Important reminder

This reminds me of the fact that "Ancient Egypt" goes back so many thousands of years, that the most recent "Ancient Egyptians" were already studying (even more) Ancient Egypt.

Not even the most recent ones. It was an Egyptian prince from the 13th century BCE studying and restoring artifacts from the 26th century BCE.

For context, the last Pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, lived in the 1st century BCE. Prince Khaemweset, known as "the first egyptologist", was as ancient to her as the pyramids and tombs he was studying were ancient to him.

I remember having me mind completely blown when I learned that the "New Kingdom" was pre-Bronze Age Collapse.

This has totally be mentioned in another fork of this post, but it reminds me quite a bit of Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum, a museum in Ur, c. 530 BC, which housed mesopotamian artifacts dating back in some cases to the 20th century BC

Ah yes, Mary Shelley’s monster.

Dr. Frankenstein was the real monster.

And he wasn't even a doctor!

schrodinger's chekhov's gun. a detail in a story that looks like it should have some big payoff but it's too early to tell if that's relevant or if the author just has a passion for lovingly describing guns.

schrodinger's chekov's occam's razor: you find an inconsistent or inaccurate detail in a work that would be brilliant if it was foreshadowing a plot twist later on, but it's too early to tell whether the author expects you to be smart, and the simplest explanation is that they fucked up

FUCKKKKKKK what if something bad happened and I forgot to worry about it

Why should I use my poison removers after I am poisoned in the poison swamp. I have to safe them in case a second bigger poison swamp surprises me

imagine a game where after you finally beat the last boss, there’s a room you have to enter to finish the game but you need three grenades to clear the rubble and if you didn’t save three grenades after the Last Battle you have to start over
