An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell circa 500,000-300,000 years ago.

The maker appears to have deliberately flaked around the shell to preserve and place it in a central position. As a result this handaxe has been described as an early example of artistic thought.

From West Tofts, Norfolk.

Yea so Ody is finally home and he’s with his wife and son. It’s all cool and fun. But hold on. Can you imagine how HORRIFYING Odysseus and his family must be to other Royals now?

Here is a king that fought monsters, witches, slaughtered most of the male Nobles in his kingdom. FOUGHT POSEIDON AND MADE HIM BEG FOR MERCY!

And worst of all, he is crazy smart. So negotiating or trying to make deals with Odysseus must be the most horrifying thing in existence at the time. You can’t threaten him, you can’t negotiate a better position than him, you can only just sit there and smile as you pray you don’t accidentally offend him.

Oh and that’s not all, If Penelope also dislikes you, you’re f***ed. Because Odysseus fought a war for 10 years over an oath. Imagine what he would do if someone tried something with his wife… OH WAIT, we don’t have to. He SLAUGHTERED them! And she might not even need him to.

She is from Sparta and by Odysseus own words JUST AS SMART AS HIM. The main reason she didn’t go out and fight those nobles/kick them out is because of the laws of hospitality (which are enforced by Zeus). But with her god piercer husband, she doesn’t need to be so polite anymore. And she held the kingdom together for 20 years! She knows how to handle business. So yea, don’t mess with her either.

And his kid? He’s a warrior of the mind now! Who has the favor of ATHENA! WHO in a very short time learned how to fight. Going from losing a fist fight, to fighting dozens of men who only overwhelmed him because he got TIRED of kicking their asses! He has ATHENA on his side as his best friend. Dont even try

Point is The Ithaca royal family is a f***ing nightmare to deal with now.

what if we both tried to resign from our positions as cardinals but the late pope wouldn’t let us because he thought we had more to offer the church and entrusted us both with his legacy while knowing he was dying, and then we meet in the most intense circumstance possible within the church and discover that we serve the same purpose and each find worthy things to follow and believe in within each other. and we were both boys.

I am so so sorry. I am rapidly swinging between it was intentional and it wasn't, I'm just trying not to be sick.

reading cassius dio's writing about domitian and im obsessed with the story he tells us about julius calvaster, a man who was charged with conspiring with a governor named antonius to overthrow domitian, and his argument that he wasn't involved was "oh all those meetings i had with antonius? yeah so actually they weren't about planning to overthrow you we were just having the hottest sweatiest sex this side of the alps. nothing but man on man action." and he was so hot that domitian was like "yeah that checks out" and acquitted him
