This is so true. I would tweak what you said slightly…what you need to watch out for is “trying” to be the most brilliant, beautiful, funny etc. It’s a recipe for perpetual unhappiness.

And I'm sure some snacks just didn't preserve in any forms over the years as well.

On YT fall of civilizations, their 9th and 10th podcast are about the fall of the Aztecs. Really good.

I was hoping for the discovery of an ancient Twinkie. We know it’s plausible for one to survive that long.

You ever try to read Middle English from 500 years ago? It’s unreadable. Probably a big issue here.

I would've liked a more detailed breakdown of the phrase that broke the code as well. This article left me wanting more, and not in a good way.

Definitely, the state of trade and agriculture could make or break a war or an alliance for example. I could see it giving valuable context to decisions made by rulers during the time the document was written.

Hahaha, no one has ever thanked me for being a scientist. But I appreciate you appreciating it! Sometimes I actually feel guilty for asking for government grants because some of that money comes out of real people's pockets.
