the one thing no one discussing about archaeology is the amount of times you will cry.

oh studying prehistory? bam family burial.

oh studying art history/ material culture? bam the presentation of a deep love between a couple forced apart by their society.

studying ancient literature? LITERALLY THE WORST OF ALL THERES SO MANY EMOTIONS.

there are so many times I have cried over these ancient societies, many have sent me into existential crises, yet I will never stop
