For Those Interested in Archaeology

"Japan has been inhabited by people since about 35,000 years ago. Roughly 16,500 years ago a group of Neolithic hunter-gatherers, referred to as the “Jomon” culture, developed a complex society including the production of pottery and jewellery.
About 3,000 years ago, rice cultivation in paddy fields was introduced to Japan. This saw the beginning of the Yayoi period which ended around the year 300 CE. After the Yayoi came the Kofun period (300–538 CE).
The new research, published in the Journal of Human Genetics, sought to understand the population dynamics behind this shift.
“There were various hypotheses to explain the history of the Japanese,” the authors write.
“For example, the ‘transformation model’ posits that only culture, not people, came from the continent. The ‘replacement model’ suggests a complete replacement of indigenous Jomon people by the Yayoi people, while the ‘hybridization model’ proposes admixture between indigenous Jomon people and continental immigrants.”"

The Japanese (and a few other countries these days) quite often will be seen with an umbrella (parasol) to keep the sun from giving them a tan...They want their skin to be white as possible - They dont seem to want to be seen as a "dark skin" person. Asian racism isn't a regular conversation point, but very much exists.
The Chinese (some) think they weren't derived from Africans but i whole other group...

 

The Chinese have a rather unflattering term for Australians…I quizzed a Chinese workmate on it only a couple of weeks ago…and he just smiled and replied that it was said tongue in cheek and not as a full insult…Basically like the words Pom or Paddy.
It translates roughly to mean ‘unsophisticated’…then they get to Australia and realise their ‘Mick Dundee’ view of Australia is a bit too simplified.

The Poms, notorious for their racist names, up until recently used to refer to Australians as ‘rock-apes’…And now they are flooding our shores…Dirty, stink’n Poms…Never seen a bar of soap in their lives.

 

Only ever heard that as forces slang for the RAF Regiment.

 

The Poms have a rich history of fucking with countries…Remember the Opium wars? Turn a whole country into drug Addicts and then control the drug…

 

Those from ‘Pommie land’ love making fun of Australia or just plain insult us…(The Poms are the funniest people on Earth, bet most didn’t know that) So we take it…and give it back. If you’re going to be insulted, why not from the best?

And Time Team will soon be passing amongst us once more-
"Dates have been announced for further excavations at a site famous for its historical discoveries.
The National Trust has announced that Time Team will return to Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge in Suffolk, in 2025 for a four-week excavation.
Time Team was at the site in June this year for the first dig where fragments of a sixth century Byzantine bucket and several Anglo-Saxon graves were discovered.
National Trust archaeologist Angus Wainwright said June's dig was the "most intensive period of excavation" at the site since the early 2000s."

"One of the most significant hoards ever found in Scotland has been saved for the nation, having been acquired by National Museums Scotland.
The Bronze Age Peebles Hoard was discovered in the Scottish Borders by a metal detectorist in 2020. It has since been painstakingly excavated, analysed and catalogued, revealing dozens of rare objects for the first time.
Efforts are now underway to secure funding for the continued research and conservation of the hoard and to uncover the secrets of this one-of-a-kind discovery.
Dating to 1000–800 BCE, the Peebles Hoard comprises over 500 unusual bronze and organic pieces and components that had lain undisturbed for 3000 years. It was allocated to National Museums Scotland under the Treasure Trove process, with an ex-gratia payment made to the detectorist who discovered it.
The hoard represents a complex set of material, some of which has no archaeological parallel anywhere in western Europe. This includes many unique artefacts, the use of which is yet to be discovered and could transform our understanding of life in Bronze Age Scotland."

"An unexpected discovery - scientists have found vibrant colours on 4,000-year-old vessels from the Inlaid Pottery culture. Archaeologists are studying a Bronze Age necropolis near the village of Balei, (Vidin district, Northwestern Bulgaria) which provides invaluable information about an unknown civilization concentrated on the lands of the Danube.
They subordinated their entire existence to the river. They accepted its good, resisted its whims. Four millennia back in time, a civilization developed along the Danube that has left us too little to fully unravel.
Nothing here suggested the presence of a necropolis. The graves were actually small vessels buried in the ground and it was an extremely rare chance not only to discover but also to recognize them as such. The river people left most traces near the village of Balei.
While digging an antiseptic pit, one of the workers recognized at the bottom the same vessel as those he had seen while exploring the Eneolithic settlement nearby. It later became clear that this was an urn and that there are many of them in the ground around them.
"There were bones here, burnt bones and there were burnt bones around the urn. This shows clearly that it is a grave with burnt corpse. They washed some of the burnt bones and put them in this urn, which was usually an amphora, a vessel for liquids," said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stefan Alexandrov, head of the archaeological excavations."

Brits have a Babylonian map showing location of Noah's Ark!

 

Literally means debbil peepul. Note: The Cantonese hate everyone including each other.

 

At 13:22 Mt. Ararat is also Urartu. How much info do you expect to squeeze into a tiny clay cuniform tablet. Smart Phones didn't work back then b/c a solar flare knocked out the BSS (Babylonian Satellite System). It also disabled all electric powered things, knocking the Babylonians back into the pre-industrial era. That had its bright side though. Chariot Making and harness makers was a booming business back then and better than using runners who had to take breaks.
