Warehouse Artifacts

Artifacts are items connected to some historical or mythological figure or event. Each artifact has been imbued with something from their creator, user, or a major event in history. On another note, I like to keep my eye out for new artifacts but any news on any artifacts let me know XD Oh I forgot! let me introduce myself. My name is Rel, I wish I was a agent or a helper or something. But you be surprise what else i can do XD. But still a beginner or something. .

Reenactor throws a spear at a drone

What a time to be alive.

“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.

The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.

Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)

I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it

[dwarven-beard-spores]

“Here’s how it worked: Fairy tales are transmitted through language, and the shoots and branches of the Indo-European language tree are well-defined, so the scientists could trace a tale’s history back up the tree—and thus back in time. If both Slavic languages and Celtic languages had a version of Jack and the Beanstalk (and the analysis revealed they might), for example, chances are the story can be traced back to the “last common ancestor.” That would be the Proto-Western-Indo-Europeans from whom both lineages split at least 6800 years ago. The approach mirrors how an evolutionary biologist might conclude that two species came from a common ancestor if their genes both contain the same mutation not found in other modern animals.”

Ship’s Medicine Chest  around 1800    

Starting in 1790, American merchant ships larger than 150 tons and with more than 10 crew members were required to have medicine chests with contents assembled by an “apothecary of known reputation.” These had to be accompanied by instructions for the administration of each medicine. Most commonly, either the captain or first mate administered pharmaceutical products to any crew in need.

This example has labels from the ports of Baltimore, Maryland; Mamaroneck, New York, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, indicating it was replenished more than once over its useful life. 

[mythologyofthepoetandthemuse]

We take it for granted, don’t we; but Medusa did nothing to Perseus to deserve to become a bodiless head. She didn’t provoke or insult him in any way; she didn’t even cross paths with him. She was unaware of his existence. She was also a victim of indignity herself before she emerged as “monster”. Perhaps we have internalized misogyny so much that we sometimes justify the birth and fate of other Medusas. Cause as species we tend to forget, we also tend to regress to types of thinking we have no clue about their formation. Is Medusa actually that ugly and despicable, is she truly the face of terror? The Muse The Medusa Rondanini is a late Hellenistic or Augustan Roman marble copy of the head of Medusa. The specific representation of Medusa appears more beautiful than the usually grotesque and apotropaic versions of Medusa in art. Glyptothek, Munich.

Admiring, maybe, not coveting.
