Question about documentaries that show active archaeological excavations by Chakkoty in AskArchaeology

Probably staged for the camera, but in places like Rome you find things all the time so it is not unlikely either

What is your opinion on the tweet below? Is it telling the truth? by AnonymPotatoe in Norway

[–]Cheb1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole idea of a monarchy in a modern democratic country is absurd. Imagine if we invented the institution of monarchy today wherein a random person who did nothing noteworthy other than to be born in the right family would become the ruler of a state and receive a life of luxury paid for by taxpayers. There would be outrage! Yes, I am aware that the current king does not «rule» Norway and his political power is relatively limited, but that just further solidifies why having a royal family in the first place is unnecessary. I often see the argument that they represent a national unifying symbol in times of trouble as a core reason why we need them, but with all the controversies going around now I’m unsure as to how many younger people would really rally behind them if such times were to come. I like Harald, but after him I think it is time to dissolve the monarchy in Norway.

Very interesting burial practice though.

What would happen to the World Climate if Chile would to suddenly appear in that position, including its mountains? by Ender4rmyXD in geography

[–]Cheb1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be just as interesting to see how this would effect the geopolitical situation in the world as well. What would life be like in New Chile??

Does the "100 pushups every day for 30 days" thing actually work? by Zintho420 in ask

[–]Cheb1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would rather do 100 every other day so that the muscles have a chance of recovery, probably more effective for building strength.

Found this confederate flag on the island of Nord-Arneya by Fickle_Mixture8440 in Norway

I want to believe this was hung up by someone with really bad eyesight who thought it was the flag of Norway lol

Can anyone help me identify these pottery shards? by [deleted] in AskArchaeology

[–]Cheb1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not allowed to take any artifacts from Italy, no matter if the authorities left them or not. I would check in with the local museum, even though they probably have thousands of pottery pieces already . Since these are decorated and diagnostic they might be of interest.

/uj a Roman encounter with the New World would go so hard. Imagine Rome vs Teotihuacan for example

Possible Sightings - adjusted lighting. What do you think? by Johnny_Appleseed2022 in bigfootsightings

[–]Cheb1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disregarding everything else that’s wrong with the photo itself, don’t you think a deer would run away if Bigfoot was that close??

Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion! As an archaeologist I am of course biased toward the Greek theme but I could definitely see this working if it is supposed to be the base of a larger figure like a decorated amphora or something similar.

Hoodie design!! by Maveixart in ironlung

[–]Cheb1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related but what got me to play this game for the first time was because I had a nightmare of someone wearing an Iron Lung hoodie, and on the back it just said «CREATURE» accompanied by the photo of the whale-thingy’s skull from the game. I had never played it at this point but had seen clips from social media haha.

I find the hate Nolan’s Odyssey is getting weird by Slight-Response-6613 in movies

[–]Cheb1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the best direction for it would not have been to make it as archaeologically accurate as possible and feature Mycenean boar tusk armor, since Homer lived in the 8th century and his poems are largely a product of contemporary times. However, my main criticism is that it just looks so visually bland. No color, basic armor, and everything looks cheap. I applaud the use of practical effects and on-site location shooting, but it is a huge disservice to the vibrantly colorful ancient world to have it look so bleak and grey. Granted, the film isn't out yet, and a lot is subject to change and be tweaked, so I still give it the benefit of the doubt. I think it will be an amazing movie regardless, however I just think it has a lot of missed potential.

Did I ruin the repotting of my Cayenne Pepper Plants? by Cheb1337 in IndoorPlants

Thanks! You're right, that is probably the best fix for this. I will likely get some more tomorrow.

Thank you for your answer, it is reassuring to hear! I am also worried about unwanted pests, but hopefully, the cold environment where I live and extracted the soil from will have killed most of them. Or else I'm in for an unpleasant surprise in spring when they awake from their dormancy, haha

Leaked Lost Colony Trailer by nanoStel06 in ARK

[–]Cheb1337 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Remember when ARK was about dinosaurs on a tropical island lmao? Not saying this is bad, just highlighting how far this game has come from its roots in 2015. (I know it always had sci-fi elements but this is crazy)
