76 sacrificed children found from the 8th century Chimu Empire in Peru. All have had their hearts removed. Probably sacrificed to ensure good harvests for the whole community for years to come.

Everything we think of as a new fangled invention, some ingenious culture had thousands of years ago. This time its the Romans with the refrigerator.

This is a mist read thread!! How do we know Hadrian built the wall and the history of the longest footnote ever!

[John Bull @garius]

It's Friday. Have some history.

So you know Hadrian's Wall? Well for over 1000 years everyone thought it was built by someone else.

Until, in 1840, John Hodgson, an unknown Northumbrian clergyman published the LONGEST footnote in history.

Do you know the difference between KPIs and diagnostic measurements and are you using then in the right ways? Some food points raised here.

Are We There Yet? Not really. Maybe halfway, at the best case scenario by @lumamendes https://t.co/1fOH2cH8E6 Thanks to @sebchan for the heads-up on this interesting project

Agree this should definitely be a paid role, especially if it will require a contract to maintain data confidentiality.

[Fair Museum Jobs @fair_jobs]

Interesting choices @V_and_A this week. Looking for a volunteer to deliver what is inarguably core IT department activity FOR FREE.

It is never acceptable for volunteers to deliver a level of role that would reasonably expected of paid staff.

Interesting bit of history. Also evidence for a bit of a PR fail from the Royal family.

@LVShaw @OxfordCultural End of an era! Start of something new. Congratulations.

Tomb the size of a New York city block being excavated at Zhangzhou, dating to the Shang Dynasty. Among other treasures, a rare gold mask, maybe confirming early belief in the Chinese idea of the invincible golden man. https://t.co/Qm0G3kSh7e

@Adam_Creighton Wow, that's a lot of hate in the replies. Anyway, here in Brazil we've been using masks for 9 months, and it's definitely not humiliating. But there has emerged "shaming" of people who don't wear them. Woe be u if you post a photo without a mask, you'll get similar responses.
