Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.

[megpie71]

Boosting signal.

[justgot1]

Echoes from the ancient human past, wonderful.

[meret118]

Their oral history also contains stories about hunting prehistoric megafauna too. Native Australians are the oldest existing culture on earth, which is even more amazing considering how hard the british tried to wipe it out.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

I actually looked up the story of The Seven Sisters / Pleiades on Wikipedia, the other day, 'cause I woke up from a dream that mentioned how ancient that story was. And I wanted to check how much of that was invented in-dream, and how much I was remembering something I learned while I was awake.

According to that article, some astronomers think that story is not ten thousand years old; they believe it to be a Hundred Thousand years old.

[the-elf-witch-from-space]

in the Haudenosaunee stories, we have the same 7 sisters, they danced without eating until they started to rise into the sky. One looked back to their parents and she became a falling star.

Independently we have almost the same story, even though we lived on the complete opposite of Earth

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

I'd say that rejecting biological determinism in favor of space gas determinism isn't the slay the astrology queers think it is but if I'm being completely honest I fear that many members of our community haven't even really rejected biological determinism so much as sprinkled a layer of glitter on it

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

well I think the main difference is that psychology is real

[xenodelic]

I hate to break it to you but much of psychology is just brain determinism. The idea that your neurological makeup or mental disorder fundamentally determines who you are as a person.

Psychology is historically built upon a basis of systemic bias. one of the earliest psychological diagnosis was Drapetomania, which was diagnosed to enslaved people that wanted to runaway. Homosexuality and female hysteria were in the DSM until the 70s.

In the modern day, disorders such as Oppositional Defiant Disorder are several times more likely to be diagnosed to Black children. BPD is more likely to be diagnosed to people who were AFAB.

"Psychology is real" is not the own you think it is. Psychology as a study continues to be largely based in the bias of researchers and functions as a tool of systemic oppression.

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

you understand how there's a difference between a a field of study being influenced by societal bigotries (ie, every field of study) and something just being completely made up tho right

it's such a bummer that losing control of your emotions only makes the entire situation worse in really embarrassing personal ways. losing control of my emotions should give me pyrokinesis.
