If there is to be war, let a thousand flowers bloom.

For at least, our hearts might find a little peace.

@RnaudBertrand It’s an extraordinary and interesting concept, but so far all the photos are AI representations (as a start, that’s not lavender).

Curious to see what it looks like when it’s actually constructed. It seems it hasn’t been yet.

Perhaps, to truly grow, we should study Art not war.

A crown so delicate that the flowers seem to float in your hair, made nearly 4000 years ago....

Unearthed untouched in the tomb of Princess Khenmet at Dahshur, this exquisite gold diadem is a masterpiece of ancient craftsmanship. Woven from interlaced gold wires, it holds nearly two hundred tiny flowers, each with a carnelian center and five petals inlaid with turquoise. These blossoms are arranged around clusters shaped like lotus blossoms and secured with pins so fine the whole works must have seemed like shimmering blossoms among her hair.

The diadem comes from the 12th Dynasty of Egypt, during the Middle Kingdom, under the reign of Amenemhat II. Princess Khenmet shared her tomb with her sister Ita in a burial complex near the pyramid of Amenemhat II. Her parentage is not absolutely certain, but her position and burial goods strongly suggest she was royalty.

What makes this crown especially breathtaking is its lightness. The gold floral network is so delicate that each flower might have moved with the breeze, shimmering against her head as though scattered petals. These kinds of adornments were more than just jewelry. They were statements of status, artistry, and belief, symbols meant to accompany royalty into the afterlife.

Though the diadem was found in perfect funerary context, scholars still debate whether Khenmet ever wore it in life or if it was made solely to be buried with her. Either way, the craftsmanship reveals just how ski*led Egyptian goldsmiths had become, working with gold, carnelian, and turquoise to create pieces that were beautiful, symbolic, and technically demanding.

Strange Fact: The design uses “cross-like” clusters of lotus blossoms which are not crosses in the Western sense but represent flower clusters, a reminder that images we think we recognize in ancient artifacts often carry very different meanings in their own culture

@alexbward Insane that journalists like you aren’t pointing out what the clear consequences of Trumps reckless and unstable behaviour will be. They’ve fired the opposition in the US military.

The global economy will be devastated. All for hubris. What a tragedy! The media has failed #truth

An Iranian ballistic missile(s) struck the Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia, causing significant fires. Iran was likely aiming for petrochemical facilities owned by Saudi Basic Industries Corporation, Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemical company.

It owns or has a major stake in many petrochemical plants in Jubail such as the Jubail United Petrochemical Company, KEMYA (with ExxonMobil), Petrokemya, Saudi Kayan, SADAF (with Shell), and many others focused on ethylene, polyethylene, ethylene glycol, fertilizers, & plastics.

Jubail is the world's single largest industrial hub, producing 7% of the world's entire petrochemical output. Jubail and Yanbu (where Saudi has its second largest petrochemical complex) account for 85% of Saudi Arabia's non-oil exports.

Jubail's size is staggering, with an area spanning over 1,000 km² and over 150 industrial facilities. It contributes 7-12% of Saudi Arabia's entire GDP, depending on the estimate, along with 50% of the Kingdom's entire foreign direct investment.

Juabil also has refining capabilities, processing over 500,000-700,000 barrels per day. There are also major steel, aluminium, fertilizer, and chemical facilities, along with the power stations that keep the cluster running. It's connected to the King Fahd Industrial Port, which has an annual capacity of 70 million tons.

Patriot PAC-2s either failed to intercept some or all of the missiles launched, prompting the interceptors to self-destruct in the air so they wouldn't cause additional damage. The Saudi Ministry of Defense claims they intercepted 7 ballistic missiles launched towards the Eastern Province.

A peacekeeper was tragically killed last night when a projectile exploded in a UNIFIL position near Adchit Al Qusayr. Another was critically injured. No one should ever lose their life serving the cause of peace.

[Lost Fleurs @lost_fleurs]

Perhaps we all just need to talk to the Angels of Peace.

Wars serve no-one.

[Lost Fleurs @lost_fleurs]

I know so many artists across the Middle East 💙 and from all over the world. Their lives are being devastated right now, and all because of a war that won’t solve anything.

May peace come to Earth 🕊️

[Lost Fleurs @lost_fleurs]

Drop Site News is one of the best small media outlets in the USA. If you’re looking for verified information from across the Middle East war, I suggest you follow them.
Many countries, including #KSA, #UAE, #Bahrain, #Israel, & #Iran are censoring footage of missile damage.

[Bruno Maçães @MacaesBruno]

The US and Israel massacred 170 little girls (ages 7-12) in one bombing. What an indictment of the US media as a whole that the photos of the funeral procession and the graves being dug are not on every front page.

Everywhere I am here, in many places, unknown, my voice attuned to reason, love and new beginnings: my voice has been gradually silenced. Art heals. Love heals.

Why are headlines posted like this on a major news site? What’s newsworthy about this?

It’s because we now live in a world where there is a small chance that America is behind this.

This is where we are at.

They did it to Venezuela, fuel for the Trump gang is outrage.
