Greetings And Happy Day!
I got some fun questions for ya!
1: what is your favorite holiday
2: what is your favorite desert
3: did you know there's a cursed phone guy?
Oh hi anon! Pleasure seeing you!
Probably Halloween, I love getting an excuse to dress as favorite characters of mine!
Can I only choose one?! I love deserts of all kinds, but I think cheesecake would be one of my top favorites.
Oh... oh I know of who you speak of....
Charlie....
Aw man I'm gonna have to go leave some shoes out for him now. And maybe some cursed blueberry muffin cake for good measure. Do you think he's hiring any new janitors?

I know this happens and it looks suspicious but
Tumblr media
this image? we have every reason to think it is a cucumber, like it was made in clay models in burials period, it's painted green, it's on the small side of things (9.6 cm or 3 3/4 inch)
oh right and it was placed on a model offering table with small model bread and drinking cup
Tumblr media
sometimes a cucumber really is a cucumber.

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.
What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.
My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.

I wanted to join that 'International Miku' trend that is going on on Twitter. But there were already too many gorgeous mexican Mikus... but probably not a single baltic prussian Miku 😎 (if there are already, then I want to see them! <3 )
