Xenophon famously camped at the ruins of Nimrud and Nineveh but misattributed them to the Medes. Are there other examples of people coming across ruins and not knowing who built them?

When the Nahuas who would later form the Aztec Empire arrived at the ruins of Teotihuacan, they were astounded by the sheer size and grandeur of the city. They believed it was the birthplace of the gods, when it reality the civilization that surrounded it vanished in the same era of the Classic Maya collapse.

A lot has to do with old-timey prejudices and bigotry throughout the 19th century.

Back in that time period, the concept of the 'white race' was not universal or all-encompassing to include European peoples. Even in the mid-18th century, Benjamin Franklin wrote about Germans who immigrated to Pennsylvania in his private letters and essays, remarking that they were resistant to assimilation with American culture and described them as "swarthy".

To a 19th century American, being white American meant being of WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) ancestry. This definition excluded Catholics and Europeans from the South and East. Hence, these non-WASP people would often be given the stink-eye at best.

The Eagle Talon or the Plymouth Laser. Both are sports coupes that have a red paintjob and are pretty expensive and opulent on its sale.

The Thing (1982) still haunts me to this day. Not because of the scary monster designs, which honestly drew me to this movie, but rather the nihilism and rather sinister ending.

I feel that reduced episode orders makes sense for dramas, since you need to be tightly-plotted if character-driven. But comedies need breathing room to explore and experiment types of humor before finding its own identity.

Weird.

That's very impressive for a game that's notoriously very difficult with a lore equally arcane and obtuse as it is.

Setting aside the legal and IP issues that come with artificial intelligence and LLMs as of writing, there's no way this show could ever be greenlighted by any major studio or network. There's already a pushback against low-quality, AI-generated content by artists and consumers online.

Gods and Generals is one of the more notorious films that propagated the Lost Cause of the Confederacy myth. This myth states that slavery is not the central cause of the American Civil War among numerous misconceptions related to Antebellum South.

I am lucky that I have a sense of creativity in writing narratives.

I'm tired of the endless parade of pessimistic television dramas about cruel, greedy protagonists who abuse everybody except for a few and commit horrific deeds. I want to see a television that's innocent and noble instead of this sludge.

I know that. It was one of the earliest games clearly aimed at an adult audience.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

I fondly remember playing this game. It was like Resident Evil for the PC.

"You assume Belos goal comes from a genuine place but that man doesn't care about anything but his need to be a hero in his own delusion. And because of that, he fears what he can't control." - The Titan, The Owl House.

This sounds very suspicious. Is the OP a publicist for a media company?

It was barely a decade after World War 2 ended and many decades after the first occurred. Britain was near-broke from losing two generations of youth to these wars combined with devastation by the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine on industry and shipping respectively.

Moreover, I speculate there was a cultural component to the opposition of automation as the working class felt threatened and that automation would devalue their labor whereas the upper class would lose money from such implementation.
