76 sacrificed children found from the 8th century Chimu Empire in Peru. All have had their hearts removed. Probably sacrificed to ensure good harvests for the whole community for years to come.

Everything we think of as a new fangled invention, some ingenious culture had thousands of years ago. This time its the Romans with the refrigerator.

This is a mist read thread!! How do we know Hadrian built the wall and the history of the longest footnote ever!
John Bull@garius
It's Friday. Have some history. So you know Hadrian's Wall? Well for over 1000 years everyone thought it was built by someone else. Until, in 1840, John Hodgson, an unknown Northumbrian clergyman published the LONGEST footnote in history. Read on... /1

Agree this should definitely be a paid role, especially if it will require a contract to maintain data confidentiality.

Interesting choices @V_and_A this week. Looking for a volunteer to deliver what is inarguably core IT department activity FOR FREE. It is never acceptable for volunteers to deliver a level of role that would reasonably expected of paid staff. app.vacancy-filler.co.uk/salescrm/Caree…

Interesting bit of history. Also evidence for a bit of a PR fail from the Royal family.

Tomb the size of a New York city block being excavated at Zhangzhou, dating to the Shang Dynasty. Among other treasures, a rare gold mask, maybe confirming early belief in the Chinese idea of the invincible golden man. thehistoryblog.com/archives/65140

@Adam_Creighton Wow, that's a lot of hate in the replies. Anyway, here in Brazil we've been using masks for 9 months, and it's definitely not humiliating. But there has emerged "shaming" of people who don't wear them. Woe be u if you post a photo without a mask, you'll get similar responses.

"I can limit my mask wearing to a few minutes of humiliation and discomfort every day or two. Hospitality workers, many who have spent long commutes on trains and buses in masks, then have to wear one for their entire shift as well." theaustralian.com.au/commentary/202…
