If only we could be like fleet-footed Hermes and steal a moment in time, then seize what was lost.

For my latest article for @BBC_Culture, I wrote about the women freedom fighters of the Haitian Revolution. Women like Sanité Bélair who had bravery, determination and dedication against all odds for the liberation of #Haiti. Very proud of this piece https://t.co/vSecBLwsIt

Interesting!

The most stubbornly persistent myth about historic buildings is the yarn that all spiral stairs in castles turn clockwise to advantage right-handed defenders. Yet it was invented in 1902 by an art critic and didn't gain popularity until the mid-20th century... a thread 🧵

1/ During the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD), members of imperial family were buried in jade burial suits. Jade was believed to possess magical properties that would protect the body from decay and ward off evil spirits. This suit is constructed of 4,248 custom-cut jade pieces connected by gold wire.
