Most of the time, the maths in our everyday lives works quietly behind the scenes, until someone forgets to carry a '1' and a bridge collapses or a plane drops out of the sky.

Writing is generally agreed to be among the greatest inventions in human history, perhaps the greatest invention, since it made history possible.

You can read more about Irving's quest to explore the Noah's Ark myth in "The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood": https://geni.us/zU95bVO
or learn more about cuneiform writing in "Cuneiform": https://geni.us/eMPb
Writing seems to have been invented in the late fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia in the form of wedge-shaped marks pressed into soft clay with a reed stylus: the script known as cuneiform. Through his work on this ancient language, Irving Finkel, has uncovered amazing secrets from over five thousand years ago, including the story behind Noah’s ark.
Irving Finkel is the curator in charge of cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia at the British Museum, of which the Middle East Department has the largest collection of any modern museum. This work involves reading and translating all sorts of inscriptions, sometimes working on ancient archives to identify manuscripts that belong together, or even join to one another. He is the author of The Ark Before Noah: Decoding the Story of the Flood.
This talk was filmed in the Ri on 18 January 2019.

Syntropic agroforestry is a regenerative form of agriculture that has been notably implemented in Brazil. I recently traveled to Haiti (May 2021), to participate in a Syntropic Agriculture workshop. This method of agriculture is very promising in the area of reforestation. This video captures a fraction of the excitement and optimism concerning the potential on this form of regenerative agriculture. Thank you for your time.
