Notre Dame's Hidden Past | Archeology Magazine

One of the greatest architectural works of art ever constructed, the devastating 2019 fire at Notre Dame is providing an unprecedented look at the secrets of the great cathedral. The damage caused by the fire has offered a rare opportunity to investigate parts of the 800-year-old structure that are typically hidden from view, & new discoveries are being made about its past. For archaeologists, the bent iron, burned roof timbers, & shattered stonework provide an opportunity to study the site & the building that, despite its religious, architectural, & historic significance, is, in fact, poorly understood.

Communication Methods

Resuscitating The Art of Bell Ringing | AP

For centuries, the tolling of church bells was the most important communication method for communities. Before newspapers, radio, telephones, television & the internet, it was bellringing that transmitted important information – signaling the time for rejoicing or mourning, or when to run to the aid of a neighbor in need. Manual bellringing in Spain is on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, describing how the bells had knitted together communities even before they were functioning modern states. In current times, the remaining bells that still toll are often mechanically automated & the art of the bell ringers is dying out. The recovery of bell ringing as a means of communication could help strengthen communities in this age of technological change.

Jalousie

One of Haiti’s largest slums, the Jalousie community in Port-Au-Prince struggles with a lack of sanitation, intermittent electricity & rivers of plastic waste. Conservative estimates suggest more than 80,000 people now live here, many of whom arrived after the 2010 earthquake, which the area miraculously escaped relatively unscathed. Life is often cramped, chaotic & challenging, but Jalousie’s people have dignity, hope & a sense of community, regardless of the poverty & oppression they face. #photography #landscape #urban #aerial

Cooking is keeping her heritage alive | CNN

Laila El-Haddad, the cookbook author, knows it might seem futile to labor over Gazan recipes at a time when the people of the territory are barely surviving. But as she sees it, that’s precisely why she must: Food is history; food is community; and it’s imperative to keep those parts of Gaza alive. “What happens then if you lose your traditions as well?” she said. “Then nothing remains.”
