honey is the only food product that never spoils. there are pots of honey that are over five thousand years old and still completely edible

[lesbianshepard]

i also want to point out we know it tastes the same even after thousands of years b/c archaeologists who discovered two thousand year old honey tasted it. presumably right after they looked at each other and went “what the hell here goes nothing”

I’m pretty sure they also identify human remains by taste. Archaeologists are straight up freaks.

[notaflippinmermaid]

No, no no… you identify bone from rock or other substances by touching it to your tongue. If it sticks, it’s bone. The taste itself has nothing to do with it. And most archaeologists won’t lick human bones if they know they’re human.

…and I realize that doesn’t actually do much to prove archaeologists aren’t freaks.

mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

[dinosauriaawesome]

I’m sitting with a bunch of archaeologists and we just laughed so hard we CRIED we’re getting tshirts with this on them

I will never ever get tired of seeing bredlik poems. It is really one of the seminal art forms of the century. I am not being sarcastic. 

[wholesome-dragon-lady]

If I ever don’t reblog this, assume I’m dead and archaeologists are licking my bones.

The fact that Hector's epithet is “with the shining helm” and his helmet is such a huge part of his identity because he is first and foremost a warrior and then when he goes to see his wife and child, his son is so scared of the helmet that he starts crying and Hector takes off the helmet and lays it in the dirt so he can hold his kid? That’s evil. Homer was evil for that

Context for anyone who is wondering: Lamine Yamal's parents won an UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot in which Barça players posed with kids, and 5 month old Lamine happened to get 20yo Messi. Which is like. Literally insane

"Nobody likes you"

Which means that Odysseus, son of Laertes, sacker of cities, King of Ithaca likes you.

remembering Greek words because of the Genshin elements are based on Greek words: boring, basic, too easy

remembering Genshin elements because you studied Greek and they're based on Greek words: hellish, makes you sound cool, makes you want to kill yourself in the long term
