Eyyyyy I got some asks
tomb of the lost queen: what lost historical artifact would you like to discover?
Does Atlantis count as a lost historical artifact? Cause if so Atlantis. Anything that has the slightest possible chance of creating mermaids I am ALL OVER it. But okay there are so many other lost historical artifacts I’d rather find like Lewis Carroll’s Diaries because oh boy I am obsessed with Alice in Wonderland AND HE WAS JUST AN AVID DIARY WRITER. Like part of what is missing is his detailed account of when he was writing Alice and oh boy can you imagine knowing what the true nature of his relationship with the real Alice Liddel was?? Tho tbh maybe it’s good that a decedent of his destroyed it.
So I guess that leaves me with the missing da Vinci manuscripts because oh boy he created some amazing things like scuba gear, helicopters, cars, and 80% of his manuscripts are GONE. Can you imagine what we would have made faster if we had them?????? Technology could be completely different.
Honorable mentions: The original Hamlet because goddamn it I got a degree in English and I’m a Shakeseare nerd and omfg I would love having that and reading that and knowing what Thomas Kyd wrote in 1589 and why Thomas Nashe trashed it. I want to know how Shakespeare changed and altered it. Lastly, all of the art destroyed by the goddamn Crusades. I’M SO MAD ABOUT THE CRUSADES. ALSO THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA.
labyrinth of lies: if you were a greek god(dess), which one would you be?
Persephone if I’m being honest. I had to do a presentation on her when I was in the 6th grade and at the start I had absolutely no Idea who she was and I was pissed and trying to trade (I was even pronouncing her name like Purse-phone. Sixth grade me was an IDIOT) But I fell in love with her when I was doing research because tbh I personally subscribe to the notion that Persephone went willingly with Hades because Demeter was so overbearing. Also Hades is the most faithful of the Greek gods. He only tried to cheat on her once to no avail meanwhile his brother Zeus is getting with everyone. So I think he genuinely loved her and that they came to love each other.
