Bonus #PleiadesGazetteer #SneakPeek for a new place resource for the #Hittite Karabel Reliefs with #Luwian inscriptions on mount Nif, east of modern Smyrna. Grateful shout-outs to Pleiades contributors @nehemie (whose 2025 article "Metamorphoses of a Monument" in the European Journal of Archaeology provided valuable info and has been encoded as a reference in the resource) and @diffendale (whose 2013 photos of the surviving relief on Flickr are now tagged and showing up in the Pleiades "photos" portlet on that page).

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

I received copies of the multilingual "Ada & #Zangemann" books by @cfeditions . They did an amazing job. Was a bit sceptical when I first heard about the idea of multilingual versions, but I love the result with this great format!! Great for schools! Job well done!! 👏
