intentional play here: there is only one title (The Arts of Governance) and subtitle, but you could read them in parts as well, will tweak some more but the questioning is perhaps already productive?

We do this as one of the most inclusive public universities, admitting all with a high school diploma in their chosen fields of study. We do hope we can get staff to student ratios more in line with all of our peer institutions.

and what was supposed to be a discussion on 1 or 2 A4 sheets or a few slides too became a large poster. The posters can be folded in 8 equal-size squares, which can be viewed sequentially in accordeon style.
Conclusion for now: why haven't I been doing this before when discussing steles and maps? /2

our annotations (entity & clusters of entities, manual or curated after automated detection), comments, metadata, links to external databases. There is still work to be done; esp. checking data quality and therefore contextualization and interpretation-the future is bright for historians. /2

Prompts in just about all AI services for a representation of the ancient or #medieval world will mostly deliver pictures of Greek temples and European castles (even when written in Chinese and with the specification that these will be used in a global history course). /2
