Pffft, big deal. They have oodles of ancient skeletons sitting upright in the US. It’s called Congress!! Heyooooooooo!
It would be funny if it wasn’t the truth.
The Egyptians had no word for dying, they just said “going West”.
Not sure how true that is, but i remember it for whatever reason.
Given that most/many ancient cultures had a good handle on astronomy, it would make sense if they associated west with death. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it makes some logical sense to associate the east with beginnings of things and the west with endings
“A good handle on astronomy” in this context meaning: observing which in direction the sun goes down.
“Being an archaeologist can be a very frustrating profession,” she added.
Came to post that. Ouch.

Found near the Josephine Baker school.
For the Americans who weren’t taught their own history.
TBF it seems most of her history in the US was in entertainment and wearing a skirt made of fake bananas. Not really required learning. Her real activity seems to have taken place in France working with the French Resistance and civil rights, and unfortunately her civil rights work here was overshadowed by MLK.
Now if you can figure out why a great American’s work MOSTLY happened in France, you might actually understand why you didn’t learn about her in school.
Don’t think you’re catching me out. It was understood the instant I read about her. TF is wrong with you, you go straight to being insulting.
Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe take your own advice?
You were insulting in tone when you didn’t have to be. That’s from an unbiased observer.
Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?
Why? Are you that desperate for validation?

What the F. For what I am? Blocked. What is it with Lemmy the last couple days and these deliberately insulting assholes?
Have you considered the possibility that you are just a moron?
Not . . . sure that’s how history works tho
Wow, she was an amazing person. Thank you for drawing attention to our deficit
Glad to see the youth getting involved with science…
Children at a primary school in eastern France found a strange attraction next to their playground this week: a skeleton sitting upright, peeking out of a circular pit.
Call off Scoob and the gang, we found our suspects!
I mean, if i lay down for hours at a time i gotta sit up to stretch every now and then so i get it.
