The Etruscans are one of antiquity's greatest mysteries. They spoke a strange, non-Indo-European language, completely isolated in a sea of Italic speakers. For over two thousand years, historians argued about where they came from. Herodotus swore they migrated from Anatolia after a massive famine. In 2021, a breakthrough archaeogenetics study finally pulled DNA from Etruscan tombs. The results shattered the ancient myths. Genetically, the Etruscans were indistinguishable from their Latin neighbors. They carried the exact same heavy signature of Yamnaya Steppe ancestry as the rest of Iron Age Italy. There was no secret Near Eastern migration. This reality creates a massive problem for historical linguistics. Across Europe, the spread of Steppe DNA almost perfectly tracks the spread of Indo-European languages. In Etruria, that rule broke completely. The Etruscans took the genes of the steppe invaders but absolutely refused to take their language. This proves that massive genetic turnover does not automatically mean cultural erasure. A language can survive even when a population's DNA is fundamentally rewritten over centuries.

I unironically think viruses were some kind of antediluvian biotech that just continued on after its builders drowned.

Ceremonial/symbolic red face-paint to signify martial skill. You don't see that as much anymore.

@T2501LFC @AnfieldEdition Wtf 😭

@AnfieldEdition A quarter of those points came in our first 5 games. Unbelievable

60 points is the lowest a team has finished on to secure Champions League football in history. We’re very, very lucky.

@Beyondsimplify 88 frames on ultra is still really good. They don't need to directly compete with Nvidia on performance right now. Just being an affordable option on the market will dominate the market

This card cannot beat a 3 year old NVIDIA card in a straight race as of today. In Cyberpunk it pushed 88 frames a second the Nvidia card pushed 232. But they designed the whole thing themselves and just like BYD and Mobiles this too will end up dominating the market soon.

@woke8yearold Oh my God he's real. Literally called Rob Fortune.

Tfw you’re a botanist and treasure hunter named Robert Fortune and then steal China’s tea

The story of how a British guy stole tea from China is really funny. He spoke Chinese and hired a local guide, then got the right haircut and clothes. When he approached people he said he was from a distant province beyond the wall and they were like yeah seems legit

Too much of the British working class revels in this sort of grotesque oafishness

@YNWAsad @TheAthleticFC Lucas Leiva wasn't mediocre. He was a tidy player. Was an engine not a world beater

@TheAthleticFC Was told the same about Lucas Leiva and turned into a mediocre loving CDM. Under Slot I see no development

Who is Samuel Martinez, the 17-year-old Colombian who could be heading to Liverpool? ■ A tall, modern No 10 whose movement resembles Kaka ■ Starred at the COMNEBOL Under-17 championship ■ Is a skilled dribbler, has an accomplished range of passing but can also press ■ Attracted interest from Bayern Munich and other top European clubs 📝 @FelipeCar 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/73031…

I imagine this is the kind of street performer you'd randomly come across in Istanbul 400 years ago

@EuroWynner It's soul food. Nobody does gravy and rich sauces like the English. If you love savoury and deep meaty flavours then you'd love the cuisine.

British food lowkey insanely good

@kleptocrow That's what pubs are for

i dislike london because where are the toilets

@enzio8843 @UBERSOY1 You have North African admixture for sure, especially in the south, and vice versa.

@UBERSOY1 Italy has 0% arab admixture retard. Russian slav monkeys arent White btw

It’s funny how Nordic people aren’t perceived as attractive while people with high Middle Eastern admixture are

@Han31506417073 To control the goyim

Unless your country is under occupation or threat of occupation what’s the point of nationalism exactly

@YcoleLifeStyle @PRIMEFARMOR @TouchlineX 1st and 2nd go up automatically. Then 3rd plays 6th, and 4th plays 5th. The winner of each of those games face eachother in the Playoff Final. Winner is the third team to get promoted.

@PRIMEFARMOR @TouchlineX Yes but I don’t get. If the first team loses to the 6th team so they won’t qualify? Please explain

🚨 𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗭𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧: Hull City ended 6th in the Championship this season. Today they qualified for the Premier League.

@Wheddsta Waffle because International Football is a different game to Domestic Football and shots outside the box and other such things are way more common

Football is so obsessed with xG and analytics nowadays so players don’t attempt things like this. That’s why we rarely see screamers any more. Game has become so boring.
