25th April 1848

HMShips Terror and Erebus were deserted on the 22nd April 5 leagues NNW of this having been beset since 12th Sept 1846.

The officers and crews consisting of 105 souls under the command of Captain F. R. M. Crozier landed here — in Lat. 69°37’42’’ Long. 98°41’

This paper was found by Lt. Irving under the cairn supposed to have been built by Sir James Ross in 1831 — 4 miles to the Northward — where it had been deposited by the late Commander Gore in May June 1847.

Sir James Ross’ pillar has not however been found and the paper has been transferred to this position which is that in which Sir J. Ross’ pillar was erected.

Sir John Franklin died on the 11th of June 1847 and the total loss by deaths in the Expedition has been to this date 9 officers and 15 men.

How the Amazon River got its name

Homer’s epic tales speak of a fierce tribe of large, powerful female warriors who dwelled near the Caucasus Mountains in the days before the Trojan War. They were said to have stood against the invading Greeks until their queen, Penthesilea was killed by Achilles. They were called Ἀμαζόνες  - Amazons, derived from the Greek words ἀμαζός - breastless, from the belief each warrior had her right breats removed tp facilitate shooting of bow and arrow. There are, however, other theories as to the origin of the word, for the Amazons were often depicted with both breasts, which again calls this myth into question, but that is another topic.

The Amazon River (x)

Fast forward to 1541 when the Spanish seafarer Orellana, while exploring a large river in South America, was attacked by a groupe of natives whose women fought as fiercely as the men.Thinking of the powerful women of antiquity, he named them Amazons, and because they lived by this river, he named the river Amazon.

theoretically if i were to get into kayaking (just watching not doing) what would i need to know?

um. so outside of the olympics, kayaking races are VERY hard to access. and kayaking races in the olympics are all slolam courses so they’re a bit different… by in large these are in-person spectator events ! a lot of past years for the green race are on youtube and i would recommend starting with those, they are very fun! and then id go for videos of the north fork championship ! if you’re asking about terms lemme know !!

the akrotiri excavations just make me crazy to begin with. like they didn't know it was there and spyridon marinatos just picked the site and within hours they had hit a town? for a while they tried excavating by tunneling through the volcanic debris into the still-standing buildings? most of the major fresco finds are in storage in the basement of the prehistoric thera museum because they don't have space to display them but also don't want to send them to be displayed in athens? only a tiny section of what's known to be a very large town has been excavated and there are no plans or funding to excavate further? marinatos died and is buried on site?

Here at Epcot, you can find some audio-animatronic prairie animals who are Living with the Land! Supposedly, these buffalo and prairie dog figures were originally created for Western River Expedition- a never built attraction at the Magic Kingdom!

My Go-To Content

My go-to video content is all things historical, paranormal, and biological. If someone were to look at my video watch list they would notice I am a big lover of discovery. A lot of the videos I watch are produced by official TV channels such as Travel Channel, the History Channel, and Animal Planet and a lot of videos are factually based. I don't watch these videos as much for the entertainment aspect but for my interest in learning historical accounts. Except for clips of say Ghost Adventures most of the content I watch is evidence-based. So being: Mysteries at the Museum, Expedition Unknown, Air Crash Investigation, America Unearthed, Men Who Built America, and River Monsters.

On a seperate note

Have Rivers complaining in tagalog

(translation: Hai...I have so much to do again. I wanna go to sleep already! Fuck! [note: puta in Filipino culture is more or less just a catch-all type swear so it can mean bitch, fuck, whore, etc.])

the internet is like a vast sea and I sail along in my little boat, avoiding treacherous rocks (the infamous bots) and looking for peaceful secluded islands (images of rivers and cottages)
