He didn't get it though, so he just said "NaNi?!"
Then she ripped it in half and said, “Never mind, it’s tearable.”
I feel like I’ve succeeded as a dad.
Today Creative Assembly posted Bartering, bronze, and battles: Troy and the bronze age and reading it some parts of it made me pretty mad. Hi, I am Bitmarck and I study history and classical archaeology at the Free University Berlin and being passionate about my sciences, as well as being a insufferable know it all and absolute stickler, I just have to complain about some points made in this article. While it is mainly about the Mycenaean Palace period, some of these fall into the realm of classical archaeology proper, which spans the geometric, archaic, classic and hellenistic periods as far as greece in concerned (later finds are considered part of the roman imperial periods.)
>In contrast, the Late Bronze Age Mycenaeans had rather crude art, and cruder still citadels with cyclopean walls instead of open agorae.
The so called “Dame de Mycènes is considered part of what is called “late mycenaean period” or mycenaean palace period. My contentions about the word ‘crude’ as this is not usually used in contemporary scientific texts aside, would you call this crude? It shows a detailed hairdo, complex clothing, details of jewelry and even fingernails. Of course it makes little attempt at presenting a naturalistic image of a woman, but rather a stylised image, as you can tell by the intricate swirls that make up the ear. La Dame is probably one of the most well known examples of fine mycenaean art and only one google image search away, but I guess they decided to take the krater of a showing a few warriors, but this was (probably) made just before the so called Dark Ages hit hard, but the “House of the Warrior Vase” is about a century younger than La Dame, when the palaces were cast down and we draw a near complete blank on what happened.
This is a cyclopean wall, certainly from the 6th century BC, but the principle didn’t change. The blocks are only given their final shape during the fitting, making for a very strong wall, that’s more resistant to impact than a cuboid wall, if more time intensive to make. Nevertheless, calling it ‘crude’ is just a bit absurd.

I’m Chris Gerrard, a professor of archaeology at Durham University (UK). I work on lots of different things like the archaeology of natural disasters (earthquakes and tsunamis) and direct big-scale excavations at the bishop’s palace at Auckland Castle (County Durham), Shapwick village (Somerset – with Mick Aston from TV’s Time Team) and at Clarendon royal palace (Wiltshire). I’ve dug quite a bit in Spain and Portugal too. I tend to work at the edges of my subject where it touches on history, architecture, geography and earth sciences but basically I’m interested in people and in daily life in the past, where and how people lived. I am an ‘academic’, I suppose, but I am committed to public history and to communicating research to the widest possible audience.
Most recently I’ve been fortunate to be involved in an extraordinary project in which two mass burials were found here in Durham in 2013. This video will give you a flavour:
Over the next two years a complex jigsaw of evidence was pierced together by a team of archaeologists to establish their identity. Today we know them to be some of the Scottish prisoners who died in the autumn of 1650 in Durham Cathedral and Castle following the battle of Dunbar on the south-east coast of Scotland. This was one of the key engagements of the War of the Three Kingdoms (or Civil Wars). Using the latest techniques of skeleton science we tried to give back a voice to these men through an understanding of their childhood and later lives. Archaeological and historical evidence allows us to reconstruct with vivid accuracy how and why these men vanished off the historical radar.
Since this discovery, we have been tracing what became of the survivors. On a journey which has led me to clues in France, Barbados, Maryland (USA), Virginia (USA), Massachusetts (USA) and Maine (USA) as well as places in the UK including the Cambridgeshire Fens, North/South Shields, Newcastle, the coal mines of County Durham. We know most about those who left for New England and their descendants, among them actors John Cryer and Kate Upton - among 400,000 others who are passionate about their ancestry. We’ve been lucky enough to win
... keep reading on reddit ➡Frequenters of this subreddit might have noticed something in the last week or two. Lots of people are struggling with the game cache. I made a post a couple of days ago, about how the cache refuses to download for my friend. After that, I've seen an increasing amount of these posts.
There's always been problems with the client, but something has been up lately. Either there's something wrong with the client itself, or Jagex's download servers. This is a problem that needs attention and fixing, as it's annoying to old players returning, new players, and people just trying to re-install the game.
You really shouldn't have to search through pages and pages and pages of tech support, various fixes, people's suggestions for fixing it - just to make the game run properly. Any of the usual fixes on the support page didn't even work for this problem. It needs a fix, as soon as possible.
For those struggling with this problem and requiring a quick fix, the only way me and my friend found to fix this, was for me to send him my already downloaded cache.
I've been on a bit of an Egyptology kick lately (it's kinda my thing, so like a dog returns to his vomit, I return to Egypt) and I'm wondering about a couple of things. First of all, I have trouble figuring out where the biblical events fit in with the timeline, and how we rectify problems in the timeline.
I know a lot of people link the Hyksos to the Hebrews before the Exodus these days, and they try to bash the timeline a bit to make the Exodus about 1500BC, but I don't think I've ever had it all comprehensively laid out for me to get a big picture.
I don't want to give jagex any more MTX ideas but I've never even considered buying any of the cosmetics purely because of how mediocre the character models look.

The Archaeological Fantasies podcast https://archyfantasies.com/feed/podcast/ is done by an American graduate student studying American archaeology, and one of her professors, an archaeologist as well.
These people have nothing to do with the Mormon church and don't appear to have any bone to pick with Mormons, but so many things they mention relate directly to things the Mormons beleive.
I recommend starting at episode one and working up from there. Here are some things I've learned so far:
-the idea that lost tribes of Israel lived in ancient America was a widespread myth in Joseph Smiths area at the time.
-the idea that native people could not have built the pyramids and earthworks found in Northeastern America was a commonly held (racist) beleif in that time and place.
-there was a whole cottage industry in Joseph Smith's time around creating fake artifacts that "proved" these theories, pretending to have found them buried, and then pretending to translate them
-it is perfectly clear and 100% proven that there were no European or middle Eastern people in America before Columbus (except the tiny viking settlement in Newfoundland). This is not debated. This is not controversial. This is established scientific fact. There is no "maybe we'll find evidence later". This question is settled without a doubt
Why
But then I screwed up.
Some questions to satisfy my curiosity and impatience:
-
will mqc get new reqs with arch?
-
if so, will we get a grace period to use those sweet sweet teleports?
-
what arch level do we (roughly) need to get mqc back? I'm assuming access to the last site but any additional reqs?
-
will we get heavy rng reqs?
I'm getting 120 eventually anyway but curious how hard it will be compared to dg and other reqs.
I made a post in this sub about a month ago detailing my concern about asking for a $4 raise a s a lab tech. Well, turns out I have a lot more to be concerned about than just $4. After I asked my boss for a raise, he told me I would have to change my status from a student employee to a research assistant, and fill out an application. I graduated one year ago from the university I work at.
After I filled out my application, in which I suggested a raise to $16 per hour, I let my boss know I turned it in. He told me that the best they could do was $14.
Fast forward two weeks, and I overhear my lab manager (different person from the boss) telling a student employee who is about to graduate that he is only allowed to work as a student one term after he graduates, and that his status should be changed after that. I got her attention and informed her that I had been a student employee for the past year. She got very serious and told me that needed to change, and it was essentially “inequitable”, and thanked me for bringing it to her attention. Only after she said that did I realize how bad this situation was. I went online to the university’s student employee policies and guidelines and found that had I been a student for the past year, I should have been making $.30 more per hour than I had been...that adds up to about $300, going off the hours I made last year.
But that is only if I had been a student over the past year, and I wasn’t. I took this info to my manager and she showed me the wage rates for other lab techs, and they were all over the place. A male student employee, who had been working at the labs for less than a year than me, who does less difficult work, and just graduated a month ago, is being paid a full dollar more (@ $13.50) than I am. So had I been paid like my male coworker this past year, I would have been making a lot more and they owe me that back pay. Had I been paid as a research assistant (as I should have been), then they would owe me around $2k from this past year, as well as vacation days that contracted employees accrue.
I also found out from the university’s policies that when I started at the labs, I should have been given a formal position description, and they should have gotten a copy of my resume (I transferred from another department so I just assumed they had it already). They also never informed me that my employment status should have changed once I graduated.
So my manager had a meeting with the business manager

I love this tool - Using this map you can see any registered historical landmarks or locations in the country - ranging from Victorian mills to iron age hill forts. The surveys and records for most of the sites are all digitized so you can delve deeper and find out some fascinating history about your local area.
You will probably be shocked at how many Rath's (hill forts) and ruins are scattered around the countryside and towns. We really are living right on top of the past.
By now, many of the people who frequent this subreddit have probably seen the leak which mentioned a new upcoming skill among other things which have checked out thus far. I became intrigued at the idea, and decided to do some digging to see what clues Jagex have provided in the past to see what this new skill might look like. I have found what I believe to be incontrovertible evidence that Archaology is coming, and the upshot is even if i'm wrong, I'm still right. We'll get to that.
After a couple quick google searches about new RS3 skills, I found a survey that was pushed to some players in September 2018. https://imgur.com/a/ifH1PYz Shoutout to /u/holydamned for capturing these images!
Jump to "Skill D", and give that a quick read-through. Highlights, with commentary:
- What if we gained the ability to bring skeletons back to life
- I don't think it's a reach to imagine the new slayer mobs (plants & animals are both part of archaeological findings), big game hunter, and boss require finding the bones/remnants via expedition to bring them suckers back to life
- Restore Artifacts
- This sounds an awful lot like the Totems that have the nice game-wide effects...
- Return pages to books that have long since turned to dust
- Surge codices, which are confirmed to be received page-by-page, anyone?
- Delve beneath the ground to find areas lost to time and use your magic to make it good as new
- Become a master and return to Fossil Island (lol) where a race of long-dead dinosaur-like creatures lie buried in the ground...
- And finally, jumping ahead to the final image - "your finds will be collected and tracked, and they will both be moneymaking and beneficial to your other skills"...
Now, we also know there is a "base camp". From where do archaeological expeditions begin, and where to archaeological expeditions do the fine-tune cleaning & categorization of findings? Base camp.
We've been told the agility course takes 6 minutes to traverse, and is also one of the best ways to get around the island, with the ability to get on and off the course as you go. I don't think it's a leap of faith to assume we're hopping around some ruins, and between various archaeological dig-sites, working to unlock the flora, fauna, and artefacts found in the various regions of the island.
I prefaced the title with "Probably", and I mentioned that even if i'm wrong, i'm still right (such a snob). Why? Well, the
