NocturnalMorning, in Earthquake reveals giant Aztec snakehead beneath Mexico City university

This article made wonder what actually happened to the aztecs. I don’t recommend looking it up

I study Mesoamerican and especially Tenochtitlan history for fun. It breaks my heart every time I get to that part in any of my books.

This is a sign that we are in the end times.

mercury,

That is what they said in 2012

nieceandtows, in Did Ancient Egyptians Know Meteorites Came From Space?

Is that really that hard to understand? Somebody sees a fireball falling from the sky. They investigate it, and it turns out to be a very strong material, great for making weapons with. It wasn’t as obvious to the British in 19th century, because iron is most commonly mined everywhere. Since there was no iron mining back when they first started using it, they had no confusion realizing it came from the sky.

webghost0101, in Early Europeans Ate Seaweed for Thousands of Years

I remember my dad harvesting different kinds at the beach and frying them. Healthy, nutritious, tasty, the only reason its not a staple seems to be that it may not be profitable.

jlow,

I would really like to know of my feeling that these should be even fuller of microplastics than other food os right or wrong …

webghost0101,

I’ve heard that most types of seaweed might lightly aid against radiation damage but thats a good point.

From all the school reports the one that stuck to me the most is microplastics. I wasn’t even doing the report, i cant remember what my own subject was but microplastics are truly one of the most awfull consequences of humankind. Makes me sad just thinking about it.

This type of stuff just makes you wonder what is under the ground we walk

Crab People. Look like crab, talk like people.

Rocks too.

KnowledgeableNip,

You’re not wrong, I’m really behind on vacuuming.

Skua, in Coal miners accidentally discover ancient Roman ship in Serbia

Wow, that's far bigger than I was expecting considering how far Serbia is from the sea. I know the Danube is a big river, but still, this is over 600 km from the mouth as the crow flies

Coasting0942, in Coal miners accidentally discover ancient Roman ship in Serbia

We’re going to need to stop all coal mining in the area. For historical reasons not at all connected to our future.

intensely_human, in A 15th century French painting depicts an ancient stone tool

The red and blue cherubs in the right painting are intense

acockworkorange,

They mimic the colors of the two monks. The red ones have almost devilish wings. The queen is depicted in blue. I’m sure there’s some symbolic message about the artist calling one of the clerics a devil.

Both monks seem to be staring at her ghost nipple 🧐

malamignasanmig, in How Asia’s first nomadic empire broke the rules of imperial expansion

fascinating.

this makes me think of Austronesian speakers from Taiwan who spread to the Philippines and throughout Oceania and even Madagascar. their initial movement to the Philippines - was that a single large empire who made the dominant migration or was it a consistent movement by smaller groups of people whose only commonality is their shared ancestry to Taiwanese Austronesian speakers?

tacosanonymous, in Did Ancient Egyptians Know Meteorites Came From Space?

Yes.

Dressedlikeapenguin,

Better than any not I’ve seen, thanks!

The Fayum portraits are among my favorite things in the entire history of art.
