Does anyone know an Pokémon Ao3 story. I’m trying to find a story that Ash becomes professor kukui teacher’s assistant, after the oak professor we’re talking about his class and how they weren’t doing so good. Does anyone know the name of this?!

MIDDLE EARTH MEME ↳ [3/1] Heroes - Aragorn

Here let it be said that in those days the Heir of Isildur arose in the North, and he took the shards of the sword of Elendil, and in Imladris they were reforged; and he went then to war, a great captain of Men. He was Aragorn son of Arathorn, the nine and thirtieth heir in the right line from Isildur, and yet more like to Elendil than any before him. (insp)

In Slavic mythology, there is a form of nymph which lies somewhere between a ghost and a fairy.  The Wilas (pronounced viwa and also called Vili or Vilas) are fair-haired female creatures who have died but remain trapped between this world and the next.  Mysterious beings similar in appearance to the European tales of fairies, they are the lost women who died unbaptized or the betrothed ones whose lives ended before marriage.  Thus, unlike the European fairies, the mythological Wilas are not born as spirits of nature but rather become them with death, gaining power over the winds in lieu of the lives they would have led.

The only thing we really know for certain about Kiya is her name, written in the forms kiya, kiw, kia, kaia, and that she was a wife of Akhenaten titled The Great Beloved Wife . Much information about Kiya was lost over time and nowadays information about her is mixed with the biographies of Nefertiti and other women of Amarna, leading to an air of mystery about who Kiya really was.

Wow, who was this woman? Excavators in Romania have discovered a prehistoric female’s grave dated over 6000 years old. What has caused excitement is that it was filled with countless gold rings, a real novelty for the era when gold had only just been discovered.

At its height, the harem of Imperial China reached a staggering 20,000 women within the Forbidden City. And at times, the number of eunuchs (castrated men) serving the emperor and his harem reached an eye-opening 100,000. Many concubines met a sad fate when their emperor died. They were sacrificed, often buried alive, to join their master in the afterlife.

Eridu may not be much to look at today, but there is a wealth of history behind it. It was the Sumerian garden of Eden, the first city of the ancient civilization.

Climate change has given us countless new artifacts, all over the world, as glaciers melt and lakes evaporate, but ruins are falling apart faster, and artifacts perish too.

King Tutankhamun's Golden Mask

The burial mask of Tutankhamun was probably not created for the Boy King, but a female relative. The mask is made of gold, lapis, clay, quartz, glass, feldspar, and obsidian.

William the Conqueror’s bloated body burst at his funeral, after days of neglect for the unloved king’s corpse, causing the most grotesque funeral scene ever. How did the situation deteriorate to this point?
