I really love the theory about Venus figurines being self portraits drawn from the sculptor’s point of view; I’m not sure how much credence the theory holds but I enjoy it!! An homage to those inspired artists

The meme is funny but apropos. I have long felt a spiritual level of reverence for curvaceousness and when it is specifically manifest in a partner... she becomes a vessel of the divine. There is a primal magic to the succulent abundance of softness in a round, wide, heavy woman. A raw physicality, a gravity, a magnetism that speaks to something feral in our bones and blood, something that thrived in our hearts and minds thousands of years before civilization reared its ugly head. The evidence is there, carved from stone and wood and bone, etched into rocks stained with sacredness. You think this is something new? It's fucking ancient and it will not be denied.

Time Travel Question 37: Ancient History XVII and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

I imagined a Toy Story x Night at the Museum crossover where Barbie met the Venus of Willendorf statue and it's like. They're both unrealistic standards of feminine beauty from opposite ends of the human timescale. But I don't think they would think of themselves that way. I think they would bond over both having tiny teeny pointy feet

Like a personal Venus

Obiyukibingo, this time it’s Archaeology AU 😂 I wasn’t feeling it too much, but figured this would be exactly the sort of mind trap Obi would fall into~

I've posted about several of these. Not sure how I missed the others, but there you go. I like top 10 lists - every single one is different, so it's always a wide array of stuff to read about and learn.
