Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

Published by Mudpuppy/Galison and hopefully in awesome stores near you. The front side of this puzzle is the same as the back, except that the one side has been colored by me, and the other side is to be colored by you, or your kids, or some friends.

This store has all sorts of cool and funky things to buy and as you may have noticed, I love their chalkboard and always keep an eye on it to take a picture of their new silly drawing.
The Forbidden City was the setting for The Last Emperor, the first feature film ever authorised by the government of the People's Republic of China to be filmed in the Forbidden City.

With the two outer levers flipped down, the chest is revealed. However, inside this chest is a Pandora's box of sorts: opening it will let out a bright light for 30 seconds or so, as it sucks those unfortunate enough to see the light into the infinitely larger space in the chest and then slams shut on itself.
In universe, this box will be taken by Sam Sinister as he thinks it contains the treasure he seeks. He will deliver it, unopened, to Lord Ogel who will open it along with his top generals after Sam is paid and leaves. (Thus barely escaping death!)
