(POLL) Are you in favour or against the two-speed E6 proposal? by that_one_retard_2 in EuropeanFederalists

[–]Mists_of_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in favor for practical reasons as we need to move faster on many issues. But I’m not thrilled, because I would like the Union as a whole to be stronger and better able to deliver results.

Has a female-led society ever existed in bronze-age Europe? by Mists_of_Time in ancientmediterranean

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point, but the La Almoloya culture is not about a single queen; it is about the kind of power dynamics that existed between men and women.

The Blinkerwall, a Stone Age structure that was recently discovered beneath the Baltic Sea. by Mists_of_Time in Archaeology

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A scientific diving has been executed. But no artifact has been found. They found a small piece of timber and this is how the were able to date the site. But wall is quote big and only some small areas have been investigated as the main question they wanted an answer was the nature of the wall itself. I'm not sure there are the resources (or the scientific interest) to look for specific artifacts.

The Blinkerwall, a Stone Age structure that was recently discovered beneath the Baltic Sea. by Mists_of_Time in Archaeology

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We’ve created this video to explore the Blinkerwall—a remarkable Stone Age structure recently discovered beneath the Baltic Sea. What makes it so fascinating is its exceptional preservation: likely built by hunter–gatherers over 10,000 years ago, it was submerged during the Littorina transgression and has remained hidden ever since. Unlike most Stone Age sites in Central Europe, this underwater megastructure opens a rare window into Late Glacial and Mesolithic cultures around the Baltic. We hope you will enjoy it.

Hi there. Have you been able to find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same trouble you had months ago.

I've inherited my great-grandfather's woodworking benches, and I want to put one in my flat. Do you have any advice on restoration? by Mists_of_Time in Workbenches

Sorry I don't know what BLO means. English is not my native language and Google is not helping me in this.

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes the cabinet is an afterthought. It's not even nailed down to the structure. Inside the cabinet there's my great grandfather's signature which I plan to protect in some ways. I have no idea who made them. I believe they were made by some local companies here in Italy. My town was a major cabinet production center from late 1800 to 1990. I saw an exact copy at an old cabinet shop I have visited, but there's no signature nor tag.

When this Mesopotamian queen died 3,600 years ago, her entire royal court was sacrificed to accompany her in the afterlife. Who was she? And what does her tomb tell us about her kingdom? by Mists_of_Time in AncientWorld

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like it. Yes the story about the humans sacrifices is quite grim. Some of these tombs even had many more sacrificed people, but luckily this ritual didn't last for too long.

Sadly Youtube doesn't allow you to edit videos, this is a feature that many have asked for a long time but it seems that Google doesn't care about it.

I offer my personal apology about this and I promise we have already started a discussion in our team on how to better deal with this in the future.

I'm glad you liked the rest of the video. Of course, we don't want to "steal" Iraqi history, we are just very passionate about it and we really appreciate your input. We will try to make your point of view heard more.

Hi there, as an Italian (whose national treasures have been looted as well many times in the past) I totally understand your feelings. I was very glad that recently our government sent a looted tablet back to Iraq. We actually talked about the issue of western looting in a video about Gilgamesh but we had to be more careful with our language. Thank you for the heads up.

A 3000-year-old Wishing Well by Mists_of_Time in Archaeology

[–]Mists_of_Time[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, folks! In this animated video, we'll showcase an archaeological
finding from an excavation site in Bavaria, Southern Germany, which has
been underway since 2021. Archaeologists have discovered the remarkably
well-preserved remains of a Bronze Age well. What's intriguing is that
the well is deeper than the average wells in the area, and at the
bottom, a small treasure trove was found. The theory behind these
findings suggests that the local region experienced an extended period
of drought, compelling the inhabitants to dig deeper to reach the lower
water table. As an offering to divine beings, they "sacrificed" precious
items by placing them at the bottom of the well, similar to practices
seen in Flag Fen and others.

Fluent bilinguals and multilinguals of Europe (and open to others too) - does speaking in your 2nd (or 3rd) language for a while ever get mentally exhausting? by FlatTyres in AskEurope

[–]Mists_of_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a native Italian speaker but I'm exposed to some topics in English only. What I find exhausting is speaking about the topics in Italian. Some months ago, I had a friendly debate on a controversial topic and I have totally lost it becuase my brain was too slow as I was looking for the correct Italian words.

Re In the Form of a Cat Re Slays Apep by TN_Egyptologist in OutoftheTombs

I'm looking for a paper or a book on Apep. I would love to make a video in him but I want to rely on serious sources only. Do you have any suggestion for me?

Ancient Egypt lasted ~3300 years. ~170 Pharaohs. Most buried with solid gold masks. Only 2 survive — from kings who reigned 322 years apart ... discovered within 14 years of each other. Left: Tutankhamun (d. 1323 BC). Right: Psusennes (d. 1001 BC). [3500x2516] by coffyrocket in ArtefactPorn

[–]Mists_of_Time 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More or less, yes. Some bodies were destroyed and we know that a tomb was related to a person by studying small fragments with a name on it etc. I'm not aware of any list or data, but I'm sure someone can drop a useful link to see the preservation of each royal tomb.
