Every day I wake up and smile at the fact we don’t know what the p in pH stands for Image
I hope we never will
The whole “power of hydrogen” thing is probably a myth
Even Chemistry textbooks circulate the explanation but it’s not true Image

Truly the end of an era
A part of me will miss his high quality journalism
It appears that in Tuck’s final moments he was looking at an awful AI generated bug Image

She read a single Wikipedia article and suddenly believed she’s an expert on this stuff
Exhibit A

My sister in Christ, humans weren’t around hundreds of millions of years ago. 100 million years ago was the f*cking Cretaceous period.

Not enough people talk about these beautiful bronze sculptures of Africans in Greek and Roman artwork
There were also plenty of marble ones too
I know this dude is probably either a troll or a bot but it gives me an opportunity to stress how, no, not all of these men and women were slaves

For example, Memnon the Ethiopian was a student of the Roman senator, Herodes Atticus. He was a freeman & well respected.

Made a quick speculative map of the conquests of the Egyptian Pharaoh "Sesostris" as recounted by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. According to him, Sesostris was a legendary Pharaoh of Egypt who dominated almost the entire known world, turning Egypt into a superpower. Image
According to Herodotus, this Sesostris conducted military campaigns as far as Scythia and Thrace in Europe & naval voyages into the Arabian Gulf. He left giant stone reliefs as evidence of his conquests.
Herodotus reports that one of these reliefs said in Egyptian hieroglyphics: "IT WAS UPON MY SHOULDERS THAT THE WINNING OF THIS LAND WAS BORNE."

It’s really weird seeing transphobes trying to use archaeologists to support their beliefs.

My first osteology manual literally said this in the sex determination section: Image
Even determining the sex of a skeleton can be incredibly hard. Not everything is clear cut. There are males who have more feminine-looking skeletons and females with more masculine-looking skeletons.
Bone manuals, like mine, suggest you use a gradient scale for ranking certain sexually dimorphic traits (from 1-5). 5 being extremely masculine and 1 being extremely feminine. But as you can expect, there’s a lot of gray area in between. Image

My favorite thing in ancient history has to be when world leaders challenged each other to single combat in the middle of battles.

It’s one of those bad ass things mentioned in some histories that I hope really happened because it sounds so epic. Image
It’s like imagine if Joe Biden decided to fight Kim Jong-Un one on one
The Battle of the Hellespont is a very underappreciated battle ImageImageImage
