April 14, 2018 – Mystras, Lakonia, Peloponnesus, Southern Greece: Nuns serve plates with spaghetti, preparing the Easter lunch with red eggs, in the beautiful Pantanassa Monastery, which is located in the Byzantine castle-town of Mystras. Mystras, like a miniature replica of the majestic Mount Taygetos, rises above the verdant valley of Eurotas. Historically, the medieval fortress town of Mystras gained prominence after the Fourth Crusade in 1204, when the Crusaders established the Latin Empire (1204-1261) and other states in the Byzantine lands they conquered. The Peloponnese region was occupied by the Frankish knights and became the Principality of Achaea under the Villehardouin family. William II of Villehardouin fortified Mystras and built the castle on the hilltop to subdue the unruly mountain dwellers of Taygetos and secure the defense of the fertile Lacedaemon. The castle had barely been completed when the Prince of Achaea, defeated by Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaeologus at the Battle of Pelagonia in 1259 and made prisoner, was forced to cede the three strongholds of Peloponnese, including Mystras, to the Byzantines as ransom. Mystras soon evolved into a major center of the Byzantine Empire, second only to the capital, Constantinople. It was here that Byzantine art and literature flourished for the last time before the spread of Ottoman conquests in the mid-15th century. This cultural flourishing, coupled with the revival of classical letters and philosophy, became known as the Palaeologan Renaissance. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

(EyesOnSci)CHINA-JURASSIC FOSSIL DISCOVERY-ORIGIN OF BIRDS (CN)
(250213) -- BEIJING, Feb. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This combo photo shows an image of the fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis (above) and a skeleton diagram. Chinese scientists have unearthed the oldest short-tailed bird fossil, dating back about 150 million years, in east China's Fujian Province. This suggests that birds might have originated earlier than previously thought.
The fossilized bird Baminornis zhenghensis was discovered in Zhenghe County, Fujian Province. Its short tail ends in a compound bone called the pygostyle, a feature uniquely present in modern birds. This indicates that the body structure of modern birds emerged in the Late Jurassic Period, 20 million years earlier than previously known.
The study, conducted by researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP) and the Fujian Institute of Geological Survey, was published in the latest issue of the journal Nature. (Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology/Handout via Xinhua)
