Egypt is 5000+ years old. We lose where stuff used to be hundreds of years ago. Plus they were trying to hide stuff from grave robbers sometimes

What about the Falkirk Tartan? Thought that one was from something like 200 CE.

I had no idea sheep had some mental horns.

Animal mummies wer eonce so common they were used as freitlizer and fuel

Yeah, but the 2001 model had the updated styling.

Hey man, what did hyenas do to deserve that comparison?

And yeah, Braveheart is hilariously inaccurate in so many ways. You'd think that something called the Battle of Stirling Bridge might have taken place in the vicinity of a bridge, but ol' Mel will sure cure you of that little misconception!

Did they think the afterlife was byob (or byoe)?

I need help remembering the name of some American governemnt agent who studied a Native American tribe during the 1800s

I was talking with a friend about Native American history, and I
remembered there was a guy in the 1800s, I'm pretty sure an agent of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, who was sent out to study a Native American
tribe in Oklahoma (definitely somewhere in the Great Plains). He ended
up fully integrating himself with the tribe though, to such an extent
that he became a warchief, and helped lead a raid on another Native
tribe, which seriously pissed off the Bureau of Indian Affairs as I
think they also had an agent studying that tribe? He ended up having to
go back to the East Coast, but briefly came back to try and help them
fight back against the government breaking up their land for use in
private agriculture (in court of course, not literally fight).

If anyone could help me find this guy's name, that'd be greatly appreciated.

William Wallace was born in 1270, but Mel Gibson was covered in tartan. Braveheart lied to us, man. Also, the main theme for Braveheart was actually played on an Irish oileann pipe and not bagpipes. The primary reason for this is because bagpipes sound like they’re constructed from the larynx of a hyena.

It's a joke, referring to this:

I wonder if the mummification service was by subscription plan, and your animal package was part of the premium

Read about Saqqara or watch the recent documentary about it if you want to see some of the most recent large discoveries. It is likely there are many more significant tombs that have yet to be discovered.

Herodotus had this to say of Egypt in book 2 chapter 67 of his histories
Dead cats are taken away to sacred buildings in the town of Bubastis, where they are embalmed and buried; female dogs are buried by the townsfolk in their own towns in sacred coffins; and the like is done with mongooses. Shrewmice and hawks are taken away to Buto, ibises to the city of Hermes. 2.67.2 There are few bears, and the wolves are little bigger than foxes; both these are buried wherever they are found lying.

Mummy dump birds are the final plague on mankind.

I was building my summer house next to the step pyramids. While the foundation work was going on we ended up discovering this!!

For no reason in whatsoever I just assumed tartans to be much older.
