The Varna Necropolis contains the oldest huge stash of gold in the world, some of the oldest evidence of male hierarchy, and 294 graves filled with stuff that sheds light on an old European society that we know very little about. For some reason, I can't find a book with "Varna Necropolis" in the title on Google Books, except for very obscure ones/ones which mostly reprint online articles about it.
Read about this for the first time a few months ago and have not been able to find many written sources besides Wikipedia. Are they out there?
Ideally, I'd love to see some free academic articles or something of the like.
I'd love to learn more about this culture! Thanks.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
When I was making a video about the amazing Minoan artifact, I expected people to share with me my excitement about this find. I am very glad that we received a real masterpiece of a unique ancient culture. However, I ran into disbelief. People just didn't want to believe that thousands of years ago people could do such small things. Let me remind you that some of the details on the Minoan gem cannot be seen without zooming in.
I had to defend the honor of scientists and the reputation of science and look for examples of such artifacts. In the course of my searches, I remembered the Varna necropolis.
I would like to draw your attention to one fact. People of the Varna culture made beads from carnelian with 32 facets. This is the earliest complex faceting of such a hard mineral in the Eneolithic era (the hardness of the material is 6.5-7 points on the Mohs scale). Also, in the hole in the carnelian bead, a 2x2 mm gold mini-cylinder was found.

Let me remind you that we are talking about the fifth millennium BC.
Therefore, I urge you not to rush to conclusions about the ingenuity of people of the past.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
Pilot on me!!

A play on words.
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
