Iranczycy nie Persowie plus chronologia Iranu - Iranians not Persian and short history of Iran

 Salvete Omnes,

[my post contains links to a video material in Polish only]

The air war between Iran & their allies and US (all the best to our boys & girls) & Zionist Israel rages in the Middle East and, obviously,  in the social media -but I daresay Twitter X is the best forum for the info (perhaps Telegram too?) .

Polish professor Gosciwit Malinowski prepared two presentation on Iran and their history etc on Ytube, but they are in Polish only. Amazing skill and knowledge and talent to tackle the topics.

I hope POTUS D. Trump will end this war, let us pray, this weekend, declaring his  satisfaction with the   accomplishments of the military campaign and the political aims realized.

Horses of master Martin

Salvete Omnes,

 Surviving works of master Martin Schongauer (circa 1450-1491) present the wide panorama of the artistic skills of one of the most skilled artists of the Northern Renaissance.

Master Martin was famous for the renderings of the Virgin Mary and numerous saints.

But we will just concentrate on his horse iconography -

from the print- Christ bearing the Cross -

.

2nd print -
battle of Clavijo circa 844 Ad, during the Reconquista - exceptional combination of master Martin artistic skills and his knowledge of horse and its body (considering the time period, i.e., XV century.

The Chukchi - reindeer warriors of Siberia

 Salvete Omne,

a little change of climate, latitudes and quadrupeds - the reindeer herders of Siberia - the Chukchi.

Interesting historic book on the traveling and  wintering with the Chukchi and Eskimo/Inuit  in 1853 -  

Sledge & dogs - Siberian husky

the Chukchi clans of north-eastern Siberia had been the reindeer warriors for ages, participating in the endemic warfare of the Siberian tundra and taiga.

Chukchi costume as described Lieut. Hooper (Royal Navy - 1853AD )

They had their own armor, bows, arrows, warclubs and knives etc -
