Rhodes Archeological Museum in the Knights of St. John Hospital Building - May 19, 2023

really old stuff
Dear Friends, This blog contained some very, very old stuff...not often you see remnants of BC timing. With all of the museums, cathedrals, castles, etc that you have entered, photographed, and blogged about, do they all run together eventually? Really interesting, but the history of hospital care caught my attention. Two patients to a bed? heat for the upper echelon? I guess there has always been a separation between "classes"...even today. I am amazed at the fact that the hospital was attacked in two different wars or uprisings, and it survived. That makes me wonder if it is the poor armaments or better builders. Probably the fact that man has chosen to up the game in destruction and weapons...sad. I did enjoy the pictures and believing that mathematically speaking, the arches that are so prevalent is because they are the strongest shape as the blocks fortify each other. From home,...we are in a stalled high pressure right now and getting 80's and higher, with no rain. That brings on different weeds of course,...but when I mow, it is a cloud of dust and a hi ho Silver. Followed by about 3 hours of sneezing. I tried a mask, however my glasses fog up and I run into fences and trees. Not cool. So,..why not wear goggles? Because I am already creepy looking without looking like I am cutting toxic lawn. A lot of trees have suffered from the early warm up followed by a brutal freeze. I have seen it before, but the apples and grapes are going to take a hit. Too bad, but regardless of what some says...you have no control over Mother Nature,...it is a crap shoot. That is why I. believe farmers are the biggest risk takers in the world. Well, done babbling on, have a great day, or night,...and keep enjoying the world with Tsamaya. hugs,...cyndie
