If you could choose, what superpower would you have?
I would want the power to access all the historical information of whatever I touch! I would imagine how much that will make my job easier.
But then again, Most of the fun of it is in playing Sherlock and the exhilarating feeling of finding answers on your own.
what would YOU do if you had a time machine?
I would simply go to 1870s turkey to beat Heinrich Schliemann to death with a rock, and this is before he even thinks of getting his hands on sticks of dynamite.
That will be my answer, and the lack of explanation is purposeful because I do recommend you to dig into his Wikipedia page and understand my grudge against him.
which language is the most fun to swear in?
I may have a bias, but I would say Themysciran has the most colorful vocabulary I've ever seen in an ancient language.
If you're creative enough, you can absolutely shun an entire bloodline with merely two sentences!
I admire that quite a lot, if there's anybody who deserves to have a potty mouth? it's definitely the amazons 😂
hey dr. Minerva! hope you don’t mind the question. you mentioned the bwunda expedition earlier and it sent me down a bit of a research spiral (which is always a dangerous thing to do before going to work)
I ended up finding a few of your papers about it. including the one discussing the religious practices around the site, which was really fascinating. I realized halfway through though that while I understand pieces of what you’re studying, i’m Not Totally sure what the main goal of the expedition is supposed to be.
like is the focus primarily documentation and preservation, or are you trying to test a specific hypothesis about the mythology tied to the site?
also I will admit I enjoy reading papers written by people who are clearly very passionate about their subject. it makes the whole thing much harder to pretend i’m just “casually browsing research” and not fully invested lol
anyway, if you ever feel like explaining it to a curious engineer who wandered into the anthropology side of the internet, i’d love to hear more about it :)
Sorry, I fell asleep on my desk again! Perhaps I should stop taking overnighters like these. On a lighter note, however, my wonderful girlfriend greeted me with breakfast this morning 💕
Now rambling aside! I can't go into too much detail, but to summarize it shortly, it's a bit of both.
It's part archeological reasons, part documentation reasons, and part humanitarian reasons!
Assuming you have not read up on the articles yet, the innocent people of Bwunda is currently in dire need of aid, and there have been recorded signs of strange ecological phenomena happening in the surrounding jungles. The kind that's been draining resources from surrounding villages, said to have been the green poisoning their food and water.
My intuition tells me that this is from an archaic source, the work of something ancient.
And I'd want to see if I could find the root of the problem! wrestle the bull by its horns, if you will.
The only thing that's been preventing me from reaching this goal is simply from the lack of funding and support. So much paperwork to go through, so many government letters to petition, so much approval that needs to happen.
At least so far, my girlfriend has been handling half of that. We'll just have to hope that time is not against us.
pizza question: pineapple yes or no? and don’t say maybe
I love pineapple on pizza! Perhaps thee best combination. The balance of sweet and savory is simply splendid!
I don't care what anyone says, Hawaiian pizza is amazing and people should stop acting like I shot their dog whenever I admit I like it.
my uncle broke his neck eating pineapple pizza once
My condolences, dear ❤️

hello again dr Minerva! I was looking at your researchgate profile (don't worry about it) and noticed that alongside anthropology and mythology, you apparently have a degree in cryptozoology
would you rather:
a) be a cryptid with inconsistent sightings and deeply unreliable evidence
or
b) be the person tasked with writing the peer-reviewed paper confirming it. but no one believes you and everyone thinks you're insane
Ah, congratulations! You are now the 4th person to have acknowledged this part of my expertise. I must say that I feel rather amusingly perplexed, never had someone dig into my records beyond job searching.
but no matter, I will now assume that this is mostly out of curiosity rather than anything else, so I'll answer your question as honest as I could.
I would say B is already off the table, I've already been there trying to prove the existence of Themyscira and the amazons. And this was before Wonder Woman came to our world by the way! So many men claimed I was absolutely foolish for believing she was merely myth, BUT LOOK AT HER NOW. IN THE FLESH AND ON THE NEWS.
You could only imagine my vindication!
Now back to the question, I will choose option A.
I honestly think it would be fun to try and scare hikers in the woods. I also see myself as more of a mysterious type, think of the lochness monster or the flatwoods monster.
Though if I have to be a kind of flesh eating beast like the Chupacabra or the dire wolf, that would be the most unfortunate. I can't even stand the sight of blood, I would barely survive 😂
But yes, final answer, option A and preferably assuming the form of a more spiritual or ghostly cryptid!
What are your thoughts on the Hades games?
I recently bought that game for my girlfriend! It was for her birthday and I got to watch her play a bit of it after the party.
I was actually pleasantly surprised how well-made it is, I didn't expect it to feature a lesser known goddess as a main protagonist.
which was nice I'd say! Absolutely refreshing from other examples of Greek myths turned to video games. Looking at you, God of War!
But I digress, I do admire that despite not following the original myths religiously, it's still pretty close to the source material.
A rather whimsical adaptation, I can't wait to watch my girlfriend play more ❤️
Dr. Minerva, this is you from the future. If a billionaire personally tries to fund your expedition to Bwunda to learn more about a plant god, do not take it, it's a trap!
I will believe you, if you can answer these three questions for me first.
1. At what age did I started going to uni?
2. Who is my favorite goddess from the ancient sumerian pantheon?
3. Which one of my failed expeditions made me dependent on canes and crutches?
I'll await your response.
Do you like video games? Do you play any?
I do love videogames! But I'm not particularly a gamer myself.
Actually, I'm quite bad at them!
But I do love watching my lovely girlfriend play on the telly, part of our parallel play you see. I read books and she does whatever she wants on the settee.
now Dr Minerva, what are YOUR thoughts on wonder woman? I mean I did see you two in the Ava show, so I'm assuming you two are close and stuff. but still
Haha she's the loveliest I'd say! Never a dull moment whenever she's around. And yes, we are indeed close! She is my girlfriend after all. Isn't that insane?
Anyways, I love her so much, always a delight to be with ❤️
Blog post #1: I broke my leg!
So my last expedition went rather poorly and a rock decided to kiss my left knee! how fun... Now I am bored out of my mind in this sad hospital bed.
Perhaps I should be more alarmed considering the doctors told me I'd have to use a cane for the rest of my life from now on, but I was already expecting this one way or another- just came with the territory.
though here I am opening a tumblr blog instead of preparing my next lectures, maybe I could make this a teaching moment somehow.
god I feel this... last month a neural interface prototype misfired during a calibration test and my wife threw a keyboard at me. not at me specifically! she was aiming at the wall (i think) but I was between her and the wall so. occupational hazard
also got a pretty bad paper cut from the incident report I had to fill out afterward :/ still healing
hope your knee feels better. canes have a lot of aura honestly. very distinguished
Oh dear, I hope you're doing alright, darling. Though rather curious why your wife would throw a keyboard in the first place, instead of venting in a much more healthy and productive manner.
Also thank you for your affirmation, it is much appreciated. ❤️
I do agree with the sentiment too, canes are very fashionable. hopefully it won't inconvenience me too much on my field work however.
my wife wants me to clarify that she was NOT trying to hit me with the keyboard and that I should stop telling people she hit me with a keyboard. she did not hit me with a keyboard. it was more of a. trajectory situation.
honestly field work with a cane sounds extremely cool. all the best scientists have them. like dr House... that's my whole list actually. you're in good company though, he was a genius, solved like every disease! granted he was also mean to everyone around him and addicted to vicodin so maybe not a perfect comparison. sorry. the point stands. canes have aura and you will be fine.
Alright then, That's a relief!
And perhaps I should've prefaced on my first blog that in my field of work, I am required to do quite a lot of rock climbing and getting in between nooks and crannies of ancient dig sites.
You could imagine how much a dependency on canes would limit me in my work.
Truly unfortunate, How am I going to Bwunda now? 😔

thoughts on the christopher nolan odyssey movie?
I think Christopher Nolan should be barred from touching any and all sorts of classical fiction.
Amazons ARENT REAL #GetOverIt
And you're not real, because you're a coward hiding behind anonimity. if you're so passionate about claiming them as merely myth? debate me in direct messages, love <3
