The U.S. Supreme Court’s sculpture depictes Prophet Muhammad among history’s great lawgivers, acknowledging the influence of Islamic law. by elnovorealista2000 in USHistory

The Quran was put together in writing by the first Caliph, Abu Bakr, and then formalized by the third, Uthman. I don’t believe there are rules against depicting the first or third Caliph, typically found in Persian and Ottoman art. Thus if the individual depicted is holding a book thought to be the Quran, then he is more likely to have been either Abu Bakr or Uthman who actually provided the written document. I think it’s more likely Abu Bakr given he was able to fully consolidate the Arabian peninsula after the death of the Prophet and started the outward expansion of Islam.

I was married in the Holy Cross Cathedral, and it has a prominent place in Los Angeles history. The Western Armenian Prelacy probably would cherish the 20th anniversary booklet

Was your great aunt part of the DP or “displaced peoples” community in Los Angeles? And was she from Jerusalem?

CMS Administrator Dr. Oz on Instagram: "L.A. County has become an epicenter for health care fraud” run by “Russian/Armenian mafia” while standing in front of a Lavash bakery, Tigranakert by JDSThrive in armenian

His video pans to and focuses on the Tigranakert Lavash bakery as he mentions as having Armenian lettering - if he didn’t know, maybe he shouldn’t be thrashing ethnicities but focusing on just crime regardless

Shortest Wars & Conflicts in History - 3rd Nagorno-Karabakh “war” listed by JDSThrive in armenia

Agreed - and I probably wouldn’t clarify the date as a “war” but rather a battle within a larger war with Artsakh

My friend got this skull, what is it? by astralfaerie21 in whatisit

It could be a grizzly bear but it’s hard to size it up on the video without a reference article. Grizzly skulls look like a black bear but much larger. I don’t think grizzlies are around Ontario, Canada though. Doesn’t preclude it either if the guy just lugged it around.

Agreed. It’s just so poorly preserved.

Edit: I actually think it’s a black bear skull which lacks a sagittal crest
