Scientists Found the Secret to Roman Concrete in a Half-Finished Pompeii Living Room

Among Pompeii's ruins scientists found the proof that finally confirms their theories about Roman concrete.

MIT researchers have finally confirmed that ancient builders harnessed a volatile, high-heat mixing technique. This process grants concrete the ability to repair its own cracks — a breakthrough that could help our own modern infrastructure withstand the elements.

My best advice as an old person in the hetalia fandom is that if you see someone being harmlessly wrong about your culture/nation, respond with kindness and grace. The barrier of entry of this fandom is getting really impossible if you cannot be new to your researching and build your meta/lore in a supportive and collaborative environment. Sometimes, the crash out you want to have on your blog has way more visibility than you think and it makes people not want to engage in your fave blorbos at all.

some monday reminders :) these are up on my shop in various forms

[thatlittleegyptologist]

There are times when I think 'yeah I have a PhD, but it's only in the study of Ancient Egypt' and then the little bitch voice who screamed at me to get up during the depression I experienced during writing it re-emerges and just sticks something like this in the forefront of my mind:

It forces me to remember that, no, it wasn't 'just about Ancient Egypt'. My ass can read that with no issue. Not many people can do that. It's a skill, and one many people with a lot less skill in it will try to square up on. It feels egotistical, but at the end of the day, no, I do know more about this than most people.

Downside of this is that as soon as you learn the sentence structure for the Egyptian language, most people's attempts at faux hieroglyphs on things become so laughably fake it's kinda painful. Also people who use hieroglyphs in usernames to mean something else. Best one I saw was a guy using the 'enemy with axe embedded in their skull' hieroglyph as 'guys getting down at the club'. I mean they were at the club, but like the receiving end.

[hyperspacial]

she should be at the club

the club in question:

[thatlittleegyptologist]

#Being able to read hieroglyphics is such a flex #I got a BS in history and all I got was a 60 page paper on pharma bankruptcy in the 80s so. Wish had left academia with something useful

I can flex harder? I can read Old, Middle, and Late Egyptian, which is like reading Old, Middle, and Modern English. I can also read Hieratic, which is the shorthand form of the Hieroglyphic script, and I can do that in all those three languages too. On top of that, I can read Coptic. On top of that again, I am familiar with (academic) French, German (when brain is in gear), Spanish, and Italian. I have other languages, but those are the ones I'm most competent in.

[ospreyonthemoon]

That is incredibly impressive. Good job!

[melonbride]

where can you learn hieratic? how does it compare to the hieroglyphs? is there a one-to-one conversion between the logographs between the two?

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I learned Hieratic at university as part of my MA degree. It required me knowing Old, Middle, and Late Egyptian before I even started to learn it because you have to know what it is you're looking at. I don't know of anywhere you can learn it properly outside of an academic institution.

No, it's not a one to one conversion. I said it's like shorthand, and I meant that. Each sign has its own form, but it's not necessarily anything like the sign it represents. They're quick forms of the signs, designed to be written in ink rather than carved in stone (because they really didn't write in full glyphs in ink unless they were doing something special like a Book of the Dead, and even then that's called Cursive Hieroglyphs) and often they're just lines because there's an assumption that the reader is familiar with what *should* be there.

This is the difference:

The second image here is the *original* text, whereas the first image is the transcribed version into hieroglyphs which is easier for most Egyptologists to parse than the Hieratic original.

Some signs *might* look like their hieroglyphic counterpart, but the majority of them have a different form all together, and you have to be able to parse that. For instance, you have to know what you're looking at to understand that:

is

The full section is easier, but you still have to know some things:

You've really got to know what you're looking at to understand that the edge of the cartouche, the sun symbol, and the wsr (jackal head on a stick) symbol are all rolled into that sign that looks like a 13.

It ain't easy.

It's one for one on the number of marks on the page but not for what it looks like, and it all depends on the handwriting too. Some are better at writing than others, and some had more time to write. The text above is a legal text recorded at the time the trials were happening, so it's quick and messy. Something like P.Ebers, a medical papyrus, is much neater because it was copied up cleanly.

Pokemon headcanon that once Absol are studied and people realize they prevent disasters instead of causing them, particularly dangerous workplaces get themselves a workplace Absol and it also decreases accidents.

Construction sites and fishing ships and factories will have one that pretty much just lazes about until it just gets up howling one day and knocks a dude down. They almost never figure out what would have happened but they're always like "yes absol thank you absol I am so grateful to be on the floor right now. Can I offer you a treat in this trying time"

fucks me up to think about how sabo doesn't think of the mera-mera fruit as his fruit, his ability. it's always ace's. it's always ace. literally ace himself, living on in his own brother. in sabo's body, scarred by fire, empty of memory until ace's death. as if waiting.
