This reminds me of the fact that “Ancient Egypt” goes back so many thousands of years, that the most recent “Ancient Egyptians” were already studying (even more) Ancient Egypt.
Not even the most recent ones. It was an Egyptian prince from the 13th century BCE studying and restoring artifacts from the 26th century BCE.
For context, the last Pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, lived in the 1st century BCE. Prince Khaemweset, known as “the first egyptologist”, was as ancient to her as the pyramids and tombs he was studying were ancient to him.
I remember having me mind completely blown when I learned that the “New Kingdom” was pre-Bronze Age Collapse.
This has totally be mentioned in another fork of this post, but it reminds me quite a bit of Ennigaldi-Nanna’s museum, a museum in Ur, c. 530 BC, which housed mesopotamian artifacts dating back in some cases to the 20th century BC
I bet there’s at least one guy who uses a wheelchair who became a sneakerhead just for the laughs. Wearing pristine bright white brand shoes like “if you let your shoes touch the ground you’re a bitch. If you keep them on display and never wear them, you’re a coward. I’m the only one doing this correctly. Fuck you, get on my level.”
i like when you meet a couple that’s a fun bisexual and her nerdy boyfriend and then you check in a few years later and now they’re a fun bisexual and her nerdy wife. hit with the transgenderism beam yet largely unaffected in the romance department. really living the dream.
Love in Star Trek when there’s a character who’s regularly anywhere but their station. In TNG it’s Data being in engineering (he wants to see Geordi), in ds9 it’s Julian being in ops (he wants to gossip), and in TOS it’s Bones being on the bridge (he wants to instigate and be close to the drama).
