in World War 1 around 8 million horses died but in World War 2 it was under a million which can only mean horses started to evolve bullet resistance

The term "book of the dead" doesnt really give you perspective to how big a lot of Egyptian funerary texts are.

Imhoteps book of the Dead is 64 feet long.

[somethingusefulfromflorida]

Okay, but a lot of books would be that long if you laid the pages out

[nsomniacsdream]

the average printed page is 6 inches wide. so if a book is 128 pages, its 64 ft long. I dont think I own a book with fewer than 128 pages.

[cryptotheism]

It's honestly not that impressive at all. Fuck Imhotep and his pathetic short book.

▼Finally got LN 2. Couple years late to the party...

[fillianore-moved]

so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books they’ve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! they’re mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think that’s super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!

have you seen or read the 2017 LN comics?, the first ones that came out with LN 1 and were cancelled...i still miss the visitor characters from there ngl.

oh, of course i have!

i've been here since day 1! i don't remember a lot from between 2015-2019, but the best memories i have from that time are fandom memories. that is to say, LN1 era media is very close to my heart! if there's something that came out in the early days, i've probably seen it a few times over ^^ it's a recurring hyperfixation for me, i always wind up back in the Nowhere eventually. i really loved the Grimm's Fairytale vibe of the 2017 comics. i also like the grittier psychological horror they ended up going with for LN2 and onward, but i wish they would bring back some of the "cautionary bedtime story" mood, too... ominous warnings around the fireside from children that know too much... mysteries that exist only to be pondered about... things you can only abide by and never truly understand. i'm glad they also continued the Ferryman's story, but the North Wind's design was so cool, i wish they'd bring it back as well!

what about you?
