etz hayyim (“tree of life”) synagogue in chania, crete, greece. the building dates to the 14th-15th centuries, and was originally a venetian catholic church. it was acquired by chania's jewish community and converted into a synagogue in the late 17th century. chania's jews were deported due to the holocaust in 1944, after which the building remained abandoned until restoration in the 1990s.
romaniote jews are the oldest jewish community in europe and one of the oldest in the world, thought to have lived in and around present day greece since before 70 ce. they have their own liturgy that is unrelated to the more commonly used european ones (ashkenazic and sephardic).

Asgardian, Vanir, Alfheimr, Olympus, Talokanil, Wakandan and Nidavellir cuisines in MCU HCs
Basically, Asgardians eat a mixture of Ancient Nordic, Medieval and Renaissance European foods

Bread and potatoes are literally staples amongst Asgardian cuisine
Oh, and seafood is a popular culinary choice in Asgard too
One of Loki's fave foods is salmon stew btw

So the Vanirs LOVE dumplings, stews, LAMB AND MUTTON PREPARED IN ANY WAY, and a hunch of dairy in breakfasts
Light Elven cuisine of Alfheim basically has several nods to Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines
Basically it's got a hunch of fruits and vegetables, sweets and baked treats being VERY popular in Alfheim, and edible flowers are also popular in Alfheim too
Breakfasts are at times served in little trays of breakfast goods with fruit/floral scented tea or coffee ( imagine like an Ottoman style breakfast )
A popular street food includes hand pies of different flavours - sweet, savory, spicy, etc
Also a cultural drink of Alfheim is actually wine - as in different types of wine, not just wine made from grapes ( and the Light Elven grown ups in general LOVE to drink wine )
Dwarven cuisine in Nidavellir basically has a mix of elements of Germanic and Slavic cuisine
Being a more blacksmith geared culture, the Dwarves in general usually eat protein and dairy often as a way to sustain themselves in blacksmith relater stuff ( especially for Dwarven blacksmiths )
The Dwarves in general love a good drink - a cultural drink of Nidavellir is actually beer ( and the Dwarven grown up in general drink A LOT beer )
Wakandan cuisines defo has nods to East African and Nubian cuisines

Unfortunately, true
Although in the case of Carthage, some of the problem is a lack of evidence. The other problem is the issue of languages: what's taught. A lot easier to find classes on Latin than Akkadian, if you want to study Neo-Assyria, say. ;-)

Unprecedented and societally disruptive extreme weather events, including heat waves, droughts, dust storms and torrential rains, will soon become a reality unless immediate, ambitious, and transboundary climate action is taken, warns the latest scientific assessment of state-of-climate in the region.
A new report prepared by an international group of scientists and published in the journal Reviews of Geophysics, identifies the EMME as a climate change hot spot, and concludes that the region is warming almost two times faster than the global average, and more rapidly than other inhabited parts of the world. (The 17 countries included in the analysis of the report are Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.)
For the remainder of the century, projections based on a business-as-usual pathway indicate an overall warming of up to 5°C or more, being strongest in the summer, and associated with unprecedented heat waves that can be societally disruptive. Further, the region will experience rainfall shortages that compromise water and food security. Virtually all socio-economic sectors are expected to be critically affected, with potentially devastating impacts on the health and livelihoods of the 400 million people of the EMME, with worldwide implications.
