Tomb & effigies of Lord Thomas the Rich* and Lady Katherine, in St Mary's, Berkeley, Gloucestershire

*Yes, he was actually called that. Apparently, Lady Katherine was minted too. Much good it did them - they both ended up here.

Hiked up to a hilltop kofun (古墳) tumulus of a regional leader from around 1,400 years ago in Kyōto. First photo: it has a bird's eye view of the World Heritage temple Ninna-ji (仁和寺). Second photo: Under the hilltop is a chamber with thick stone walls, sealed by a boulder. Third photo: Details about the burial chamber and some precious objects from the Kofun Period found there. Fourth photo: this shows how high I climbed up, and the view to the south on such a clear day is across Kyōto City to Ōsaka Prefecture where I live.

"At the center of #Hamadan, #Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, stands the holiest site for #Jews in Iran: a small brick mausoleum traditionally believed to hold the #tombs of #Esther and #Mordechai.

For at least the past 15 years, the #tomb has become a flashpoint for protest reacting to #Iranian regime–propagated narratives that frame the #Book of Esther not as a tale of #Jewish survival, but as a genocide of 75,000 #Iranians perpetrated by the Jews. Each year on #Purim, #protesters gather outside the mausoleum. At times, they have thrown #Molotovcocktails at the building or burned #Israeli flags.

Iranian Jewish leaders have responded with carefully worded appeals to the Interior Ministry, emphasizing their loyalty to the state and asking that protests not be held at the sacred site."
