The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights This rich and fascinating collection from the Altai mountains dates to the Scythian-Sakae period (6th–4th centuries BC) and embraces over 5,000 items. At its heart lie the unique articles found during excavation of the burial mounds of Pazyryk in the Eastern part of the High Altai, at a height of 1,600 metres above sea level. Large Altaic burial mounds were intended for those who occupied high positions in early nomadic society, such as chiefs, elders and priests. According to custom, the chief's wife or concubine was also buried with him and all the dead bodies were embalmed. Local climactic conditions proved to be ideal for the preservation of these tombs, as water and moisture gradually seeped down between the stones and turned to ice in the winter, never thawing during the summer, thus freezing and preserving items of wood, felt, leather, fur, silk and other perishable materials. Of great interest is the body of the chief from Burial Mound No. 2 at Pazyryk.

The Pazyryk (Russian: Пазырык) burials are a number of Iron Age tombs found in the Pazyryk Valley of the Ukok plateau in the Altai Mountains, Siberia, south of the modern city of Novosibirsk, Russia; the site is close to the borders with China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.[1] Numerous comparable burials have been found in neighboring western Mongolia. The tombs are Scythian-type kurgans, barrow-like tomb mounds containing wooden chambers covered over by large cairns of boulders and stones, dated to the 4th - 3rd centuries BCE.[2] The spectacular burials at Pazyryk are responsible for the introduction of the term kurgan, a Russian word of Turkic origin, into general usage to describe these tombs.

Ruche qui dit Oui de Meyras 20 Beautiful Private and Personal Libraries Here at Flavorpill, we can’t really get enough of gazing lovingly at photographs of books. We know it’s what’s inside that counts, but one simple fact just can’t be avoided: books are beautiful, and they sure do warm up a room — or, in some cases, an entire building. Plus, at the risk of being totally sentimental, we think that the best books are often the most beautiful: even if their spines are shabby, the exude a kind of well-loved glow, beautiful from the inside out. American entrepreneur Jay Walker’s private library — so important (and massive) that his house was designed and built around it.
Pazyryk culture The Pazyryk culture is an Iron Age archaeological culture (c. 6th to 3rd centuries BC) identified by excavated artifacts and mummified humans found in the Siberian permafrost in the Altay Mountains and nearby Mongolia. The mummies are buried in long barrows (or kurgans) similar to the tomb mounds of western Scythian culture in modern Ukraine. The type site are the Pazyryk burials of the Ukok Plateau.(NOVA 2007) Many artifacts and human remains have been found at this location, including the Siberian Ice Princess, indicating a flourishing culture at this location that benefited from the many trade routes and caravans of merchants passing through the area. Other kurgan cemeteries associated with the culture include those of Bashadar, Tuekta, Ulandryk, Polosmak and Berel. Genetic composition[edit] The gene pool of the inhabitants of the Mongolian Altai site during the Iron Age was similar to that of western Iron Age Altaians (Russia and Kazakhstan).

Vivre sans argent en France, pas si difficile que ça Après avoir passé trois ans sur le continent américain à « vivre sans argent », c’est-à-dire sans salaire, me voici de retour en France. Ce choix de vie fonctionnait plutôt bien outre-Atlantique et j’étais curieux de voir comment la France et les Français réagiraient à ce genre d’initiatives. Making of Depuis que Benjamin Lesage a ouvert son porte-monnaie de voyageur sans argent à Rue89, nous avons gardé contact. Le jeune couple a un projet fou : monter une communauté sans argent, dans le sud de la France. Cet été, ils sont partis sur les routes – toujours sans le sou – pour visiter des éco-lieux et essayer de trouver l'endroit idéal pour démarrer leur projet, Eotopia. Dans Eotopia, éco-lieu végétalien, « tout sera gratuit, dénué d’échanges commerciaux ». J’étais à Belfort lorsque la douleur surgit et je me mis immédiatement en quête d’un dentiste. Elle me fixa un autre rendez-vous pour que nous parlions de ce que je pouvais faire pour elle mais, « a priori, il n’y a pas de problèmes ».

L’arnaque du faux miel, 30 % de contrefaçon en supermarchés Miel de Chine En Chine le miel est 100% industriel car les chinois estiment que les abeilles ne sont pas assez rapide, ils fabriquent donc le miel en mélangeant tous les ingrédients chimique. Ce faux miel est ensuite exporté partout dans le monde et donc dans l’hexagone puisque la demande des consommateurs français se fait plus grande et que les apiculteurs ont du mal à augmenter leur production. L’avantage de ce miel c’est qu’il est moins cher, mais ce n’est plus du miel et les fournisseurs de cette mélasse chimique le savent bien car ils n’indiquent jamais que le miel vient de Chine.

My Life All in One Place: The "please-make-one-for-me" post - buying my notebook covers ** Edited July 2014 to update prices ** I'm a big fan of the Midori Traveler's Notebook. It is simple, functional and beautiful. I thought it would be easy to make one myself, perhaps with different-coloured leathers. People liked the idea of having such a notebook cover, but many told me they didn't feel confident enough to make one themselves. I made lots of them. If you want me to make one for you, I'd be happy to. You have choices. My prices are £29 for full size and £21 for FN and PP sizes. Available colours will vary from time to time. You might also like your name (or someone else's) stamped on the cover, and I can do this at no extra cost. Once we've got all the details agreed, I'll ask you to pay through PayPal and then I'll get started.
