Archaeologists in Norway recently uncovered this fantastic wooden figurine. They’ve dated it to the mid-thirteenth century, but who is it? The person is carrying a falcon—so possibly the medieval king Haakon Haakonsson, a known falconry enthusiast.

NEW Europe's largest assemblage of Iron Age iron bars has been uncovered during industrial gravel extraction in Austria!
Large enough to equip 500 warriors with swords, they indicate production and trade of iron on an unprecedented scale.

What is consciousness? 🧠 ✨
A landmark 7-year study suggests it may be related to sensory processing and perception. The findings could impact how we think about measuring #consciousness and diagnosing comas or vegetative states. alleninstitute.org/news/land…
