#3500BC

[lineffability]

I love how aziraphale and crowley always care about humanity as a concept, but not always about actual individual humans quite as much, or not unless they receive a reminder. it's different when it's someone you know isn't it. it makes sense, getting caught up in the immortality of it all, the distance between your eternal life and their fleeting ones. no need getting attached, they'll be gone anyways. okay, this one was nice. we might have been sth like friends. wanted to check in with them, but they're dead now. been sixty years, oops. okay, we played with those humans like dolls and accidentally got attached. yeah, sorry bout that. yeah, you better forget about all that. never happened. but it did. it did happen and it has informed who they are and it becomes a part of them, that one singular human, back in 3500BC or or 41AD or 1876, who did that one singular wonderful thing, because they could and they were alive. when they're not careful enough, the angel and the demon, they care so much.

watching quelaags videos and elden ring almost feels like a reference or homage to humanitys existence and civilizations with how. many. inspirations, refrences, and parallels there in the game. whether its the fingerprint stone shield referencing a stone tablet made around 3500BC, or the nox cities being very common-era gothic, tablets referencing babylon, the fire giants plate looking just like nordic bronze age metalwork. characters like goldmask parallelling historical figures or movements in the ancient roman church, theres honestly just so much. marika and radagons idealogies mirroring religious splits from fundamanlitalism etc etc

it feels like every bit of this games aesthetics and characters is taking so much and throwing them together

Cursed/ haunted objects

Annabel doll:

This doll had been bought as a birthday gift from an antique shop by a mother unknowing of it's origins. Soon after it was brought into the house, the family noticed strange things begin to happen surrounding the doll. With the help of well known physic investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, it was found out the that the doll was possessed, the previous owner being Annabel Higgins a 7-year-old girl who had been murdered. After that discovery, the doll was taken by the Warrens and put in their Occult museum.

Basano vase:

This silver vase made in 15th century Italy was given to a bride on the eve of her wedding as a present. What happened next was tragic as she was shortly found murdered that night with the vase in her hands. Since then, it's been passed down her family line with the similar fates occurring to anyone who had position of it. After many deaths that followed hers, the curse fell dormant as the helpless family begged the police to take the object away.

Women form Lemb statue:

These statues found in 1887 Lemb, Cyprus are curious artifacts carved out of limestone allegedly dating back to 3500BC. Before getting donated to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, it's believed that these statues had been owned by at least four different families that had all died within a few years after obtaining the statue with the last remaining of members the family giving the statues to the museum. Even in the museum the statues 'kill streak' didn't end as a curator in the museum had handled them and allegedly died within a year.

Man was a brewer before he was a baker. Some believe that brewing was the impetus behind domestication of grains.. which made possible. living in cities.. which made possible imperialism, police, and slavery, which in turn led to writing which led to, well, we all know: our present dilemma. The early Romans were temperate drinkers. Women were completely forbidden to drink on the grounds that it led to lust and adultery. In late Roman history, both sexes seemed to have embraced excess in wine for exactly the same reasons. And Li Po also died drunk. He tried to embrace a moon in the Yellow River. Earliest known brewery dates back to a 3500BC Sumerian trading post along the Silk Road. The Scythian philosopher Anacharsis visited Athens in 600BC and was repelled by the behavior he witnessed. When asked how to avoid excess in wine, Anacharsis advised observing those who did not. The Scythians themselves had no wine. Aqua vitae, the water of life. Alcohol, the finest essence. Discovered in Baghdad alongside alchemy and algebra.

Glassware Tasks

The origin of glass is historically unknown however it said that glass making began around 4000 years ago with romans trading it with Phoenician sailors which were some of the greatest traders at the time. The oldest know glass is known as obsidian which is black volcanic glass which the earliest these dates to is 3500BC. It was used for all sorts of uses including weapons and decretive objects. From a more contemporary approach glass is mainly used for ergonomic purposes and aesthetics ie use of windows (everday life) alongside many others such as the glass in camera lens or art and sculpture.

 Glass is made through certain process of which require materials of which being silica sand, sodium carbonate limestone and on the odd occasion recycled glass. This is then thrown into furnace which it begins to melt at 1500 degrees which in turn changes the raw material into molten glass. The molten glass would be placed into moulds (the shape which is desired) and then is placed into something known as annealing chest which allows the glass to settle and form.

History of Glass

HISTORY

The very first glass known to stone age people which was used for making weapons and decorative objects, was obsidian, black volcanic glass.

The earliest man-made created glass dates back to around 3500BC, with finds in Egypt and Eastern Mesopotamia. Discovery of glassblowing around 1st century BC was a breakthrough in glass making.

It is believed that glassmaking was discovered 4,000 years ago, or more, in Mesopotamia. The Roman historian Pliny attributed the origin of glassmaking to Phoenician sailors.

 INVENTION

Glass was first made in the ancient world, but little is known about man’s first efforts to make glass. Amulets and solid beads were made in Mesopotamia as far back as 2500BC.

Later, glass making was further developed in Egypt around 1500BC.

During 15th century Venetian glass blower, Angelo Barovier, crated cristallo, a nearly colourless, transparent glass. By the late 1500’s, many Venetians went to northern Europe seeking better life where they established factories and brought the art of Venetian glassblowing.

MANUFACTURING

In the early 1800’s, there was a great demand for window glass which was called crown glass. In the 1820s, the age of blowing individual bottles, glasses and flasks was ended by the invention of a hand-operated machine. In the 1870s, the first semi-automatic bottle machine was introduced.

After 1890, new development and manufacture of glass increased rapidly. Machinery has been developed for precise, continuous manufacture of a host of products. In 1902, Irving W. Colburn invented the sheet glass drawing machine which made possible the mass production of window glass.

 HOW GLASS HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS:

Modern development:

Modern glass production is based on the float glass method. With the right glass-making information, the industry evolved in a very short time. The last few years are known as the pinnacle of glass history.

1900’s development

The main glass producing method in the 1900s was the “Sheet Glass Method”. In this method, ribbons of glass drew between the cooled rollers from a tank furnace. It was somewhat an advanced method but still imperfect.

2000’s development:

In the 2000s, the glass industry revolutionized. The credits go to the introduction of the “Float Glass Process”. In 1959, the float glass method was invented. The Float Glass Method changed the course of glass history.

This process was developed when manufacturers melt the glass at a very high temperature. It is then poured onto a large shallow bath of molten metal to cool off. The molten glass spreads on the flat surface and forms sheets. This method is inexpensive and viable as compared to all other previous methods. So it quickly became popular among the manufacturers. This method is still in-use in glass production today. More than 90 percent of the world’s glass is made through this float glass method.

Murano glass chandelier Murano Glass is the name for Venetian Glass objects that were produced in the island of Murano from the late 13th century. Contrary to popular belief, glass was not invented in Murano, although arguably the Murano islands played a vital role in the glassmaking industry for hundreds of years. It is thought that the most ancient examples of glass actually originated from Egypt and Eastern Mesopotamia around 3500BC.

During that time, the tree spread to the Mediterranean container, which includes African shores and Southern Europe. In 2000BC, olives were located inside Egyptian tombs; additionally, that day is when farming started to play a significant duty in the Crete economy.

Olives were a deluxe in Greece and it came to be not just a food item, however was highly considered a charm treatment. olio extravergine d'oliva

Sorts of Oil

Many nations make use of the International Olive Oil Council to define top quality as well as standards; nonetheless, the United States does not abide by these standards. Instead, the USA adheres to the USDA's 1948 Classification System, which includes the complying with high qualities: extra-virgin, virgin, refined, pure, olive pomace, refined olive pomace, and also lite. Please check out the complying with for summaries of the most typical types:

Extra-virgin oil is the highest quality because of its high mineral and vitamin material. In order for olive oil to be taken into consideration extra-virgin, the oil needs to be created by removal techniques which contain no chemicals or hot water, be first cold-pressed, have an acidity degree of less than 1 percent, and have excellent preference.

Virgin olive oil, like extra-virgin, is first-cold pushed as well as produced without chemicals or warm water; nonetheless, virgin oil might have an acidity degree up to 3.3 percent. The taste can differ and the preference is much less light than extra-virgin selections.

Improved olive oil is produced by refining virgin oil. The level of acidity level is above 3.3 percent; the completed product is unappetizing and also the smell is undesirable.

Pure olive oil is a mix of virgin as well as fine-tuned. It has the exact same acidity degree as virgin as well as can endure high warm. The nutritional content is lower than virgin oil, which make it low-cost compared to top quality oils. Pure oil is commonly used as versatile oil.

Light and extra-light are kinds of oils that contrary to the name do not have less calories, however are a mix of fine-tuned oils that are made from the most affordable quality oils developed via chemical handling.

Health Perks

[strawberrymomhat]

I have a lot of thoughts about ancient history and I would like to talk to someone about them

[lady-writes]

I feel like I might be the only nerd who caaaaares, but hey, that what this void is for. So Yeah How Andronika* Became Andromache the Scythian

*Because I know that its technically a typo from where the author changed his mind about the protagonists name, but fuck it I like it so its my HC now 

Basing my guesses of the tiny hints we get out of the comics I more or less settled on this as a cultural path for Andy. I think its a fair assumption that what ever her birth name was is 100% lost to time given the fact that she seems to have chosen to base her extant persona on her time as a Scythian

Andy is born into Dnieper-Donets culture 5000-4200BC.

I’m guessing for the sake of simplicity around Deriivka, since the burials there have the sort of ancestral genetic linkage that spans from 7000 bc to 2700 bc. This technically makes Andy Ukrainian. Andy is born in roughly 4836.

Sredney-Stog 4500-3500BC- Deification

These are the folks who are known for starting the process of domesticating Horses and Andy would have had a hand in that presumably, Also stone axes were a thing so She’s been working with that tool for damn near her entire life. We are still pre Kurgan Burials at this point. The bridge of time between this group and the next is the one that Andy spends as a Warrior God leading her people and given that these are the direct descendent of the culture she was born to, it makes sense that she would feel aligned enough to them to not only fight for them but to lead them. We don’t hear of her doing that ever again after this point 

Yamnaya- 3300-2600BC

Here we start looking as the end of Neolithic cultures towards the first big shift of Andy’s life (apart from the whole immortality thing) metallurgy. Bronze Age baby! This culture is also generally identified as the most likely cultural base for the Proto Indo European Languages, so from this point on, likely until she meets Quynh every language around her will be building off of this base, so its probably less learning a new language and more expanding her vocab.            This is where the kurgans start, and at this point the culture is still working on that horse domestication thing

Poltvaka 2700 2100BC

An outgrowth of the Yamnaya culture, firmly on the Russia side of things. Andy claims the Russians to be partially descended from her people so in general I deferred to that when things diverged. These folks stepped up their production and skill levels with metal and linguistically they are considered to be one of the higher branches on the Indo-Iranian Tree. Another trend in the cultures I leaned towards was picking the ones that spread the best, because I feel like having an immortal warrior among you number would not only be good for morale but once the legends of immortal warriors start flying more folks would probably look to assimilate instead of fight 

Abashevo 2500-1900BC

These guys once again expand on the skills in metalworking and also get around to hitching horses to things for speed, they are early adopters of the chariot. We are firmly in the Proto-Indo- Iranian language group, and these guys are warlike, noticeably so. People are wearing metal decoratively as a social signifier. We start seeing signs of shared culture with the Greeks here too. Given the Greek roots of Andy’s chosen name I think it would be safe to say that Andronika comes into play here 

Andronovo 2000-900BC

This period is really a massive chunk of overlap spread out across a bunch of linguistically distinguishing subgroup but I point it out because the Andronovo culture has a both a hilariously apt name but its an archeological horizon that stretches all the way into Northwestern China at its greatest breadth, and Towards the end of this cultural horizon (in the 1200′s) Quynh dies her first death. Probably a coincidence, but still really fucking cool, that Andy is potentially having sustained contact with proto Asiatic languages and people groups at the time when she starts dreaming of Quynh. Also this means the language barrier between them might not have been too vast!

Srubnaya1800-1200BC

For the history meme geeks playing along at home we are firmly in the time of Ea-Nasir and his shitty copper(1750) Burials are now being done in timber frameworks inside of burial pits under kurgans. Language is firmly Proto-Iranian.  This pocket culture within a culture is relevant specifically because it shows a ton of influence on the Scythian culture, which was one of many to come out of the Andronovo group and when this culture group died it left the Cimmerians and ...

The Scythians 900-200BC- Deification/ Assimilation?

Andronika has become Andromache! The Scythian sub group eventually subsumed and assimilated most of its brother/sister groups from the Andronovo culture as the Scythians spread their territory. This is when Andy was worshipped as a God and there are few options there. There’s Tapati a political guardian, but also a goddess of the home, which may account for why Andy felt so ill suited for the role, The comics also have her refer to herself as a Goddess of War, and the context clues there link that to her formative years as an immortal, before formal worship, and before she decided to walk the earth looking for Quynh. This in a funny was might also account for the fact that Herodotus mentions a war god of the Scythians, literally Scythian Ares, the only god that Scythians practiced physical worship/sacrifice to and the only Scythian God who he uses a Greek name for. Scythian myth also puts a lot of stock in the idea of a First Man or  an ancestor to their Kings and People. Andy may have been seen as a living incarnation of this being esp. considering the apparent genderfluid nature of the priesthood.

The Scythian culture is still largely nomadic, and still living on the steppes but they have contact with Greece Persia India and China. They have distinctive metalworking styles that are being used for art. Scythians are apparently damn good guerilla fighters and possibly developed there own from of writing. The Scythians are another war like people but there’s no telling if Andy chose to have a role in that. I’d think its a pretty safe bet though. Its noted that the engaged at war with almost the entirety of their adult population, including women, and that “no people in Europe or Asia could resist the Scythians without outside aid,” which sounds par for the course.

By the end of the Scythian civilization, Andy is likely long gone. Depending on how long you think it took Andy to find Quynh, it could be anywhere between 1031 bc at the best and 600bc at the worst. By the Time Lykon comes around in roughly 331bc, Andromache has almost certainly decided to stop hanging out with mortals and to just chill out with her wife, wrecking the shit of those who deserve to have their shit WRECKED.

There are also a ton of other cultural groups that Andy may have spent time in or rubbed shoulders with. Hell, if she was as paranoid then about not being recognized as an ageless immortal as she is in canon she was probably bouncing from one culture group to another generationally and that the reason why they all have so many similarities. 4600 years of one woman’s accidental influence.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So yeah that was a today’s rabbit hole. I have the faintest inkling of names i might choose for Andy before Andy so technically I accomplished what I set out to do!
