COG CITRUS OLEANDER GARDENIA
Col. Beall. My gateway ancestor.
Me too! Ggggggrandfather
Thank you for this beautiful coverage which also helps me with my Scottish lineage to Colonel Ninian Beall
the origins of the wheel is equally an enigma; some gave the Mitanni credit; some say Gutians who were nomadic introduced chariots to the other people groups like the Hittites; the Assyrians and Egyptians also adapted chariots for warfare; I watched another video on the topic of nomadic peoples that point to the Scythians - another culture where little is known of them; whether various nomadic people were genetically related or if they adapted to the lifestyle out of necessity is also a mystery
I am immensely grateful that this work is being done. I've only recently come to know about the history of the English language, and Dumbarton Oaks' rigorous efforts to preserve and share these great works is incredibly important. Being able to have access to works of Anglo-Saxon culture is personally a wonderful thing, as it strengthens my own connection to my heritage. I look forward to purchasing and reading from this collection, and thank the scholars for their efforts.
I really love Byzantine history the Avara, Huns and the lombards really damaged them sadly
Truly a magnificent masterpiece! Dumbarton Oaks is a treasure. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful project.
Beatrix Farrand is girl power
Instead of gardens and butterflyes, what about publishing vídeos about the Spirit of Dumbarton? Byzancium!!! Books!
Please publish more videos!!
🎅🏻🎅🏻😴😴😴😴
This video definitely isn't boring
fat horrible dressed...
Love it
I would be interested in this program, but only because of Michael Kennedy-Yuun's experience.
Brasil, Acre, Brasiléia.
He is the best professor I have ever had. He makes one question how they think about history, leaving one with a new mindset and inventory of knowledge.
This is great inspiration for garden planning!
First time visitors are amazed at the pool and pebble garden the first time they gaze over the upper fence. A great spot for early morning coffee, so many songbirds nearby.
It's Harvard. Invest the money into restoring the pebble garden back to the pebble pool & fountain! With modern materials and methods, this has got to be exactly what someone is working on right now. John Pond, Master Brickmason,'s work can be seen on the private sidewalk inside the 32nd St. entrance. PRO TIP: For more gardens & culture, walk south on 31st Street to Tudor Place. tudorplace.org
I have to give this video a seal of approval.
Great pun!
