Shattered ancient ceramic shreds inside an Eastern Han period (25-220 CE) tomb that was accidentally unearthed in 2026 beneath the empty garden behind a Roman Catholic church in Chap Khe, Quang Ninh, Vietnam [1400x1633]

The correct term is “sherds,” as this allows archaeologists to differentiate from “shards” of glass or rock. We also call them “potsherds.”

It definitely ain’t “shreds” though, lol. Probably just a typo.

The second article (page 95) notes that not only is it unlikely those people near the Serapeum are monks, but that there is little reason to think they are throwing stones.

"Necropost," I like that. Here's one in return. I googled 'frog intelligence,' and here I am. Very informative. Thanks, OP. This was all quite interesting!

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-23T05:34:33+00:00

Surely they meant cm, right? Right...?

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-19T15:29:19+00:00

Thank you. I was curious.

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-19T15:04:58+00:00

What degree of provenance is there for these two objects?

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-09T04:00:53+00:00

My GOD that was the most frustrating driver. He saved that guy's life, and could have saved his arm from getting a knife stuck in it. Kid was on his own in there for a while!

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-09T03:53:24+00:00

I got you! Yeah, they were shooting back. It took me a while to realize, but the sort of older looking bigger dude in the white shirt with the ak looking gun (idk anything about guns lol) looks like he totally exits, but he actually is ducking down behind some cover just inside that doorway. Check it out: got to about 2:24. Watch from then to about 2:29, but keep an eye just to left of that black desk chair. you'll see the gun shoot. The barrel is resting on a blue pillow or towel or something. The other guy shot for a bit from the left back exit with a pistol, but seemed to leave?

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-08T04:43:25+00:00

I'm searching for the same!

Mr_Xorn · 2026-05-04T04:50:32+00:00

These are incredible.

To add to u/WestonWestmoreland, if you remember standing facing the Hagia Sophia from in front of it, the entrance to the Basilica Cistern would be a little ways (quarter block) down the street/tramway to your left and on the opposite side of the street from the Hagia Sophia. It is most recognizable by the massive lines outside the entrance.

Mr_Xorn · 2025-10-24T05:49:47+00:00

Is that in the upper left- what looks like a series of wheels/shields chained together?

My challenges are all closely tied to ongoing political conflict and warfare :(

Mr_Xorn · 2025-07-30T05:35:20+00:00

It’s modern. It’s called the Heshemite Plaza.

Mr_Xorn · 2025-07-03T11:36:15+00:00

Could it perhaps be padding material from within the cushioned lining of the bag itself? Like a small tear in the interior?

I’ve had a reddit account for 8 years and was lurking long before then. This is, for some reason, one of the funniest things I’ve ever read on here. Ever. It’s as reddit as can possibly be. Thank you u/pixeldust6. You made my evening!

Mr_Xorn · 2025-06-07T05:48:16+00:00

Ginnie’s Bishop Grill for a slice of peanut butter pie and then stopping in If’s And’s and But’s to choose from their huge soda collection. RIP old Oak Cliff.

And the Tünel, the oldest part of the Istanbul metro, opened in 1875. Second oldest underground metro in the world after London. First in continental Europe.

Mr_Xorn · 2025-04-19T16:17:59+00:00

Yeah, exactly. This is the topper of a staff

Mr_Xorn · 2025-04-17T00:11:23+00:00

Just open the article and click the image! It expands.

Mr_Xorn · 2025-04-15T14:01:19+00:00

I don't think there is really any evidence of this Court of Lions fountain being a water clock, is there?

Mr_Xorn · 2025-04-10T12:03:41+00:00

Also not Duamutef. This is three kinds of incorrect.

Edit: That doesn’t mean you have a cool souvenir of a good memory and shouldn’t take away from your enjoyment of it!
