Rare smiling Medusa unearthed in Türkiye's ancient city founded by Queen Amastris

The stoa is being rebuilt through a meticulous restoration process known as anastylosis, in which original architectural elements are reassembled stone by stone in their presumed original positions.

Within the scope of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism’s “Heritage for the Future" project, three columns have already been re-erected using original pieces, while four more columns, together with blocks, ceiling coffers and other architectural fragments, have been documented and prepared to go up in the next phase.

The most striking find to emerge from the restoration of the stoa so far has been a Medusa figure carved on the ceiling coffers, the decorated panels placed above the marble columns.

In Greek mythology, Medusa is known as a female monster with snakes for hair, sharp teeth and a gaze said to turn onlookers into stone. In many ancient buildings and objects, her image was used in order to frighten enemies and to act as a protective symbol on façades, shields and pediments.

@GinevraCat @purplepadma Between 30cm and 50cm of snow in Gothenburg, and more to come in the next 24 hours.

I have NEVER been in this much snow before, in 56 years. I feel stupid happy!

But I think we'll be less happy when it starts to melt, and we're drowning in freezing slush for a week 🤣

@GrahamDowns Haha no this just came up and rather suited the mood. It was immediately followed by Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedys.

Sliiiide to the left. Sliiiide to the right. Criss-cross! Criss-cross! Cha cha real smooth.

@withaveeay It is fun. This intro has been a little expensive though, but there are clearly ways to optimise the cost. We can get some second-hand skis and poles. Get season tickets.

It's extremely tiring when you have little experience. But competent skiers don't seem to use a lot of energy in order to move fast. I don't think it will take very long to reach a sufficient skill to make a cross-country holiday worthwhile!

@withaveeay They told me to relax. I relaxed. I fell over.

@withaveeay Ntando getting the hang of it. #ski #skidor #skidome

@kaasbaas All hail Discordia.

@withaveeay Haha yeah Ntando and I are going to try out those very long soles tomorrow evening. Someone is going to show us how to do it. Apparently it's fun, and who are we to deny ourselves fun?

Snow falls steadily. Weather app keeps saying 'snow will probably stop in the next few hours', but there is no sign of that.

I'm taking advantage by learning how to run in it. The main advantage is rapid cooling. The main disadvantages are that I can't stop moving or I'll get cold, and downhill slopes can be slippery.
