Robert Eggers explains why he is directing a new ‘ROMEO & JULIET’ movie: “After ‘Werwulf’ I was writing another horror movie and it got so dark again that I was like, ‘I need a break,’ so I’ll just do something about 2 teenagers killing themselves.”

What’s the weirdest hill you’ll die on? Not politics. Not morality. Not anything serious. I mean the completely unnecessary opinion you’re willing to defend with your entire chest. I want the petty stuff.

🚨 NEW - Pyramids in Ghuizou China - for decades , the People in this region of China were Gaslit by the Authorities saying these are Natural Formations. My verdict is that they are NOT Natural formations , but the area should be surveyed and escavated properly. I'm 98% sure that these are NOT natural formations. You don't need to be an archeologist to see it.

Since Jimmy Corsetti is shocked, shocked, that scoundrels dare accuse him of antisemitism and his noble defender, that paragon of integrity, Dan the DeDunker insists that it isn’t like Jimmy posts Nazi bait, which presumably Dan might object to, I thought I, known scoundrel,

Metallic object over Vernon BC. #uap

The age thing is irrelevant but I kinda agree that the Woodblock art style of Clone Wars has always rubbed me wrong. I get it that George Lucas loved those old school puppet serials and that was the basis, but I sat through every season of TCW wishing it looked better

Did the Ancient Builders of Peru Really Melt Stone? 🤯 The giant stone walls of Saksaywaman in Peru have puzzled historians, engineers, and curious minds for generations. Some of these enormous blocks weigh over 100 tons, yet they fit together so perfectly that not even a sheet of paper can slide between them. Even more surprising, no mortar was used to hold them in place. This incredible precision has inspired one of the most fascinating mysteries in ancient history. Could the builders have known a way to soften or even “melt” stone before shaping it? Some researchers point to unusual, glass-like surfaces on certain stones, while others suggest that a lost plant-based substance may have temporarily softened the rock. There is no scientific proof that these ideas are true, but they continue to fuel endless debate and curiosity. Most archaeologists believe the stones were carefully carved, shaped, and polished using remarkable skill, patience, and simple tools over many years. Yet one question remains: how did ancient builders achieve such astonishing accuracy with technology that seems so limited by today’s standards? Whether the answer is extraordinary craftsmanship, a forgotten building technique, or something we have not yet discovered, Saksaywaman reminds us that the ancient world still holds secrets waiting to be uncovered. Every massive stone invites us to ask the same question: What did our ancestors know that we have yet to fully understand? 🗿 What do you think—was it incredible human skill, a lost construction technique, or something even more mysterious? Share your thoughts below.

No archaeological excavation of the Richat has been published. No ground survey looking for worked stone. A place matching a famous description in several particulars has never had the one test that would end the debate. What do you think we would find if we dug?

The word cataclysm itself carries the memory of catastrophic flooding. It derives from the Greek cataclysmos, their term for the great deluge that reshaped the ancient world. In Greek mythology, Deucalion received forewarning from Zeus about an approaching flood and built an ark to survive, accompanied by his wife Pyra. The parallels to the biblical flood narrative are undeniable, yet the Greek account preserves details the Hebrew version omits, including the name of the survivor's wife. These aren't just stories. They're cultural memories of real events, preserved in different traditions across the Mediterranean world. When multiple civilizations independently record catastrophic flooding, separated by geography but united in their core details, the question becomes not whether such events occurred, but when and how many times.

The Egyptians drew almost everything. Brick making, fishing, brewing, harvest, cattle counts, boat building. There is no wall scene of anyone building the Giza Pyramids.
