In 186 BC, Rome was shaken by the Bacchanalia scandal—an event marked by widespread fear of moral decay and political conspiracy. Secretive ceremonies honouring the god Bacchus spread rapidly, attracting women, youth, and slaves. The Roman senate, alarmed by what they viewed as threats to societal order and traditional values, brutally suppressed these rituals, imprisoning and executing thousands.

Poem:

Beneath the stars in 186 BC,in hidden gardens of the night,a wine-red whisper rose,binding hearts togetherin ecstasy's dance.

Between cypress trees, beneath moonlight glow,women danced barefoot,their flowing hair a rebellion against Rome,ecstasy flourished,and society's chains were forgotten.

Yet behind senatorial gates,fear awoke in darkness,guardians of power whispered:“A hidden poison spreads,the women's laughter will shatter our world.”

Bacchus' realm toppled,an empire threatened by joy,and thousands of lights extinguished,punished for loving too deeply,and dancing too freely,in secrecy.

They named it sin, rebellion, danger,with a stern inscription carved in stone,and in blood and silencethe dreams of ecstasy perished.

Under the moon's watch, the wine kingdom fell silent,a shadow of silence spread,and women's laughter ceased,as senators' morals became law,and the night lost its magic.

Haikus:

Night whispers secrets—Rome’s fear shadows dancing feet,Wine spilled, laughter hushed.

Moonlight's hidden rites,Senate blades sharpen in fear—Ecstasy silenced.

Cypress trees bear witness,Women dancing, freedom's dream—Lost beneath Rome’s law.

Afterword:

History reminds us repeatedly of the fragility of knowledge and freedom. Events like the Bacchanalia scandal serve as poignant warnings of how swiftly fear and authoritarian power can erode human rights, silence voices, and erase culture. History did not begin with Columbus; as Europeans, we inhabit a deeper historical consciousness that spans thousands of years. Referring to events from the Roman Empire or later periods is not merely nostalgic or irrelevant—it's essential. The echoes of censorship and book burnings throughout time caution us today: safeguarding intellectual freedom is essential to protecting truth and democracy from alternative realities shaped by oppression, fear, and historical amnesia.

In a future shaped by the harsh realities of the climate crisis, deserts have expanded across vast areas of the world. The scarcity of water and relentless drought have rendered the land barren, while devastating wildfires have eradicated vegetation and life. In this new world, where rain has become a rare luxury, new deserts have emerged in what were once fertile regions. Humanity had forgotten that there were once peoples who lived and thrived in the desert—the nomads of the Sahara.

By a remarkable stroke of luck, a large, forgotten library was discovered in the region formerly known as Timbuktu. This discovery became a revelation, a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak time. The library contained invaluable manuscripts and wisdom from the past, which could unveil the secrets behind the nomads' ability to survive in harsh desert conditions. In the many caves and underground grottos around Timbuktu, ancient documents were unearthed, bringing new knowledge to light.

This photo series explores the rediscovery of this forgotten wisdom, providing a glimpse into how our ancestors navigated life's challenges in the desert. Through these images, ancient truths are brought to life once more, inspiring us to learn from the nomads of the past, as we seek new paths forward in a world grappling with climate change.

In the sands of time, where dunes now rise,

A future unfolds under sunburned skies.

Forgotten whispers of a people long gone,

Nomads who thrived in the desert's dawn.

From Timbuktu's hidden troves they emerge,

Ancient tomes with knowledge to purge.

Beneath the earth, in caves so deep,

The secrets of survival, awake from sleep.

The world once forgot these sun-scorched lands,

But hope rekindles with ink-stained hands.

From parchments brittle, wisdom flows,

As past and present in the desert grows.

Haikus:

Lost in shifting sands,

Ancient voices rise again,

Nomads’ truths untold.

Dust of ages past,

Timbuktu’s wisdom revealed,

Hope in arid lands.

We are kind of proud of our Viking history

Poem:

Beneath the stars in 186 BC,in hidden gardens of the night,a wine-red whisper rose,binding hearts togetherin ecstasy's dance.

Between cypress trees, beneath moonlight glow,women danced barefoot,their flowing hair a rebellion against Rome,ecstasy flourished,and society's chains were forgotten.

Yet behind senatorial gates,fear awoke in darkness,guardians of power whispered:“A hidden poison spreads,the women's laughter will shatter our world.”

Bacchus' realm toppled,an empire threatened by joy,and thousands of lights extinguished,punished for loving too deeply,and dancing too freely,in secrecy.

They named it sin, rebellion, danger,with a stern inscription carved in stone,and in blood and silencethe dreams of ecstasy perished.

Under the moon's watch, the wine kingdom fell silent,a shadow of silence spread,and women's laughter ceased,as senators' morals became law,and the night lost its magic.

Haikus:

Night whispers secrets—Rome’s fear shadows dancing feet,Wine spilled, laughter hushed.

Moonlight's hidden rites,Senate blades sharpen in fear—Ecstasy silenced.

Cypress trees bear witness,Women dancing, freedom's dream—Lost beneath Rome’s law.

Afterword:

History reminds us repeatedly of the fragility of knowledge and freedom. Events like the Bacchanalia scandal serve as poignant warnings of how swiftly fear and authoritarian power can erode human rights, silence voices, and erase culture. History did not begin with Columbus; as Europeans, we inhabit a deeper historical consciousness that spans thousands of years. Referring to events from the Roman Empire or later periods is not merely nostalgic or irrelevant—it's essential. The echoes of censorship and book burnings throughout time caution us today: safeguarding intellectual freedom is essential to protecting truth and democracy from alternative realities shaped by oppression, fear, and historical amnesia.

In 186 BC, Rome was shaken by the Bacchanalia scandal—an event marked by widespread fear of moral decay and political conspiracy. Secretive ceremonies honouring the god Bacchus spread rapidly, attracting women, youth, and slaves. The Roman senate, alarmed by what they viewed as threats to societal order and traditional values, brutally suppressed these rituals, imprisoning and executing thousands.

In villages like Sotang, villagers know they can create more firewood and feed for their animals by constantly harvesting small amounts. Science also supports this, showing that this method yields far higher rates of biomass over time than from cutting whole trees.
