Luray Caverns (Luray, Virginia)—August 5, 2026

Beneath Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Luray Caverns is a cathedral built one drop at a time. Mineral-rich water has sculpted its immense chambers into forests of stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and flowing stone. At Luray, a stalactite grows approximately one inch every 120 years. Its largest stalactite is approximately 70,000 years old and predates the asteroid that brought about the demise of the dinosaurs.

De Grote of Sint-Barbarakerk is een protestantse gotische kruisbasiliek aan de Grote Kerkstraat in de Nederlandse stad Culemborg. Rond het jaar 1300 stond er een kleine kapel die onder de parochie viel van de kerk van Beusichem. Onder heer Jan van Beusichem werd de kapel in 1310 een zelfstandige parochiekerk, opgedragen aan het kapittel van Sint Jan te Utrecht. De kerk werd in de 14e en 15e eeuw verbouwd en uitgebreid, met de heren van Culemborg als opdrachtgevers. Zij gebruikten de kerk tevens als grafkerk voor hun familie.

Hathor columns began as 'sistrum-columns' - columns assimilated to the shaft of a sistrum with capitals showing on opposite sides heads of Hathor topped by a naos-sistrum sound-box. This form had a long history from the beginning of the New Kingdom. But especially with the Late Period, a four-sided capital or an abacus (the uppermost column element, above the capital) with Hathor-emblems on each side becomes widely used, and in these cases the term sistrum-column is no longer correct. These Hathor columns with representations on four sides relate to an understanding of Hathor as a cosmic and powerful goddess, her face directed to the four corners of the earth.

Hathor columns were particularly favored at temples connected with goddesses or with mammisi-temples ( "birth houses"), which were devoted to the birth of the divine son of a goddess. However, smaller versions like this one appear that must have been used in connection with kiosks or baldachins or other small structures, or may even have served as cult emblems themselves to judge from the represenations shown on some temple naoi.

This column has the names of Nectanebo I, and originates in the Delta according to the information passed on about its findspot at the time of its purchase. The column was quite elaborately treated: it retains extensive traces of paint, and the goddess's eyes were originally inlaid. The collar worn by the Hathor head is not a typical broad collar, but narrows toward either end and represents the enat beads the goddess may wear.
