wonder of "similar choices" on #Netflix I have discovered an absolutely incredible movie called #Umma which stars Sandra Oh. I was amazed and thrilled with this movie !! Loved the folklore in it from a Korean perspective. Outstanding movie and cannot recommend enough.
