The dude from Bright Insight is acting like the decision to leave the full excavation of Gobekli Tepe for future generations is part of some conspiracy by Big Archaeology or something.

No, you absolute walnut, that's common practice in modern archaeology. You would know that if you were more than a pseudo-scientific hack.

What You MUST Know about Lost Ancient Civilizations | by Bright Insight

When I tell you I was close to tears man.

I don’t share much here but I needed to share THIS.

I’ve loved ancient civilizations for the longest time. Like many I have always had a fascination for Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Mesoamerica. For a long while I wanted to become an archeologist just so I could have the opportunity to study these civilizations in person.

I didn’t end up going for it, instead I’m going for something more art related, but my love for the ancient has not dwindled in the slightest. As part of my current art curriculum, I have to take Art history and when I tell you that the first class I took (which focused more on ancient civilization’s and their art) was one of my favorites, never before have I’ve been so excited to attend a class before. (And I’m one of those crazy people who LOVED going to school. Still do, somehow. Yes even I scare myself.) To some extent, I was kinda fulfilling the archeologist dream I’ve had.

Now, I’m not sure how many of you are aware, but the current state of archeology is…not great. I mean, it hasn’t been great for…decades (maybe ever), but now in days it’s…I don’t want to say it’s worse but it’s so clear that majority of archeology today is done for money (like many things) and that there is rarely any respect for ancient sites. It’s not about seeking out truth or trying to preserve history, it’s about exploiting these sites.

Many now in days think they know history. Many think they know everything. When really, sites like Gobekli Tepe show us that is not the case. We know nothing. No one knows. There are so many questions regarding human history as a whole and yet people ignore sites like these because it goes against the narrative they have come up. To keep up the narrative they have built up, they decide to cover up whatever goes against it.

This whole situation reminds me of something that my second class of art history highlighted: the conquerors build on top of temples, castles, structures, anything that is of significant value for the people of the place they conquer to send out a message of power. By building on top of it, they are saying that they are above that civilization. It’s all about power.

As an ancient civilization enthusiast, this video truly hurt me. The blatant disrespect these people have given to this site is just disgusting and heartbreaking.

To every pokemon character: Oh no! A trickster god has announced that it's going to change your species. It's far too powerful to stop it from doing this. However, it's allowing you to choose which species you're going to change to, with the caveat that Transform won't work when you use it. Which species do you change to, and why?

Myu: I think that braixens have such cute fur, and they're great spellcasters... My mother would have never wanted to hear it, though!

Atticus: I'm a fan of being soft and not doin' much, and that seems like stuff drampas do. And I like being a dragon, despite the everything else. Topaz'd like it.

Topaz: I wanna be a big scary monster!!

Clara: Tch. Well, if I must choose... I am not keen on being bothered, and so being a salamence is the easiest way to achieve that, as far as strangers should be concerned. All of the nearby villages were afraid of my father, and they were right to be.

Gamma: Kadabra. I chose that at random. Haha, why not, anyway? Not like I got many other ideas! At least they're good with psychic stuff and holding lots of tools.

Opal: I've always thought ice-types were beautiful, darling. As weavile, I think I would rather like holding onto the dark-type.

Matt: Ah... Perhaps I could be a dubwool t' fit in with the people in my old village better. Nothin' wrong with bein' a raichu, of course; in fact, I don't wish fer another life. But I respect dubwools very highly.

Caroline: I don't want to change. Nidoqueen.

Marie: Fighting-types are awesome, and I'm already good at punching, so I'll be even better.

Sandy: Oh, umm, I said before that I'd be like my character, Sapphire! She's a celebi, and she's pink, and she has healing powers.

Dr. Steele: I would certainly not mind becoming a tinkaton. The way they swing around those heavy hammers with ease is enviable.

Dr. Charkoal: I will become a mawile. So that I may show Dr. Steele was it is like to be bitten.

If they ever make a live-action Atlantis: the Lost Empire, Jimmy Corsetti needs to have a cameo.

At least he could see there was a problem. No one else had ever seen that before.
