@archeohistories Okay bud

The 4000 year-old network of ceramic water pipes unearthed at archaeological site of Pingliangtai on Central Plains of China 🇨🇳 represents an unprecedented social and environmental manipulation as Neolithic societies faced surging environmental crises in East Asian Monsoon region... Ancient ceramic water pipes in China show neolithic people accomplishing complex engineering feats communally, without centralised authority. The pipes are 4000 years old, dating back to Longshan period (3000-1900 BC) of Chinese society. Also known as Black Pottery Culture, Longshan period marked transition from independent neolithic communities to China’s first dynastic states which emerged more than 3000 years ago. Team of archaeologists found oldest known ceramic water pipes in China, demonstrating that locals were capable of major feats of engineering without centralized state government. The findings are described in a study published August 2014, in the journal Nature Water. A network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at central Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai show signs of cooperation among the neolithic community to build and maintain water system, according to a study published in Nature Water. There is no record of centralised power or authority in region during that period. About 500 people would have lived in neolithic Pingliangtai. Town was surrounded by protective earthen walls and a moat. It sits on the Upper Huai River Plain. 4,000 years ago, region saw major seasonal climate shifts. Summer monsoons regularly saw 500mm of rain fall monthly. Managing such deluges would have been critical for region’s inhabitants. Pingliangtai’s neolithic occupants built and operated a two-tier drainage system unlike anything on Earth at the time. Drainage ditches running parallel to rowed houses diverted water from residences to a series of ceramic water pipes that carried water into town’s surrounding moat. The pipes have a diameter of about 20–30cm and are made up of 30–40cm segments that slot into each other to carry water over large distances. Pingliangtai’s drainage system is unique  for its primary function to divert flood waters. Other water infrastructure from this period around the world tended to be used for sewerage or other purposes. While it is unclear exactly how labour was divided, lack of any evidence of centralised power at the time suggests that townspeople worked together to build and maintain the structure. “The discovery of this ceramic water pipe network is remarkable because the people of Pingliangtai were able to build and maintain this advanced water management system with stone age tools and without the organisation of a central power structure,” says senior author Dr Yijie Zhuang from University College London’s Institute of Archaeology. This system would have required a significant level of community-wide planning and coordination, and it was all done communally. Previously, it has been assumed that complex water systems in ancient societies would have required strong, centralised governance or even despotism. India’s Indus River Valley contains the world’s oldest known water pipes. Copper pipes ran through a palace complex around 4000–3000 BC. Around the same time, ancient Egyptians and Minoans had established vast networks of underground water systems. These systems predated impressive Roman aqueducts by nearly 4000 years. They also emerged in societies that fit conception that only communities led by congregated authority saw building of complex water systems. “Pingliangtai is an extraordinary site,” says co-author Dr Hai Zhang of Peking University, China. “The network of water pipes shows an advanced understanding of engineering and hydrology that was previously only thought possible in more hierarchical societies.” #archaeohistories

@KalebGoodrich @archeohistories Except he's got a point.

@archeohistories BS

@Sadie_NC Blacks males represent 6% of the nation but cult 54% of the murders........

Just your average upstanding citizens in the Democratic-run South Side of Chicago. Which one do you think will be a doctor?

@iamyesyouareno Diversity is our strength.

I wonder why stereotypes exist.

@AntiWokeMemes Get the baby to a normal home and get these two at the bottom on the sea

Censorship fail

@Cate474 @histories_arch What a moron you are. Lol

@histories_arch It’s when government cares about their people. You need empathy for that. We are currently in short supply.

The Oslo Breakfast was introduced in 1932 to improve the health of Norwegian schoolchildren during a time of economic struggle. Developed by physician Carl Schiøtz, it featured simple, nutrient-rich items like whole grains, dairy, fresh produce, and cod-liver oil. Served cold, it was easy to prepare and distribute across schools. Its impact was remarkable. Children who regularly ate the Oslo Breakfast showed significant improvements in growth and overall health. Studies reported that 14-year-olds grew an average of four inches taller, making the program a celebrated example of how thoughtful nutrition could transform public health. #archaeohistories

@DrKafula @archeohistories In Muslim cultures this is pretty standard, when not fucking goats or our boys, I think it's called baca bazi? They love raping little boys, very common, every town has a spot for it. Pretty gross but that's Islam for ya.

@archeohistories Also they were committing incest!

In 1978, Soviet geologists discovered a family living in complete isolation deep in Siberia. The Lykovs had fled Stalin’s persecution in 1936 and, for 42 years, survived without any human contact, technology, or knowledge that World War II had even happened. The group of Soviet geologists surveying the remote Sayan Mountains of Siberia stumbled upon a wooden hut that seemed abandoned. To their astonishment, it was inhabited, by the Lykov family, who had been living in total isolation since the 1930s. Karp Lykov, a devout Old Believer, had fled with his wife and two children in 1936 to escape Stalin’s religious persecution. Deep in the taiga, over 150 miles from the nearest settlement, the family built a life entirely disconnected from the modern world. They grew rye and potatoes, made clothes from hemp, and lived without metal tools or contact with outsiders. When discovered, two more children had been born in the wilderness, neither had ever seen a stranger or even tasted bread. The Lykovs’ isolation lasted 42 years, ending only when they were rediscovered. When the geologists told the family that humans had landed on the Moon, they were astonished, unaware that World War II or the Space Race had ever occurred. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

@MartinPolanyi @archeohistories Vaginal.

@archeohistories How were the two children born?

@AnoisTeacht @archeohistories What a bastard to not do that, you insufferable moron.

@archeohistories What a bastard to do that to his family. Did he give them any choice?

@ErikUnchained @travelingflying Bingo.

@travelingflying You know, I’ve always had an open mind. I am so fatigued by these sub human pieces of shit. I hate them all and hope that all of them are deported. Newborn baby? Deport that too. I don’t give a fuck anymore. Fuck all these leeches.

”If you are not Black, you need my permission to speak”. And some people still claim that White people can’t be victims of racism…

@KnowledgeUpOnly @travelingflying What country are blacks thriving in today??? I'll wait......... Lol

@travelingflying Then listen to Franck.

@travelingflying She needs a dirt nap.

@AGHamilton29 Aren't you the worthless AG in a state full of corruption? Lol

The shooting in Minneapolis is basically a roarsach test online. People who don’t think ICE should be there or stopping people are convinced the use of force was wrong (this obviously includes a lot of the press). Those who believe they were right to be there and detain people view it as justified. But real life isn’t online. And at the end of the day everything isn’t as easy as sitting at home and analyzing video. These are real people. There are rules for when use of force is justified. The person in the vehicle was clearly wrong to ignore officers and try to drive off. But it’s never a good thing when someone loses their life needlessly and the officer involved is also going to have to live with being part of this for a long time. Whether the officer needed to use lethal force depends on their perception and whether they thought she was using her car in a way that would weaponize it and risk the safety of the officers or others. To make that determination, they will have to interview the officers involved, learn what was being said, and question the specific officer about what he was thinking at the time. I will say that the video being shared (below) certainly provides for a plausible belief that the driver was willing to drive over the officers. Of course there are other angles that suggest maybe there was more space/less risk. But the right thing to do is let investigators do their job and make a determination without it being dictated by the politics of the situation.

@AngryInAGoodWay @AGHamilton29 She's already dead at this point, first shot got her when she read still in front of the car. Cops aim and then fire, in other words he had aimed and shoots as she floors the throttle spinning on the ice.

@AGHamilton29 That’s a gun, point directly and at very close range to a driver clearly driving away from the shooter. It’s not a Rorschach test

Wrong. She was already in deep shit about to be arrested and told to step out of the vehicle. Then she stomps the gas pedal with a cop in front of her. Luckily the tire spins on the ice and the cop fires and is struck and bounces off car as he continues shooting. Glad she's dead.

@AGHamilton29 she was fleeing a lawful stop while and started fleeing after she was being addressed and ordered out of the car by the officer by her door... that already puts her out of tenn. v garner range doesn't it?

@simongerman600 @xruiztru Hilarious. Love what Trump is doing though.
