i am down with this

i wonder if the guy with the fresco of his giant wang ate there?

i want to say probably cause its a small town

but based on his wang size and frescoes he was probably more of a sit-down dinner guy

i found a video from the lead researcher that summarizes everything pretty well. there was also a bbc episode the premiered last Friday on the subject as well.

How do you feel about Graham Hancock, Ruddo?

He definitely seems a little like a crackpot, but I find his work fascinating.

Hancock, Robert Schoch and Randall Carlson's appearances on Rogans podcast are some of my all-time favorite podcast episodes.

I love that some of our most priceless and ancient historical knowledge is just people complaining about getting ripped off.

humans have always been horrible, what a scoop!

[E.H. Ruddock]

lol. They found some writings from around Hadrian’s wall where locals had complained about the Romans were killing too many of them. It is funny if you think about it

A team of Polish scientists say they have discovered the only known example of an embalmed pregnant Egyptian mummy.
The discovery was made by researchers at the Warsaw Mummy Project and revealed in the Journal of Archaeological Science on Thursday.
The project, started in 2015, uses technology to examine artefacts housed at the National Museum in Warsaw.
The mummy was previously thought to be a male priest but scans reveal it was a woman in the later stages of pregnancy.

Which stage are we in currently?

[E.H. Ruddock]

I'd say we're in stage 7

Re: giant mounds and racks of skulls of the Mexica.

What else did we ignore as biased conquistador narrative that turns out to be close enough to accurate?

Which stage are we in currently?

By the way you can skip the first few paragraphs, just read the 8 stages, and stop there.

And Ruddo, I won’t disagree that we’re in 7. You could argue 5, 6, or 7.

Whatever stage has molesting altar boys, that’s the one we’re in.
