the fact that they had to say this is so funny

like do white supremacists just see that the band is swedish and assume they’re also shitheads. did they just hear the phrase “shipment of slaves” out of context in a sea shanty and assume ybp are vehement antiblack racists did they hear the line “which pa brought from the orient” forgetting that jens “wanchouzhong” choong was credited on that album. did they hear these are their lyrics...

Baghor stone is an Upper Paleolithic archaeological object that was found in the Son river valley near the village of Medhauli, in the Sidhi District, Madhya Pradesh, India. The stone, interpreted as a cult object, was found at the site of Baghor I, which is located near the base of the Kaimur Escarpment. It was first excavated in 1980.

Baghor stone is a natural triangular piece of local sandstone; it is rather colourful, and had been decorated with yellow pigment. These types of stones may be found on top of the escarpment. The Baghor site, with all its many lithic artefacts, was probably formed between 9000 B.C and 8000 B.C. Researchers dated the Upper Paleolithic small blade industry at the site to be approximately 11,870 years old (± 120 YBP) or possibly older than 10,000 B.C. The research team mentioned in 1983 that there is a very strong possibility that the stone represents a shrine to Shakti.[1]

if you dont know who shakti is:

Shakti (Devanagari: शक्ति, IAST: Śakti; lit. 'energy, ability, strength, effort, power, might, capability')[1] in Hinduism, is the "Universal Power" that underlies and sustains all existence. The term Shakta is used for the description of people and customs associated with Shakti worship. The Shakta pithas are shrines, which are believed to be the sacred seats of Shakti.

In Tantric Shaktism, Shakti is the foremost deity, akin to Brahman.[2][2] In Puranic Hinduism, Shiva and Shakti are the masculine and feminine principles that are complementary to each other. The male deity is purusha, pure consciousness, which creates the universe through the female creative energy of Shakti, which is prakriti, 'nature'.[3][4]

if it's not obvious. this is total bullshit. god why are archeologists like this. like, yes the holy symbol of kali is triangular. it was 9 thousand yeara ago!!! it might, MAYBE MAYBE be extremely distantly related to the goddesses that eventually influenced the development of kali, and shakti more generally. there is simply no way that they were in many meaningful sense "worshipping shakti". it was like 7000 years before the IE's would even arrive! yes, people TODAY worship it as a mother goddess. 9 thousand yeara! it was not the same religion dumbass!

while we can attribute some of the confusion to the imperfect picture that the tau'ri have of the ancient milky way, the writers of the show also just clearly fucked themselves over by given the alteran civilization a nonsensical timeline. ok so they leave their home galaxy tens of millions of years ago, reach their peak in the milky way ~5-10 million years ago, before their civilization collapses due to a plague, and the survivors depart for pegasus

where they live another few million years, until abandoning pegasus 10,000 YBP. meanwhile during the period where they were supposed to be part of the Alliance of Four Great Races in the milky way, they are not actually in the Milky Way? because we know that the Asgard civilization is less than 100,000 years old, and the Ancients left monuments from that era in the Milky Way, when they were supposed to be in Pegasus

and their technology across literally tens of millions of years and three galaxies seems rather static--oh sure, cosmetically it changes a lot between Destiny and the different generations of stargate, but it functions the same. and Lantean battleships from the end of the Lantean-Wraith war, after millions of years of technological progress, seem at best to have technological parity with, like the Asgard? even though we know the Asgard never equalled the ancients technologically, because Thor says they've been studying Ancient knowledge caches as long as he can remember and have barely scratched the surface.

and then by the time they return to the Milky Way as a handful of stragglers, the goa'uld have already risen to power, and the ancient are just like "welp, nothing we can do about that, guess we'll just ascend."

i know this is mostly Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale, but they really could have fixed most of these problems by not trying to one-up themselves with the timescales involved and having all this happen over a period of 1 or 200 thousand years, rather than tens of millions. you could even put the floruit of the Ancients millions of years ago, before antarctica was finally covered in ice, as long as you were clear that the Ancients as the Asgard knew them were a minor subpopulation that hung on after the plague wrecked their shit, but was content to live in an introspective out-of-the-way style like the Nox clearly are.

you might wanna know that someone is using the yaoiboypussy blog in a negative way already so it may have to heba case of reporting for ingenuine behaviour.

(would have sent this in anon but still, thought you should know this right now)

I was aware from other posts but thanks for mentioning this. I'm sure there are people who didn't know the whole story about YBP leaving and someone maliciously grabbing the username.

Fortunately, I don't think most people who knew the old YBP would believe it's the same person, so the impersonation doesn't really do much imo. It is what it is. Terfs love to be weird lol

2,000........... 2,000??? 2,000 years between 500,000 bce and 300,000 bce? 2,000?

EDIT: AH I have just been informed that I am the idiot. My apologies

I love love the early lower paleolithic venuses they were just lumpy rocks that people saw and though 'oh... it looks like me...' and just carried it with them for miles. They have knife scratches that accentuate the human form and i think thats so so cool but also look at them

My favorite thing about Crater Lake (the volcano formerly known as Mt. Mazama) is that the eruption of Mt. Mazama was witnessed by folks living nearby and the event was recorded and passed on through the oral traditions of the Klamath people, and said eruption happened approx. 7000 YBP.

NO WAY

It's always good to check your sources, even when the person giving you information presents themselves as an expert!* This person did helpfully give sources, so I'll link them.

*microbiologywes doesn't include his full name on his profile so I cannot verify his credentials. He does say he has a masters in microbiology. i don't actually think random online people SHOULD give their full credentials if they don't want to. after all, i'm just some rando giving you a wall of links

HIV from is from hunting primapes:

"CDC/WHO" is not great sourcing, but

CDC page on basics of HIV

I couldn't find a WHO page explaining the origins, but here's an in depth article on the evolutionary origins, and here's a more popsci article on some of the social factors that helped it spread.

The rest are PubMed IDs which are easier to look up (use the "full text" links on the right if you want to read beyond the abstracts):

Herpes: "Here, we investigated whether the additional human simplex virus is the result of ancient viral lineage duplication or cross-species transmission. [...] This selection-informed model favored a scenario in which HSV-1 is the result of ancient codivergence and HSV-2 arose from a cross-species transmission event from the ancestor of modern chimpanzees to an extinct Homo precursor of modern humans, around 1.6 Ma."

Syphilis 1 : This is more of an account of historical documents. Be aware that there's some racially charged language.

Syphilis 2: This one is from 1968 and is likely outdated.

My additions on syphilis: This article on syphilis might be slightly more accessible to read, but also check out this newer study. I also wanted to point out that it's unclear to me where that person got "from goats" as an origin. I think the microbiologist continued with the example as a rhetorical tool, but like the rest of the video, "from goats" seems to have been pulled from the ether.

HPV 1: "We discuss arguments that today's HPV-16 genomes represent a degree of diversity that evolved over a large time span, probably exceeding 200,000 years, from a precursor genome that may have originated in Africa."

HPV 2: "This estimated timeframe for the divergence of the Japan-specific clades suggests that the introduction of these HPV variants into the Japanese archipelago dates back to at least ~25,000 YBP and provides a scenario of virus co-migration with ancestral Japanese populations from continental Asia during the Upper Paleolithic period." AND "Pimenoff et al. showed that HPV16 A and B/C/D variant lineages split apart ~500,000 years before present (YBP), which largely predates the birth of Homo sapiens (~200,000 YBP) and coincides with the timing of the split between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens."

For absolute pettiness, I will also include a map of the historical range of manatees and their relatives. There WERE dugongs in China, I guess?

Chlamydia: "The origins of both sexually transmitted and ocular C. trachomatis are unclear, but it seems likely that they evolved with humans and shared a common ancestor with environmental chlamydiae some 700 million years ago."

I have not gone through and validated every single claim in the video, just looked up the sources provided (and some extra reading for the topics that interested me) and linked them to expedite you checking his sources. Most of the quotes provided are just from abstracts. This is all very easy information to look up, and you will find plenty of accessible articles from trustworthy sources.

Misinfo about disease origins and spread, especially for STIs, has been a tool for bigotry and stigmatization since the dawn of civilization. Don't repeat it.
