I’m analysing a graph and it shows a crazy drop in life expectancy in the mid 1800s then a sharp rise that becomes steady into the millenium. Just need a brief idea of what happened in the past to explain the trend.

Here at last is a history of England that is designed to entertain as well as inform and that will delight armchair travellers, tourists or anyone interested in history. No people have engendered quite so much acclaim or earned so much censure as the English: extolled as the Athenians of modern times, yet hammered for their self-satisfaction and hypocrisy. But their history has been a spectacular one. The guiding principle of this book’s heretical approach is that “… More >>

English History Made Brief, Irreverent, and Pleasurable

HHHHHHHHHHHHistory, or my version of it at least

A chronological history of antique jewelry would take us back many years ago some 27,000 years to be more accurate, in Namibia. There man’s artistic expressions would have been carved into a piece of jewelry made from a dry piece of stick or the bone of a bird into an earring or a necklace. Such pieces of antique jewelry are rare to find because of the very nature of the material in use then like the pendant in bone from Tunisia some 15,000 years ago.

Egyptian jewelry would come much later around 4500 BC in the region of El-Badari from where antique earrings, crowns, girdles and brooches have been found made of silver and gold and their alloys with copper. The periods of the Pharaohs, Nefertiti, and Tutankhamun were the golden periods for antique jewelry.

Then came the period of the industrious and technologically savvy pre-Columbians around 4000 BC.  These were highly developed people who used copper and its various oxides and the lost wax process for making their jewelry. Some of the antique jewelry from the period is cast in brass plated with silver and then with 24 ct gold and then protected with a coat of lacquer! They had used platinum and there are exquisite antique earrings from this period.

Chinese jewelry is now 5000 years old. The ancient jewelry pieces have religious connections, some with a Buddhist background besides pagan symbols like the phoenix and the dragon. Complex and large size antique earrings have been found from this era in bronze, silver and gold.

Some of the other classic examples of antique jewelry go back to the Vikings from around 800 AD and the Russian, Victorian and French jewelry from the 17th century onwards. A few of the most attractive pieces of ancient museum earrings are the Sumerian Hoop Earrings in lapis and sterling silver from 2500 BC, classical Greek heart earrings with garnet and pearl in sterling silver from 450 BC and Celtic swirl earrings from around 500 BC. Equally impressive is a set of Faberge earrings, late 20th century and West African Crescent earrings in gilded sterling silver.

The name Scotland comes from the Latin word Scoti, that is a word that is applied to Gaels, inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland, made up of pirates and people coming from Ireland to live in Dalriada Northwest area in Scotland, not to for example Picts. Additionally, the word Scotia, the land of the Gaels and was initially used as a word for Ireland. However, by the 11th century at the latest, Scotia was used to mean (Gaelic-speaking) Scotland north of the river Forth, alongside Albania or Albany, both derived from the Gaelic Alba. The use of the words Scots and Scotland to encompass all of what is now Scotland became common in the Late Middle Ages.

During a family holiday around 200 years ago that Walter Scott was inspired to pen the well known poem entitled The Lady of the Lake. Although he did not know at that time, this poem would become a global phenomenon within a few months, kick starting a large tourist industry and producing an intense adoration for the great beauty that the Trossachs have.

Some of the best habitats for wildlife in the UK are to be discovered inside the Cairngorms National Park and the ancient forests of pine, icy mountain tops and rivers provide refuge for as much as a quarter of Scotland’s protected species. Scotland has so much to do and see from visiting castles and distilleries to highland games.

All of the aforementioned interests and celebrated events lure holiday makers by their thousands, with holidays cottages in Edinburgh being particularly popular.
