@archeohistories Why are there skull looking on her ears? The lady on top left, zoom in ....

Queen Victoria had a granddaughter who lived into the 80s (Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone 1883-1981).... Queen Victoria, who ruled the British Empire from 1837-1901, had an enormous family, nine children and eventually 42 grandchildren spread across Europe’s royal houses. Because of that massive lineage, her influence stretched far beyond her own lifetime. One of her granddaughters, Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, lived an astonishingly long life, born in 1883 and passing away in 1981 at age 97. That means someone directly connected to Queen Victoria lived well into the modern television era, overlapping with events like the moon landing, both World Wars, and the early rise of personal computers. It’s incredible to think about that historical bridge. Princess Alice herself led a fascinating life. She was one of the longest-living British royals and spent many years supporting charitable work, particularly during her time in Canada when her husband served as Governor General from 1940-1946. During World War II, she helped promote nursing services and support organizations for women serving in the war effort. Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone (1883–1981) is still recognized as the longest-lived British princess by birth (a “princess of the blood royal”). Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, who married into the royal family, holds the overall longevity record for any British royal. © British History Unveiled #archaeohistories

@redbeardnft @Variety Trying to force them to rewrite and refill a season on a series isn't an opinion. It's trying to force your opinion on the people who made it. You can have your opinion, but you can't force them to change their work because of it. That's just asinine.

@Variety We aren’t allowed to have opinions bc he said so

Kit Harington says he was "genuinely angered" by the viral 2019 petition for “Game of Thrones” Season 8 to be remade with “competent writers": “Like, how dare you? Sorry, that’s just how I feel. I think it was a level of idiocy that can only come about through social media.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/k…

@Underrated_Dom @Variety Though, how could uou not predict that Daenerys would go rouge and end up not being a hero? They were hinting at that happening from the beginning.

@Variety That show should of had the most predict ending ever and it would hold the number 1 status of all time shows. Instead we waited 8 seasons for cerci to die by rock, Daenerys going rogue, night king dying so easy, making us like Jaime just to run back to sister and Bran as king…

@PlayoffWalter @Variety I like the ending and have rewatched it.

@Variety It totally ruined the rewatchability of the series.

@KuddoWen @Variety Some tallentless twit on Twitter who thinks their opinion matters. Who would've thought?

@Variety a bad actor with a bad cinema taste. who would've thought.

@Underrated_Dom @Variety Yeah, it was a whirlwind. Why would you want to be able to predict the ending? That would be so boring.

@TheDailyHPotter They have the bone structure snd physique for it.

After the Battle of Hogwarts, the Dementors turned to modeling 😂

@Avonleebythesea @archeohistories Have you read it?

@archeohistories What a silly review of an even sillier translation

When Emily Wilson published her translation of The Odyssey, it quietly but decisively shifted how many readers understood one of the foundations of Western literature. For centuries, English versions of the poem had been shaped by male translators who often filtered Homer’s Greek through Victorian, Edwardian, or mid-20th Century assumptions about gender, class, and morality. Wilson approached the text with a different aim: fidelity not to tradition, but to the language itself. Her translation pays close attention to what the Greek actually says, rather than what earlier translators assumed it meant. Where previous versions softened Odysseus into a noble hero or exaggerated the moral failings of female characters, Wilson strips away editorial judgment. Words that had long been rendered with moralizing or misogynistic overtones—especially when applied to women, servants, or the enslaved—are reexamined and translated with consistency and precision. A term describing women as sexually suspect, for example, is no longer quietly upgraded to “faithful” or “pure” when it suits male sympathy. Equally important is what Wilson avoids. She resists anachronistic language that romanticizes violence, hierarchy, or domination. Her Odysseus is clever and ruthless, not automatically admirable; Penelope is intelligent and strategic, not merely patient and chaste. Enslaved women are named as enslaved, not euphemized into “maids,” forcing modern readers to confront the social realities the poem assumes rather than smoothing them away for comfort. Wilson’s choices don’t modernize Homer—they clarify him. By refusing to insert gendered judgment or inherited bias, her translation reveals how much earlier versions reflected the values of their translators rather than the ancient text. The result is an Odyssey that feels sharper, more unsettling, and more honest: a poem about power, survival, and storytelling itself, finally allowed to speak without centuries of moral varnish. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@AncPhi @BurnerBuddha @archeohistories How you managed to get married is beyond me.

@BurnerBuddha @archeohistories I am married with a family, idolator. It's feminist trash because that's what it is. You know nothing of Greek or translation but much about your own navel.

@AncPhi @archeohistories So, because a woman did it and didn't force societal norms and expectations on it, it's feminist? Interesting.

@archeohistories A feminist translation is possibly the most biased form of Homer.

@RBurtonsLiver @DiscussingFilm She doesn't hold a candle to Miss Piggy.

@DiscussingFilm What about Amy Schumer? She looks like a pig

Emma Stone says she is not playing Miss Piggy in the ‘MISS PIGGY’ movie that she is producing. “That is the biggest insult to Miss Piggy I’ve ever heard, and I will not have her name dragged through the mud like that. Why would I play a literal star? She’s the greatest. No, of course I’m not playing Miss Piggy” (Source: wmagazine.com/culture/emma-s…)

@AbsalonSophie @DiscussingFilm She is exactly who I pictured. She is the epitome of the fabulousness that Miss Piggy is.

@histories_arch The amount of people who don't understand that those are two separate photos is astounding. There is nothing to indicate that those footprints are huge. And just because you can't see a right foorprint in the photo, that doesn't mean there are none.

23,000 years ago humans walked across what is now White Sands National Park in southern New Mexico and their footprints are still there... Preserved in layers of gypsum rich sediment these tracks belong to adults and children moving across a wet Ice Age lakebed while mammoths giant sloths and dire wolves roamed nearby. Some trails even show children being carried set down and picked up again snapshots of real human behavior frozen in time. In several cases human tracks intersect with megafauna prints suggesting people were not just passing through they were actively navigating a dangerous landscape. What makes this discovery so striking is the date. At over 23,000 years old these footprints place humans in North America during the height of the last Ice Age thousands of years earlier than the long accepted timeline. Researchers dated the tracks by radiocarbon testing ancient seeds of ditch grass trapped in the sediment layers directly above and below the footprints. Multiple samples from different layers produced consistent results strengthening the reliability of the age. The tracks survived because they were pressed into soft wet ground then rapidly buried and sealed by fine gypsum sediments before erosion could erase them. This is not a theory built from fragments. It is direct evidence of human presence. So the question is simple how many chapters of human history are still literally buried beneath our feet? #archaeohistories

@bruceaswanton @histories_arch It's just two photos from different perspectives. There is nothing to indicate that the prints are abnormally large.

@histories_arch Marvelously concocted visual. That would be Bigfoot, wudnit?

@BeLessWasteful @histories_arch No, they aren't. Stop stating things as fact, that you know nothing about.

@histories_arch Those are chimp prints

@JayPea55348805 @histories_arch There is no frame of reference in the top photo, so I'm not sure why you think they're huge.

@histories_arch How big ARE those feet?

@EaglesBowl2022 @histories_arch Or a Neanderthal like you.

@histories_arch Illegals most likely

@MichaelFol61157 @histories_arch You're a piece of shit and far closer to a Neanderthal than anyone I've ever met.

@histories_arch They still around , they called Neanderthals or African Americans and still uncivilized as we speak.

@JohnMal58201111 @histories_arch Or that's all you were seeing in the image.

@histories_arch Yes, two left feet! He was probably a terrible dancer!!!

@mclo_Bridger @histories_arch You're wondering that even though the bottom photo is of a man excavating the site?

@histories_arch if in gypsum, how were they found ?
