Any excuse to post Anthropology Days. It's a little lesson in history.

What a pretentious comment. “No journalists should ever be allowed to talk about horrific acts of oppression we should all just forget it and move on” like wtf

You've ended up in r/History, our purpose is to discuss past events about things that already happened. Which is why there's an article about things from the past discussed here.

Its not a puzzle. They took it apart. They know how to put it back together!

Everybody interested in this topic needs to read John Rechy's The Sexual Outlaw.

Since I’m not sure I can post it I will ask here

There’s been a new ai that surfaced recently which allows people to talk to historical figures. It’s apparently has controversial figures such as Himmler and Eichman available. While in principle it doesn’t seem like a bad idea the conversation seem to be stirred towards apologia and sometimes bordering on conspiracy. It feels like the type of thing where historians will be left trying to untangle all the misconceptions created. I would like to know however what y’all think regarding this new development

If you've got a newer Pro model iPhone, a drone and some gaffa tape then you could always DIY it. I guess.

It is well documented the homosexuals are and were monitored on BYU campus and beyond.

"Gays have in the past complained of harassment from BYU Security in Salt Lake City and even in areas as far away as St. George. Mike, a gay returned missionary said, “I’ve seen BYU Security officers in Salt Lake City at the cruise areas driving past lines of cars leaning out the window taking pictures of not only the license and cars, but of the passengers inside of them also.”"

I don't know that these practices continued in the 90s, when I was there, but scrupulous self and peer policing was and remains standard practice: "You never know when they’re surveilling you, so what happens is, people surveilled themselves more ferociously and effectively than they ever would even if [BYU] had armed guards [enforcing the code].”

There was also entrapment, or at least coerced exposure of gay friends, by people undergoing forced conversion therapy at BYU.--something the then-president recently denied happened on his watch.

Please someone tell me how the pilgrim/puritan women dealt with hot summers. Were they allowed to change clothes? Take off their top layer? How did they cope? There’s like nothing I can find to answer this specific question at first glance

I can't give you anymore details myself, as I only read about it happening. Here is an article about it: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/amateur-archaeologists-make-discoveries-during-lockdown-180974886/

Pales in complexity and size to Chinese ships centuries older

EDIT: lol mad cause Zheng He's treasure ship dwarfed anything that Europe made despite being 100 years older?

Would you consider yourself a buff on the subject of said ships?

After watching a few more videos on about this boat, I don't think that the "complexity of the puzzle" is actually slowing them down. It's preserving the pieces that takes so long.

Also, here's the source for the 3D models they used. I think.

Check out the video if you want a better look at what the ship was like when it was fully assembled.
