Sean bienvenidos, amantes de la historia y de la arqueología, a una nueva publicación en la que hablaremos de la Prehistoria nipona; dicho esto, pónganse cómodos porque empezamos porque el saber es poder. - Tadahiro Aizawa(1926-1989), este arqueólogo, es bastante conocido por desenterrar el yacimiento arqueológico de Iwajuku un yacimiento que creo que mencioné muy por encima y va siendo hora de darle un poco más de cobertura. Dicho arqueólogo al principio y durante su vida no lo tuvo nada fácil, ya que fue difamado por falta de formación académica y sus logros nunca fueron plenamente valorados. Era un vendedor ambulante que se dedicaba a vender Natto y bicicletas, pero tenía una gran pasión por la historia y la arqueología y fue cuando encontró, a los 23 años de edad, una punta de obsidiana en forma de lanza en la capa de Marga de kanto en Iwajuku, en Midori-shi en la prefectura de Gunma. Los restos de este yacimiento se localizan en las faldas del monte Akagi. Tras su muerte se hizo un museo conmemorativo Aizawa Tadahiro en okusawa, en Shinzato-machi, en la ciudad de Kiryu en la prefectura antes mencionada. En este lugar investigó durante toda su vida. Su esposa Chieko de 84, comenta que era un hombre tranquilo, trabajador y que amaba a sus hijos. Su esposa es la directora de dicho museo. Este arqueólogo de chico tuvo problemas familiares no solo porque su padre se divorció, sino que, además, porque se fue con su padre a Kiryu, donde trabajó como Zapatero mientras iba a la escuela nocturna. Cabe destacar que este arqueólogo vivió en la era showa, nació al final de la era taisho y murió al principio de la heisei. - Espero que os haya gustado y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones hasta la próxima. - Welcome, history and archaeology lovers, to a new post in which we'll discuss Japanese prehistory. That said, make yourselves comfortable, because we're starting because knowledge is power. - Tadahiro Aizawa (1926-1989), this archaeologist, is well known for unearthing the Iwajuku archaeological site, a site I believe I briefly mentioned, and it's time to give it a little more coverage. This archaeologist didn't have it easy at first and throughout his life, as he was vilified for his lack of academic training, and his achievements were never fully appreciated. He was a street vendor selling natto and bicycles, but he had a great passion for history and archaeology, and it was at the age of 23 that he discovered a spear-shaped obsidian point in the Kanto Marga layer in Iwajuku, in Midori-shi, Gunma Prefecture. The remains from this site are located on the slopes of Mount Akagi. After his death, an Aizawa Tadahiro Memorial Museum was established in Okusawa, Shinzato-machi, in the city of Kiryu in the aforementioned prefecture. He conducted research there throughout his life. His wife, Chieko, 84, comments that he was a quiet, hardworking man who loved his children. His wife is the director of the museum. As a young man, this archaeologist faced family problems not only because his father divorced, but also because he moved with his father to Kiryu, where he worked as a shoemaker while attending night school. It's worth noting that this archaeologist lived during the Showa era, was born at the end of the Taisho era, and died at the beginning of the Heisei era. - I hope you enjoyed it, and see you in future posts.

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception. Edit: Yes I know where Boston is, that's what "special exception" means.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.
