The lady of Uruk
(aka the lady of Warka, (see below). Can this sophisticated face be the oldest we have?

"On that day heaven rumbled, the earth trembled, the storm worked without respite....
The foreigners in the city even chased away its dead....
There were corpses floating in the Euphrates, brigands roamed the roads....
In Ur people were smashed as if they were clay pots.
The statues that were in the treasury were cut down...."

2004 BC the [Elamites] breached the walls of Ur and carried off its last king, Ibbi-Suen,

The story so far:
.. irrigation 5000 BC ...The main source of this revolution.[ie civilisation] .
the city of Uruk .. by 3400 BC the largest urban settlement ever

..temples..to the sky-god Anu and
the goddess of love and war, Inana

In these temples were found the earliest writings from anywhere..

Italian carabinieri have taken over Nassyriah. ..some patrols at night,
recovering two groups of looted artifacts.

Returned:
the Warka Vase (in pieces) and
the Warka Head found at ancient Uruk (modern Warka)

Herb tea I used for Eustachian blockage . ...

Elder flower, Agrimony, and Lobelia 40:40:20 %

I dont know if it worked, the blockage went in 2 weeks.
Previous blockage took 5 weeks
Lobelia: Some (incl Australian Government) say Lobelia is "not for Internal use",
some smoke it,("IndianTobacco")

Use Lobelia At Your Own Risk..
I started with sip of v weak tea,few days later a tea from 1 or 2 teaspoons of the mixture

Cutting out milk cuts down on my cough, but I like milk enough

Got an email from a relative, he found me from my old school site on the internet.

Memories of the tar-sealed yard, the games:
"Branding" was throwing a tennis ball hard enough to bruise,
"Bullrush" was groups of boys hurling themselves at the opposing lines.
I realised early that one needed strong allies in the yard
