@IanBrowne
Ian, your memory is fabulous. I loved all the information you shared with us.
Casement was in Putumayo and denounced the inhumane exploitation of the Amazonian indigenous people by the Arana family to the English government.
The writer Mario Vargas Llosa wrote a novel called "The Dream of the Celt" that tells the story of Casement in the Congo... -

Sue, She is a woman who has endless debts, everyone believes she is a witch, who has many nightmares, everyone believes she is a bad woman, but I defend her in the poem -

From the novel "La Voragine" by Jose Eustasio Rivera "Before I had ever been in love with any woman, I gambled my heart and violence won it for me.
This paragraph indicates the violence that will be present throughout the novel -
Jesus Diaz made a comment
The novel entitled La Voragine published 100 years ago describes the exploitation of rubber in the Amazon, just as Conrad's novel denounces in the Congo, we must remember Roger Casement

Who did the skull belong to?
who was he?
Who broke his head?
I guess he died immediately.
I don't know if he suffered
maybe his army won the battle
and the family knew their fate
I searched the heavens for his soul
an unknown man
When will I know all the answers? -
@MaryMac Mary, I´m very happy to read your excellents comments here and continue exchanging knowledge with you.

Hello from Bogotá, very far from Scotland, but the Scots are very present in our history, a few centuries ago the Scots tried to conquer a part of the coast of Panama, it was a disaster, I think these 900 years will be a great adventure.

@InekeFioole
Ineke I full agree with you, we should never have left the caves.
But....winds of war are circulating in various places around the world, I'm sure that the Dutch general's prediction will not come true, I prefer to return to the oracle of Delphi, so that the Pythia can tell me what the future of humanity will be. -

Mary, I don't know Eric Ravilious, but I will investigate his work. -

@SusanO'Connor
Susan, Humanity owes many things to the horse. I believe that if the horse had not existed, we would not be discussing this topic now, perhaps we would still be living in caves. -

I would like to be in the observation deck
and appreciate the infinite steppes
that one day Genghis Khan ruled
that man in front of me.
and feel the spirit of conquest from him,
because he conquered my spirit. -
@MaryR Thanks Mary, as you know, I always see objects under my poetic vision.
-
These images changed my idea about the landscape of Mongolia, there really are fantastic places, the equestrian statue of Genghis Khan sees in ecstasy the same lands that he ruled.

@NiraRamachandran
@YvonneWilliams @SueC @MaryRFig. 7. Uushgyn Ovor. "Deer stone detail 14, showing a singing or chanting face, possibly shamanic", I think he may be calling to the lost deers in the steppes..

Professor, as you know, we find monuments all over the world with important people riding horses, but no monument has been made to the horse. I think this noble animal deserves its monument. -
Jesus Diaz replied to Jesus Diaz
Thank you professor for sharing this interesting article, I did not know about the existence of horses before the arrival of the Spanish, in the future researchers will confirm why horses became extinct in the new world.

@InekeFioole. Ineke no, García Márquez's novels are definitely better than the film versions, all the films based on his novels fail to have the quality of his written work

Excellent article by Dr Pullman, it is dramatic that many people have not read a book in their entire lives, have never heard a Beethoven sonata or do not know a painting by John William Waterhouse and many feel proud to have a television in the living room 55"
The cultural starvation is a modern epidemic.
