Random things

Just checking out the tumblr thing. I'm a 30 something AB from FL into programming, guitar, reading, blah blah blah. My Gifs I like things that are cute, things that are creepy, things that are nerdy, weapons (blade biased), and various combinations of those things :) I'll probably follow back, but I'm often kind of slow at going through my (admittedly short) list, and I don't just automatically follow back. Even with my small list, I can get overwhelmed. However, if you're just wanting me to follow you for ads or something, don't bother. I kinda hate marketing :( and I don't see ads anyway. Things you can expect to see: Nature Architecture Cute / kawaii randomness Knives Horror Fantasy Whatever else catches my fancy gifs of said things when I'm not being lazy

Iberian Falcata in Remarkably Well Preserved State

Editor’s Note: This is a curious piece. It appears completely genuine but is in an exceptionally well preserved state. There are no notes on the Metropolitan Museum’s listing to indicate the sword has been restored (in particular the grip is so perfectly intact it seems almost too good to be true), nonetheless superlative pieces like this sword do turn up from time to time. I reserve judgement on the sword as by all appearances it is absolutely genuine and housed in a museum with an excellent pedigree. Date: possibly 2nd–4th century (Editor’s Note: Presumably B.C.?) Medium: Steel, wood Dimensions: H. 20 15/16 in. (53.2 cm); H. of blade 17 in. (43.2 cm); W. 2 5/8 in. (6.7 cm); D. 13/16 in. (2.1 cm); Wt. 1 lb. 0.7 oz. (473.4 g) Classification: Knives Credit Line: The Collection of Giovanni P. Morosini, presented by his daughter Giulia, 1932 Accession Number: 32.75.260

I’d say it’s impossible for wood to be preserved that well for such a long time, but then what do I know.

This is really cool.

An onna-bugeisha (女武芸者) was a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Many wives, widows, daughters, and rebels answered the call of duty by engaging in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war. They also represented a divergence from the traditional ‘housewife’ role of the Japanese woman. They are sometimes referred to as female samurai. Significant icons such as Empress Jingu, Tomoe Gozen, Nakano Takeko, and Hōjō Masako are famous examples of onna bugeisha. (x)
