Here is the Overture to Phantom from the 1986 vinyl LP single that featured the title song with Sarah Brightman and Steve Harley. While the orchestrations are the same as the final version, this version of the overture was quite different with more emphasis on the synthesizers in order to give it a rock and roll edge. It’s also a bit heavy on the brass a la the Canadian cast recording in 1989.
Onfim was a child who lived in Novgorod, Russia, in the 13th century. He left his notes and homework exercises scratched in soft birch bark (beresta) which was preserved in the clay soil of Novgorod. Onfim, who archaeologists believe was six or seven at the time, wrote in Old Novgorodian; besides letters and syllables, he drew battle scenes and drawings of himself, his family, and his teacher. [x]
Here is a picture of him as a knight stabbing someone.
(At least, he wrote his name next to the knight. Either it was supposed to be him or he was signing his masterpiece. Either way, still adorable.)
Several pictures of the original birch pieces can be found here: [x]

“people have always been people”
i’ve seen similar ones from roman children living in what is now england, too. People have ALWAYS been people.
i love this so much, history with real people in it see also -archeologists at hadrians wall dig up a letter from a roman soldier to his family tanking them for sending him a new pair of underwear in the mail -norse runes scattered around constantanople and several cathedrals turn out to be viking graffiti, including “this is very high” over two stories up -the oldest known joke (egyptian) and the oldest known english joke are both lowbrow sex jokes -roman gladiators had equivalents to sponsorship deals, some murals found were basically ‘gladiator brad pitt rubs himself with capelli brand olive oil, try some today’ and action figures were also found of prominent fighters for chidlren to play with -flat stone fragments left at egyptian construction sites were used as post it notes by workers, some included variations of ‘the foreman is a jerkface’ and a crude drawing of the pharoh with a comically large donger -we have an embarrassing wealth of 4,000 year old receipts referring to one specific merchant being an ass. WE KNOW HIM BY NAME, he wasnt even a king or anything, Ea-nasir will be known through history for being a dick about refunds
I love how children, even in the 13th century, can never remember how many fingers someone has.
Oh no Ea-Nasir strikes again.
You left out the best part about the Ea-Nesir receipts! From the original post about this historic jackass:
The majority of the surviving correspondences regarding Ea-nasir were recovered from one particular room in a building that is believed to have been Ea-nasir’s own house.
Like, these are clay tablets. They’re bulky, fragile, and difficult to store. They typically weren’t kept long-term unless they contained financial records or other vital information (which is why we have huge reams of financial data about ancient Babylon in spite of how little we know about the actual culture: most of the surviving tablets are commercial inventories, bills of sale, etc.).
But this guy, this Ea-nasir, he kept all of his angry letters - hundreds of them - and meticulously filed and preserved them in a dedicated room in his house. What kind of guy does that?
Ea-nasir, the FUCKING LEGEND
2 anyone wondering what kinda stuff i post it’s a little something i like to call dumbcore
not that my input really matters, but i don’t know much of lgbt history other than bits and pieces of stonewall, a little bit of the aids crisis, and the legalization of gay marriage; i’m an actual child and nobody here (kentucky) educates anyone/gets educated on it
how about instead of shaming people—especially young people—for not knowing our history, we provide them with credible resources?
here’s a long list of LGBT+ historical events worth googling and learning about. i’m not sure if all the dates and details are spot on, but, again, this is really just a guide for what to research on your own. to warn you, a lot of this history is ugly, including things like the conflation of pedophilia and LGBT+ people, genital mutilation, homophobia, transphobia, nazis, and wide scale persecution.
Free Resources:
an interactive timeline of LGBT+ world history
The 1950s and the Roots of LGBT Politics (American-centric)
Before Stonewall: The Making of a Gay and Lesbian Community (warning: this documentary was made in the 80s and is dated in a lot of respects as a result; it also features quotes from Allen Ginsberg, who we now know was a pedophile, but it’s still very informative in terms of history)
a brief history of the bisexual movement from the 1960s-early 2000s (American-centric)
Bisexual.org has a TON of resources on bi (and often pan) history, historical figures, research, and media
“Here’s A History Of Bisexuality, From Ancient Egypt To Stonewall”
a brief timeline of trans history, beginning in the 1890s (European and American-centric)

hey, thank you for the addittion, i really do appreciate it.
however i do wanna clarify that my intent wasn’t to shame anybody: posting this was more to counteract a popular post with the same graphic posted by a transphobe.
i thought this commentary was important as the perpetuation of an oversimplified view of LGBT history & the unwillingness (rather than the inability) to share resources like the ones you’ve linked above (often for political reasons) was harming people’s perceptions of LGBT history.
but I am sorry to anyone who felt shamed by this post, as i said it truly wasn’t my intent and i hadn’t thought about it at the time i posted it.
yall wanna read this addition instead of continuing to accuse me of hating people for not having a good educational system?
why do lesbians like chickens so much
This is obviously fake, pinecone are not hard to swallow
Most people think that pinecones are hard to swallow, but it’s actually because they’ve only ever tried swallowing them using their throat.
Hey, quick question. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN
A classic, lantern shield with gauntlet for the left hand and several blades, some of which are retractable. The ultimate multi-purpose tool. German, ca. early 17th century, housed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum.
can you imagine being this extra? “My shield has a sword, two knives and can punch you. Also brass accents because fashion, bitch.”
I don’t even know what that hole at the top is. A grenade launcher?
I think that’s the lantern but i like your idea better lol

I was thinking about it the other day I realized Zuko had the greatest connection with Sokka out of all the members of Team Avatar. It amazed me in “The Boiling Rock” episodes how well they worked together and what a great team they made. They were both skilled fighters without using bending; both being excellent swordsmen. They each became leaders of their respective lands, Zuko becoming Firelord and Sokka becoming Chief of the Southern Water Tribe.
When Tenzin said that Zuko and Sokka were part of the team that stopped the Red Lotus initially from abducting Korra, it made me think about how great it would of been to see them work together in their old age.
Okay that is all thank you.
