Congratulations to the Iraqi Football National Team "Lions of Babylon" for their World Cup 2026 qualification under difficult circumstances!!!

Iraqis celebrating in Baghdad this morning after Iraq qualified for the football World Cup at a game held 6AM Iraq time. They chant "we're brothers, Sunnis and Shia and we won't betray/sell this homeland".
Iraqis are united in their rabid love for football. Congratulations 🇮🇶

I wrote about one of the East India Company's two occupations of Kharg Island in my book Return of a King. The Company actually occupied Kharg twice: once from 1838-1842, on the orders of Lord Auckland (shown below) when they eventually withdrew in confusion after the disasterous Retreat from Kabul. Then the Company occupied Kharg for a second time from 1856-7. This time they pulled out again, due the outbreak of the Great Uprising of 1857, and the Highland regiments who had occupied it under Sir Jamew Outram were rushed eastwards to break the Siege of Lucknow.

On both occasions, occupying Kharg seemed like a good idea at the time, but proved a strategic dead-end. It showed that the Company could project power into the heart of the Persian Gulf at will, but it also highlighted their inability to translate naval dominance into lasting political stability in the region.

Shame our current leaders seem unable to learn the lessons of history...

🇵🇱🏛️
For decades, Polish archaeologists have shaped our understanding of Palmyra — uncovering temples, restoring sculptures, and decoding Aramaic inscriptions. From Michał Gawlikowski to Aleksandra Kubiak-Schneider, their work continues to bring the ancient city’s voice back to life.

With sincere appreciation — we invite researchers, heritage lovers, and friends of Palmyra everywhere to share their thoughts and memories.

Za zniszczenie kamiennego bloku starożytnej świątyni z Bliskiego Wschodu groziła kara śmierci, a skradziony z niej młotek mógł sprowadzić gniew bóstwa. O pracy budowniczych świątyń opowiada dr Aleksandra Kubiak-Schneider z @uniwroc. #archeologia
