Aren't the horses getting tired?

Remember that 6 year old is a god and his dad was a god too - surely that makes him more legitimate than some "elected" politician! /s

Just want to point out that this particular study uses skeletal evidence, the genetic evidence supporting a domestic lineage of horses was previously known

It's from the 6,000 year old Giza gift shop

I still think that it was originally all some stud horse's idea, take along a monkey on his back to groom him and trim his hooves. Also that could be a good way to escape a predator, buck off the rider and run away while they get eaten alive. Probably why horses think that they are smarter than the people riding them.

Imagine all the stuff still under sand that we don't even know about.. It blows my mind to think of the lost cities below the sand

> Ptolemy V was 6 when he became pharaoh after Ptolemy IV died under suspicious circumstances. Kingdom was led by unpopular regents

All the news about modern politics usually makes me lose hope for humanity, but reading about this and the reminder that most of us aren’t in a society ruled by a 6-year-old who’s acting as a puppet for a cabal of power hungry regents is a refreshing perspective.

So I guess humans never rode horses 5200 years ago. #science

It's an interesting way to use genetics to confirm what has been hinted by the linguistic evidence from Proto-Indo-European scholarship. In the Indo-European languages, some of the most conserved words across much of the language family have to do with horses and chariots, with cognates for horse, axle, wheel and related words to be found throughout the family. The Yamnaya are closely associated with the Proto-Indo-Europeans, and the Pontic-Caspian Steppe is often viewed as one of the more probable locations for the Proto-Indo-European urheimat.

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks!

It's worded incorectly, he extended Roman rule IN North Africa, not INTO North Africa. (He annexed Mauretania)

Am I misreading this? The Romans had been in North Africa since the Punic Wars. Literally the most famous era of Roman history ends with dominion over Egypt years before Claudius.

Whatcrebels are we talking about here? Very few people who actively opposed the nazis actually survived. I don't know of any who were killed after the surrender. Also, denazification was quite far from perfect and a lot of former nazis (and people who more or less willingly supported the nazi regime in some way) managed to rather seamlessly go 8ver into the FRG, but I don't think anyone knowingly utilised former SS as "peace keepers of the provisional government".

One of the first words was “mansplaining” so I stopped reading.
