I'd assumed that the wheel was invented somewhere in the ancient Near East. I think the archaeologist is right, though, that multiple cultures invented the wheel at the same time.

INVENCION DE LA RUEDA
INVENTION OF THE WHEEL
(Español / English)
Uno de los logros más importantes de la Mesopotamia fue la invención de la rueda por primera vez en la historia, y desde ahí se transmitió este invento a todo el mundo.
En la imagen superior vemos ruedas hechas de bronce que datan del año 705 a. C. durante el reinado del rey asirio Sargón II, y son las mismas ruedas que vemos en el mural en la imagen inferior.
Se encontró en Khorsabad, Irak. Actualmente ubicado en el Instituto Oriental de la Universidad de Chicago, América.

One of the most important achievements of Mesopotamia was the invention of the wheel for the first time in history, and from there this invention was transmitted to the whole world.
In the image above we see wheels made of bronze dating from the year 705 B.C. during the reign of the Assyrian king Sargon II, and they are the same wheels that we see in the mural in the image below.
It was found in Khorsabad, Iraq. Currently located at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, America.

My brain malfunctioned and I was digging in MTMTE the whole day, forgot to blink, kicked pillow 8 times and was talking with my reflection 6 times
Ended up with 60+ screenshots of nerds being socially awkward/abnormal/straightforward because we use books to talk, not people, silly, cool or sweet, or just facts ahah






























#Man I remembered again how much I love Mega and Rodimus duo I wonder how they would react to each other#If they met as their younger versions untouched by war#Swerve literally can quote every of Blurr's races#Cried again when Ratchet left his words are some poetry that doesn't need to sound like one#Whirl Cyclonus and Tailgate ? EHEHEH#Scavengers are unhinged hobos ahaha#I want to put them in one story with Sixshot and Terrorcons#NICKEL MY SWEET GIRL#Looked at Sunder and thought of how damn well he would look if to make him even more and scarier#First Aid acting immediately and giving orders what to do in emergency situation? Yes please#Functions is universe with their “you are our eyes” plot twist YESSS#Functionists giving Rung a fake wheel to make at least a little sense of him and call him ornament? Pfffht#SWERVE IS SO F**KING COOL WITH THIS WHOLE HOLOMATTER ABILITY#Yeah no I hate Getaway.#Senator Shockwave giving an order to stop forced change of brain until two in charge agree on this?#And this way saving Megatron#Whirl saving Megatron because functionists are WORSE#Functionists invented empurata and all universities#Trailbracker... Would have loved to see more of him and Rodimus. His attempt to save him hit hard#Rung having a claustrophobia? Matter of fact I saw no angst of him that I would have found angsty XDD Somehow him getting forgotten#is the worst I saw#Necrobot is a crush. Hear me out he is a crush and very cool. I wish he had more time with Nightbeat.

Went from being totally lost as a teenager to finding solace in aesthetics and fitting urself into a template in my late teens and now I think I struck a healthy intermediate where I know who I am as a person generally but I’m also completely subscribed to the idea of evolving and would never deny trying something just bc it doesn’t fit the image of myself I crafted in my head
#I rly want to spend a considerable amount of time just testing things and seeing how I like them instead of figuring out how they fit into#The jigsaw of my selfhood#Bc that’s the kind of self containment that keeps ppl from exploring who they truly r beyond what they associate w certain aesthetics that#Have already been done to death#Also part of this is accepting that I as a human have shifting opinions and may change my mind and so change the way I carry myself#I get sad when I see ppl label flexibility w how u conduct urself an identity crisis#This is literally why the well is so dry and nothing is new anymore#In reality ppl who invented the wheel just looked at things they liked and incorporated that into who they are and that’s how they became#Trends#like if you can envision a way it fits into ur head that’s all that matters#And if you allow urself the ability to change ur mind on things that’s so much the better#And an important skill to have in life actually

Headcanon to no particular purpose:
Editorial cartoons exist in the world of Girl Genius (we know newspapers do).
The Parisian newspaper cartoonists universally represent Gil as a wolf and Tarvek as a fox. Agatha is a lioness.
If they have more space for details, the imagery becomes winged wolf (control of the skies), crowned fox (authority and royalty), and lioness with a broken trilobite collar (power unchained).
#girl genius#headcanons#worldbuilding#ot3#pictures in my head#see representing sparks in newspaper cartoons is really dangerous#like maybe they get offended by how you've drawn them#but maybe they turn up in your studio and demand to model and won't leave and drink all your tea#or maybe they turn up in your studio and they've invented a better pen for you#it is steampowered and on wheels and uses acid and doesn't fit up the stairwell#so they've helpfully moved your studio to the ground floor#and maybe removed a wall#so representative artwork is the safer option#animal avatars for everyone#krosp likes this because if agatha is a cat he is so too her king he told you so#i bet krosp reads all the newspapers#agatha heterodyne#tarvek sturmvoraus#gilgamesh wulfenbach

Also, like, if they do eebie Blue, you have to realize how much of a BIG DEAL that would be in the Pokemon World. Cuz ok, Anabel didn’t really leave anyone behind, no canon family and she even got to keep her mons. Ingo left behind his brother Emmet and his team, so that's more distressing of course. But Blue?
Blue wouldn't just leave behind a sister but also a GRANDFATHER. Y'know, motherfucking Professor Oak. AKA possibly the Biggest Name in canon, THE quintessential Pokemon Professor. And for all we joke about him forgetting Blue's name, lbr, he definitely loves both his grandchildren deeply. So if one suddenly went missing, there's absolutely no way he wouldn't cash in every favor and pull every string to bring them home safe.
And that doesn't even touch on Blue's connection with the Kanto League as both a former Champion and Gym Leader, his legendary friendship with Champion Red, and of course their work in the Battle Tree.
Blue Oak disappearing would be a National fucking Emergancy across numerous regions, the likes of which we have yet to see in Pokemon.
#pokemon#pokemon legends za#pokemon legends arceus#rival blue#blue oak#green oak#professor oak#and ok sure they could eebie red instead#but cmon no one would ever realize something was up and red would conquer any Pokemon region without breaking a sweat#that would be an average weekend for him#blue in the other hand would probably be cool for a few days b4 going 'actually this fucking sucks' and returning to his brat routes#as he bitches and angrly tries to find a way home#regardless of memory loss#not even a total mind wipe could rob him of his brat sass core#complaining the entire time as he tries to reinvent the wheel which has been un-invented

wheel of time written by nuclear engineer robert jordan is actually about nuclear anxiety and the consequences of the development of new technology aiding and abetting unchecked usage of weapons of mass destruction. in this essay I will -
#that’s what balefire is!#rand contemplating how war tactics will change to accomodate gateways? mat feeling unhappy about aludra’s invention of the cannons?#the seanchan hesitating when they think elayne deployed a powerful weapon to obliterate their forces? the race to get their hands on the#gateway weave? it’s all right there.#text#wheel of time#and brandon sanderson went ahead and glamourised it. bye.#<- lmao I know this tag is going to piss so many people off like stay mad! if you want to interpret his writing with more generosity than#he deserves instead of examining his pattern of writing across all his books it’s a you problem.#brandon

I do understand some people don’t want to see any criticism of the show, but many of us like to analyze and critique the books and that obviously extends to the show as well, both on its own and as an adaptation. But most of us really enjoy the show as well even if we have criticisms of it. This is not reddit or twitter and the people on tumblr critiquing the decisions that show makes are not doing so in an effort to tear down the show but because that is how we like to interact with media and the text.
And I get that people are wary of complaints/critiques about the show after the racist and misogynistic campaigns against season 1, but that does not mean that all criticism of the show is coming from a place of hatred. And I think it’s natural with an adaptation that people will want to address what changes they didn’t (and did!) like and that’s okay!!
#idk maybe I’m inventing a guy to be mad at but I hate when people act like anyone who criticizes the show is a unhinged reddit-type hater#wot#wot on prime#wheel of time#ok now i'm going to bed#sorry if this is overly defensive
