Actual image of me playing echoes of wisdom
It's a great intro guys
stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.
I always quote Flynn Rider everytime I go past one – they just can't get her nose right
Happy Echoes of Wisdom release day!
The wanted poster is hilarious. I can’t wait to get my copy!

FAR RIGHT RIOTS
REBLOG THIS PLEASE!!
shit is bad in the UK but obviously it is immensly confusing and I know some people wouldn't want to search up the news given how volatile it is, so here is a timeline of events. warnings for talk of violence, child death, racism, police ect
Monday 29/07: mass stabbing occured in Southport at a kids dance class, three girls died on scene, several others were hospitalised. An at time unnamed 17 y old boy was arrested on suspicion, and a knife was seized. later
Tuesday 30/07: having read false news suggesting that the attacker was a muslim immigrant who had arrived on a small boat, far-right groups with links to the EDL their leader Tommy Robinson took to the internet to imply the attacker was Muslim attacked a mosque in Southport, and after being declared a public disturbance, the police showed up and started trying to disperse them. This very quickly spiralled into a riot in which 39 police were hospitalised. Also on this day, Nigel fucking Farage, leader of far-right party Reform UK tweeted a video in which asked if the police were lying that the attack was not "terror related", furthering belief that the attacker was Muslim
Wednesday 31/07: violent anti immigrant protest continued, and there were mass riots in London. The PM spoke out denouncing the far right rioters as "violent thugs who would feel the full force of the law"
Thursday 01/08 : to try and curb the spread of misinformation, the police released the identity of their suspect - Axel Rudakubana, born in Cardiff to Rwandan parents in hope that the confirmation that he is not a Muslim immigrant would stop the rioting. It has not. PM Starmer released a statement saying that these were "coordinated attacks by the far right. " and that "this is not a protest that got out of hand these are individuals bent on violence"
Friday Night 02/08: Riots started in Sunderland late at night with reports of "serious violence". Starmer announced he had a plan to tackle far right violence.
Saturday 03/08: New far right mob action started in Manchester, Bristol, Hull, Belfast, Stoke, and Nottingham. Nottingham saw the first counterprotest, and as I write this, clashes between antifacist protestors and the far right is on going. The racists are setting fire to migrant housing buildings and attacking both police and counterprotestors countrywide. Dispersal orders have been issued for every city centre and major town centre across the UK.
Sunday 04/08: a "nick em quick" approach is to be used against the rioters in a hope to remove the far right mob from the street as soon as possible. There have been over 100 arrests. There are no plans to bring in the army, say ministers. There is a current attack on a migrant housing building in Rotherham.
I will keep posting updates as this unfolds so watch this space. This is obviously terrifying, so I want you to focus on actionable points.
stop the spread of misinformation. i can cite all my sources on a different post if you would like, but know that i visited ten different news sites, and also watched all the live news coverage to make this post. if you see any new information, fact check it. if you see someone spreading misinformation anywhere, DO SOMETHING. call them out and correct them and if they don't fix it, report them.
take care of any of your friends who aren't white, or if you aren't white, consider not going anywhere alone. racists don't discriminate in their discrimination. they are violent, deranged, and several are armed.
unless you are attending a counterprotest, stay the fuck out of town and city centres!!!!
STAY SAFE OUT THERE!! always in solidarity
Omg THANK YOU. The amount of people I've had to argue with because they disregard human ingenuity (something we should be proud of! We should look at the pyramids etc and feel pride for those who came before us!) with the belief that aliens built them🤦♀️ Even with archaeological evidence that clearly shows how the process of construction of the pyramids (with new evidence resurfacing everyday ie the rediscovered ancient branch of the Nile near Giza) they STILL decide to put their belief into the "theory" that aliens spawned them in/built them 💀
Egyptologists against ancient aliens!
“The pyramids are so massive there’s no way ancient Egyptians built that” get a FUCKING GRIP. Ancient Egypt was an extraordinarily stable and well-developed society. It had consistent and reliable access to extremely fertile, arable and highly developed land that employed a massive army of reserve labour in the off season. It had navigable river access to the Mediterranean and coastal access to the Indian Ocean. It was situated right next to the wealthiest parts of the ancient world. Its ENTIRE CULTURE AND RELIGION revolved around the boundary between life and afterlife and the circle of life and death - pyramids started construction far before the pharaohs were even CLOSE to death. There are many MANY examples of protopyramidal structures and direct examples of pyramid construction even outside the reach of the fullest extent of the kingdom of Egypt, in Sudan. Literally what more proof do you need? If there really was strong evidence of alien construction, historians would literally be salivating at the prospect of understanding how that came to be. Denying the incredible human achievement that the pyramids constitute isnt just sad and racist, it’s bullheaded; you have to concede so much direct and tangible evidence to believe they weren’t built by the Egyptians.

WE'RE GETTING A NEW LIVE-ACTION NATM PROJECT! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!
I found out about it from this video by NATM Archivist, and found the source. We're back, folks! What do YOU think the new thing will be? A TV show? A new sequel? A reboot? A side story? Tell me!
(I just hope there's more Ahkmenrah per square inch. Our pharaoh deserves some characterization.)

Ancient Egyptian medicinal and surgical processes are so incredibly interesting to me
Evidence of surgical tumor removal in ancient Egyptian skull is 'milestone in the history of medicine'
Mindy Weisberger for CNN:
Cancer is often regarded as a disease of the modern age. However, medical texts from ancient Egypt indicate that healers of the time were aware of the condition. Now, new evidence from a skull more than 4,000 years old has revealed that ancient Egyptian physicians may have tried to treat certain cancers with surgery.
The skull belonged to a man who was about 30 to 35 years old when he died, and it resides in the Duckworth Laboratory collection at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Since the mid-19th century, scientists have studied the skull's scarred surface, including multiple lesions thought to represent bone damage from malignant tumors. Archaeologists regard the skull, labeled 236 in the collection, as one of the oldest examples of malignancy in the ancient world, dating back to between 2686 BC and 2345 BC.
But when researchers recently peered more closely at the tumor scars with a digital microscope and micro-computed tomography (CT) scans, they detected signs of cut marks around the tumors, suggesting that sharp metal instruments had been used to remove the growths. The scientists reported the findings Wednesday in the journal Frontiers in Medicine.
…
However, it's unknown whether the healers tried to remove the tumors while the patient was still alive, or if the tumors were removed after death, for analysis, Camarós told CNN.
Even ancient Egyptians agree: fuck a cancer
