"Drive through pay-phones". Rare but not unheard of in Japan. Pay-phones work without power or even if cell phone masts are knocked out or overwhelmed in disasters. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e947af875825e9e902b0bac0ea49b104e78b5f6c6c165067b29630d4f242d93e.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5ba960fb2fdd54801ff5881fffb0cf44ab8bb1c89ccff6484f2ee311bc7a4a74.file

If it isn't "controversial with architects" you need to worry. Good work, Mr. K. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ad1daf429f292ddaea3ebf1582f7532ee296c8c1c3699a87b1478043cd421590.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2e67142a70d68334b10955b64fa21874ac20ab6ebbb3115c2d544d67378c44c2.file
RT @DanDavisWrites@twitter.com: Fascinating story of different techniques and subsequent research providing different results. The earliest paper used a modern forensic tool not designed for ancient populations to assess her ancestry from skull measurements. Then a DNA test revealed she was actually of Mediterranean ancestry, likely from Cyprus. And a new DNA study has now shown she was actually a local British woman. This is why we can't always draw firm conclusions from a single piece of data or a published paper. The good thing the about scientific method is you can keep doing work to find more information and get closer to the truth over time. Ancient DNA studies are absolutely incredible and continue to illuminate our understanding of the past. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/51d793b94efdb724817603b6c6cbfff8ce639149909078ac005caf4b2ddbdf71.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/baeed8e65bbc339833d5b03324917b0cf34698fcd738eec69eba3d5ee7813114.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/bdf6b748f10ee4f92ceb77bf1a14666dae18c85cc542cd640c5a919e68fab23b.file

The people who designed, built, and used this building had probably never seen a Western building in real life, or if they had, only pseudo-western buildings built by others like them. Still it is a beautiful building beloved by locals. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ced772e4a8a43cbcb476fd3b5a5fd9347da64fb2264ee76782e1833b5fa3b924.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/b9b661ecc78c7f7215d0351cec28cdb1657187175f8079ac636e0a9c3d79cb12.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/05890fa8951b0be1ede939bcc89be14d2d7b44ddcd83044f1f2d00216e353938.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/766751c33be57d86333e77dfa25338b8daa9ca38d09903d6fea8637d042b1175.file
LΓΌbeck, founded as a German city in 1143. as it looked in the 15th c. and in the early 19th c. Almost all of the traffic in the city was on foot, goods were carried on carts from the rivers where ships could stay secure and act as floating warehouses. The city itself occupied the most secure point as the southwestern-most point of the Baltic sea. In 1398 the Stecknitz canal opened, meaning the city now controlled the only secure point between the North Sea and the Baltic. The city government was basically controlled by the merchants, who built representative townhouses between their floating warehouses and the market place on lots 9m wide and 36m deep. The front was for business, living was in the back. Poorer members of the merchant families lived in small houses on cul-de-sacs or on courtyard houses. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/88307ed0df550f8f201d422279a2c31d999a5edc8e32d27fa0031ec64921cd3a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d0ec9ebad7d820b2373175010b180b30ae18b5e26d4f8d6bf90b376ed2ad83e4.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/67a91d40997deeab3c85e7a7321cd6e031ece82ad9b3ea72828fd2a63b24df7a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/31f4f93fb995b4a42362c6d790f0c662143ff3683f2a8e61feb28e95d9a22745.file
