new tragic plot line by the way is both the to-be snake witch (older daughter) and the current snake witch (mother) die so it goes to the younger daughter who is too young to even traditionally be a witch but the mothers familiar deems it to be so

Europe’s Oldest Map: The 4,000-Year-Old Saint-Bélec Slate

The Saint-Bélec slate, dating back 4,000 years, is considered the oldest known map of Europe.

Discovered over a century ago in northwestern France, the slab remained forgotten until its rediscovery in 2014.

By analyzing local waterways and the positions of ancient architectural sites — especially megaliths — researchers determined that the map represents an area of approximately 630 square kilometers.

This ancient map has already guided scientists to several archaeological discoveries.

The slate itself is massive, weighing between 1.5 and 2 tons, measuring 2 meters in length, 1.5 meters in width, and 15 centimeters thick.

I bought a globe at an antique store from the mid 1940s and I love it because I am a nerd but I also feel like I need to print this out to display beside it

WR is sinking into the ground. a dense jungle borne of the old farms she once tended to has grown around her. the ghost of her creator and parent sits on her crown, unable to reach her. of the group, reeds is the closest to collapse. she's waiting patiently for it. she looks forward to the day she may finally meet the earth, from which all life came, and all life will return.

i accidentally went way harder on this than i meant so may as well show off. heres a map of whispering reeds surroundings, including hypothetical region names, rough outline of the path, and pearl and echo locations. this is way more ambitious than i know i should be but i would love to bring WR to life via a custom region mod... i have the most ideas about her physical surroundings and i think it would be interesting to get to meet the rest of the local group via pearls she reads to you about them. id love to make regions for them too but lmaooo thats too much but i do plan on giving them maps too. i think their environments can tell a loooot about their stories!

the dellamorte house is one of the few crow houses that is a literal family. before house velardo attempted a coup, house dellamorte had caterina (first talon), her husband (grandmaster), her five children and their spouses (four master assassins, five assassins) and eight grandchildren (six fledglings). doesn't sound like a big house, i know, but that's why dellamorte has usually relied upon their cuchillos for support--many of which are also literal families, though not all.

only illario and lucanis were not crows, not technically, but began their training shortly after.

and if you're doing math and noticed i only have nine for caterina's kids and their spouses, that's because lucanis' mother did not marry another crow--she spoke with caterina at length about securing house dellamorte's future and convinced her it was in their best interests to bring a rich merchant into the fold. it helped that she also loved him, but his money and influence stabilized the house from the continuous infighting amongst the crows, in addition to getting them closer ties to the merchant princes. as he himself had aspirations of becoming one of the few dozen merchant princes, with his marriage to caterina's favorite daughter and heir, the couple would effectively rule antiva.

the coup, then, was an especially painful blow. house dellamorte was not supposed to survive, but due to some heroics and quick thinking, lucanis and illario were secreted away and caterina managed to survive, the three of them now faced with a grim future.

Well, I mean the title for this article is hugely misleading, but the article itself is really interesting.

i played the remastered alan wake a while back and am replaying the original on steam, and, honestly, they’re so similar, I couldn’t tell which is which if you held up comparisons. ive come across reviews about the game looking outdated and bad (mostly compared to other releases in that time), but the original looks great and I like the hazy dark lighting for both this and awan

[lemonsweet]

And it's funny because the gen 4 games all talk about the myths and legends but it feels like arceus didn't potray any of those lol. it basically introduced more legends that your character didn't get to see for some reason? You'd think going back to the past your character would be more involved in that stuff that was talked about in the ds games but I guess not

Uh...super totally cool and not nerdy stuff....

Um nothing about the new discovery of Harrapan civilization shipyards at Lothal - the heart of the old south Asian civ.

And how that explains south Asian artifacts and more in cradle Mesopotamia and Egyptian sites and what that means for earlier old world trade, this stories, and back and forth religious perhaps influences too?!

Because it is officially now recognized as THE WORLD'S OLDEST PORT!!!!!

And they found foreign artifacts IN the shipyards too! So back and forth trade as well as obvy like mentioned the fact Indian artifacts showed up in the Persian Gulf coast.

But what's crazy is the fact there's networks of rivers and paths showing people traveled and traded TO Lothal (on their way) and then some from Lothal bought and traded onwards and some continued their journeys from there to Mesopotamia (today Iraq). That is huge!

Um...oh, and uh cars, and how to make a PVC tube snow ball when winter comes so I'm prepared to be the most dominant force on my block. Get rekt!

...also the history of sapphic pirates.

Oh, map representation of the water was from Nal Sarova and all the way up from Ahmedabad for how people could get to Lothal -- for some the boat trip was only two days on a boat with a little humped thatched roof over it.

Two days of river going comfortably and you could be at a trade epicenter (water NYC) then from there outward into the wider world to trade with other cradle civilizations. Idk if you get how fucking huge that is for a trader. Think about the stories traded back and forth, superstitions, myths, folktales, lives, and of course they money, goods, information. Learned people would travel ABSOLUTELY for the sake of knowledge and the new.

South Asia was home to the world's oldest residential university. Most of the cradle civilizations were more advanced than many give them credit for because they had built up the wealth/resources at the time to invest back into the collection and pursuit of knowledge so higher level learning through schools of various sorts and private tutelage and having just people dedicated to its pursuits (and libraries of course) all existed and could be funded/possible.

The old world was FAR more interconnected than people realize.

But this is freaking super duper cool.

The Silk Road maritime routes were absolutely documented. But that is a far way away from this period in time.
