The eclipse of - What happened and what's going on 509. 🌞 ☀️ 🌙 🌚

In past posts, I've mentioned how the eclipses of 2017, 2023, and this weeks eclipse in 2024 were important to Beth's return.

You can read more on the eclipses here and here.

They are time markers to her return, and we can count it as a sign to look for, because Leah and Daryl were looking up at the 2017 eclipse.

I stumbled across this connection, placing them in 2017, but yesterday, other walking dead accounts put out material saying the same thing. It's confirmed, and this eclipse symbolism is part of the clues on how we "find me" or find Beth.

So it is important...

Emily mentioned Monday's eclipse by re-posting a story of a person talking about how the eclipse was a big old waste of time. He thought It left much to be desired, considering all the hype there was around it.

All the whether people were talking about it. All the conspiracy people were talking about it. He thought he was gonna get superpowers from it, but he just got really cold 🥶 (notice Leah and Daryl are watching the eclipse on a fridge)

I've learnt over the years that Emily leaves clues, but she will also lie lie lie. (I still love her 😆)

This is fitting because as they are using the biblical end time template over and over, and the number one sign Christ points to as a sign of his coming is deception.

Matthew 24.3

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Leah's "son" called Matthew?

The fact that Emily even acknowledges the eclipse points to it meaning something.

And while it may have been a big nothing burger in some locations. Other locations got a magnificent show.

The eclipse symbolism was front and center at Rick's reunion. The glowing ring of the CRM logo in the sky, is the eclipse.

We saw wedding symbolism and wedding ring symbolism, which is also eclipse symbolism, and it's all connected to the return of Christ.

His coming is connected to marriage to the "bride" of Christ.

Eclipse terminology even uses the term diamond ring to describe the eclipse (You can see the "diamond" in the above eclipse picture)

It's wedding season (return/union/reunion/wedding season), and Emily is well aware of the symbolic connections to the eclipse and marriage.

She's seen here - the humming bird, at Hummingbird Nest in wedding season...

Emily released the song called Rock Star when she had just left The Walking Dead.

I have talked many times before about how the end is the beginning, and the beginning is the end. The projects she did after just leaving the walking dead give clues to how she will return.

She has used the biblical end times template in much of her work, as has TWD - they just rework it.

And that's exactly what Emily did with the song Rock-star.

It's a song about marriage, and the video is in black and white (colour eclipsed). Listen here

The song mentions diamond rings 💍, Converse (star) shoes, something Emily posted about recently, too.

The song also talks about satellites, The Walking Dead, getting old, and...Lofting a bed above his practice space.

This scene below is from an episode after Jesus dies. (The end is the beginning)

Daryl shares the loft bed with dog, aka Beth.

The loft or penthouse suite...Beth picked it.

Knowing that the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end, I went back and re-watched episode 509 - What happened and what's going on.

To look for any clues that point to an eclipse and oh boy I was not disappointed.

The episode literally shows us a solar eclipse. They use flashes of blinding colored light to block out the sun...

The use of pulsing and flashing lightning all through the episode always seemed odd, but now, in light of the eclipse symbolism, it makes sense.

Especially with the knowledge that the episode starts and ends with Father Gabriel quoting the bible verse about looking at what is unseen and what is eternal.

Go re-watch the episode if you get a chance, with eclipse symbolism in mind. You will see it differently.

Not only do we get the depiction of a solar eclipse, but we also see this image...

We have analysed this picture many times before. What stands out to me having the eclipse in mind is the X shape on the door pointing to the X eclipse.

Obviously. We have the dog on the porch, Sirius, and the American flag, which would point to the X eclipse being over the United States.

We also see Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde statue, looking up at the sky through what seems to be a magnifying glass or lens. You could say Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's personalities are night and day (eclipse)

What I found most interesting about this picture is the globe. The globe has shadows of eclipse lines on it...

After some digging, I discovered the map on the globe focuses over Africa.

If you look closely, you'll see the little growing ball of light over the ocean. I discovered that is a representation of the moon.

The globe here is pointing to a blood moon lunar eclipse that is scheduled to happen over this exact location In the year 2029.

Notice in the graphic above, the eye 👁 of the moon goes from closed to open - keep this in mind for later.

I point this out because Emily has written about blood moons before in her song Mortal.

Many people thought when she released the song that it was about her and Daryl, and it is.

Here are the relevant words from the song Mortal...

Baby, that's what I call feeling mortal.

Put your head and cry on my shoulder.

We can watch the moon turn bright blood red.

We can stay the night in my tree house bed. (Loft that 🐕 dog chose)

If the end is the beginning and the beginning is the end, then It's very possible when Beth returns, Daryl and her will watch a blood red moon in her tree house bed. Their story may well end in 2029, when this real blood moon is scheduled. Why the Africa link? Who knows, maybe it's a link to the pyramids, Sirius rising and Alexandria/Andrea (Revived Roman empire territory)

After posting the story about the guy talking about the eclipse, Emily also posted this blood red picture of the album, Oh Jonathan. From which the song Mortal comes.

Not a coincidence.

I've mentioned before how the antichrist receives a mortal head wound but is healed from that head wound.

Emily chose the title Mortal for this reason, it's another hint to her head wound survival and her return.

Both of these again link back to the return of Christ and the antichrist.

The beast is another term for the antichrist...

Revelation 13.3

And I saw that one of his heads was, as it were, wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered after the beast.

Back to the blood moon clip that I showed you from Africa. What's really interesting is one specific piece of Emily's artwork for her album swim team.

It matches the blood moon chart, and the blood moons eye 👁 goes from closed to open. We can watch 👁 the moon turn bright blood red...

One other connection that's worth mentioning here since we are back at Noah's house is that the bible describes the return of Christ as being like the days of Noah. 🌈

‭Matthew 24:36-39 (once again, Matthew is connected to FIND ME and Beth, and so are the days of Noah)

“Now concerning that day and hour no one knows — neither the angels of heaven nor the Son — except the Father alone. [37] As the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be. [38] For in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah boarded the ark. [39] They didn’t know until the flood came and swept them all away. This is the way the coming of the Son of Man will be.

The days of Noah are associated with the rainbow, and we just saw Rick (Andrew Lincoln) post about a rainbow after the final of the ones who live. Here

When I took a video of the certain portions of What's happened and what's going on I realised they used all the colours of the rainbow 🌈 over the top of particular footage...

And we see the same colour eclipse Beth, in this clip below, that we saw in the sun drawing eclipse...

Beth - blue eclipse - Sun

Now i need to back up a bit, because before the group arrived at Noah's home.

We see them drive into a clearing, in a vehicle with this number plate

The number plate says WBT 1417

This clearing they park in before going on foot to Noah's house, is the first time we see the symbol of the wolf, which is carved into the walkers that have been chopped in half and shoved into the red vehicle.

We also see a girl walker trapped in a car that's been shot up, and many have speculated it was to remind us of Beth.

I very much think it's symbolic of Beth.

All these connections made me think about what the number plate could stand for.

W Stands for wolf.

B T stands for Beth, Beth means house of...so WBT means house of wolf.

When I searched for house of wolf 1417, the results led me to the Wolf of Rimini.

After reading about the Wolf of Rimini, for me, the most notable connection is that the Wolf of Rimini is from Italy, which connects to the antichrist coming from a revived Roman empire.

The Wolf of Rimini was known for being a military leader, which is another thing he would have in common with the antichrist, who will conquer through great military power.

The last connection that the Wolf of Rimini has that reminded me of Beth, is that he led a group to steal the remains of one of his teachers and mentors.

So in one clearing, we have wolf, antichrist, Beth, and stolen remains symbolism.

But that's not all...

The other car we see in this clearing has the number plate Luke 8:41-67.

I talked about this number plate in my last post that you can read here.

This Luke number plate was related to Jesus's healing miracles around the pool of Bethesda. It's super interesting that this car has the wolf or W marked walkers in it that have had their legs cut off.

Luke in the show had his leg cut off.

The Luke number plate was also seen when Jesus was first introduced in 610, and the Luke car is parked next to the car with the walker "Beth" in it.

During this episode, Tyrese keeps talking about keeping up with the news and being aware of what's going on in the world.

Well, I was keeping up with the news over the eclipse and one article caught my attention because right as the eclipse was happening, a lady decided to shoot up a car.

It caught my attention because it looked exactly like the shot up car that the Beth Walker was in.

The article said that God told her to shoot the car up.

I had to add this because the connections are too bizarre to just skip over. Hopefully, no one was hurt.

What happened and what's going on is all related to the coming wolves.

Wolf symbolism in the bible is described as something bad.

The wolf is repeatedly mentioned in the scriptures as an enemy of flocks: a metaphor for evil men with a lust for power and dishonest gain, as well as a metaphor for Satan preying on Christians, contrasted with the shepherd Jesus who keeps his flock safe.

So, the wolf symbolism being tied to the antichrist (wolf of Rimini/Roman Empire) and the Wolf Praying on the Christians (Christ/Beth/Luke) and the potential stealing of Beth's remains, all works together to paint a picture of the past but also the future story they will tell.

Another eclipse sign i noticed in this episode was when Glenn broke a C.D. in half.

To me, the CD glowing in the sun reminded me of an eclipse. We have been analysing a hidden or eclipsed version of Beth's story ever since she "died."

When the group finally arrived at Noah's house, We see more hints of Beth return.

We see a sign that says Summer place (pine for Summer)

We see the eclipse sun on the ground which i already showed, and the wolves not far sign.

When Noah enters his house, He places a blanket with black and white XXXX's all over it, over the dead body. While he says...

When Tyrese enters Noah's brother's bedroom, we first see a telescope 🔭 and rockets. Telling us to look to the skies, more hints at the eclipse, sun, moon, and star symbolism and as if mentioned before those are also signs of the coming of Christ.

The book of Luke also gives instruction to look up when you see all the signs of the second coming of Christ.

Luke 21.28

When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

The bedroom he enters has a lot of plane and dog (Sirius) symbolism.

We saw a lot of planes and helicopters around Rick's return, and in other posts, I've already mentioned how they are symbolic of inter-dimensional travel. That can relate to God Satan, angels, or fallen angels.

The Governor returns, and he represents Sirius, returning with the one eye symbolism. He talks about paying the bill. At the same time, we see more of the sun eclipse and Beth in the car symbolism in the background.

All this is happening in Noah's house, and it's a sign of judgment day and the end times. 🌈

This is emphasized by showing us the train tracks to Terminus (coda/end) being shown along with the flickering rainbow eclipse lights.

The last thing i want to mention is something Glenn says in this episode. At one point, he mentions the guy in the train car that they came across at Terminus (the end) who screams... they're us, we're the same...

To sum up, the eclipse symbolism is huge in this episode and to Beth's return, and I bet no one (not even me) realised just how much symbolism there is for it surrounding Beth.

She will return with the same signs and symbolism that she left with.

💫🌈👁🌚✝️♾️✝️🌚👁🌈💫

If you have any questions, just send me an ask.

[twdmusicboxmystery]

just saw the dead city trailer and ran here. What do you think about the time jump there with older Hershel playing into everyone reuniting with the CRM? Ready for your FTWD analysis too. also just realized FTWD will probably coincide with dead city. Going into the new phase with low expectations and hopefully a good outcome🤞🏻

Yeah, I saw them. Super exciting! The thing is, I don't think Hershel will actually be significantly older. I seem to remember them talking about a very small time jump, like maybe a few months, but I don't think it will be more than that. The actor who plays Hershel does look older, but that's just because kids age so quickly on film. It's been 2 years since this young man first portrayed Hershel, so of course he'll look older. That doesn't mean he is in the show.

Cailey Fleming, who plays Judith on the show, is kind of an exception here. She's a 14-year-old who still looks like she's ten, lol. But that's not true of most kids. So, I wouldn't worry overly much about there being a time jump.

As for other observations about the two new trailers, here is what I sent my fellow theorists:

@twdmusicboxmystery:

A few things that immediately jumped out at me.

Maggie says someone is “the key” to getting Hershel back. We’re meant to believe she’s talking to Negan, and she may be. But we know they can sometimes splice together trailers in a way that can be misleading. But this is a theme we saw heavily in S4 and S5, including around Grady.

The storyline they lay out for Fear, brief tho it may be, feels like a template for the CRM. People raising an army to challenge a larger organization.

June looks exactly like Leah in this picture:

Any insight into who the guy in the wanted poster is? It COULD be Rick. Doesn’t look like him in particular, but closer to him than to Beth, lol.

I got IMDb to try and confirm weather or not they’re using the same actor for Hershel. I think they are, but none of the spin-offs are listed anywhere on IMDb yet. Not Dead City and not Daryl Dixon. Which is a little strange since fans can edit the pages. It’s odd that no one has added them.

I almost feel like maybe they’re purposefully being kept off the pages for now. Though I don’t know why they would do that.

@galadrieljones:

That is weird about IMDb. I agree it makes it seem like they don’t want the info out there. It’s strange like the spin offs still don’t seem real? Esp the Daryl one.

@wdway:

You asked who we thought was in the wanted poster. I think it is Negan.

I've been thinking about some of the scenes that we've seen in the past seasons that implied that Negan might know something about the CRM but maybe not realize that's who it is and I think that Negan might be smart enough not to question certain things to closely.

When Jadis held him at the junkyard she called the CRM helicopter which he saw. Nothing was ever explained about how he just totally ignored that. At the satellite station they had a room where they were growing pot I wonder if he was growing pot to sell to some group connected to the CMR in exchange for other medical supplies like insulin that we saw with Tina, Sherry and Dwight had stolen when they left the sanctuary.

In Here's Negan there was a lot of open questions about the cancer medicine he got from the doctor in the RV. It just seem to me there are a lot of questions that were put out and then skipped over.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

Great points! I hadn't thought of that. 👍

So, these are our initial thoughts about the two trailers. What does everyone else think?

GIS Integration - Enhance Your Data Management System

In today’s fast-paced and data-driven world, organizations are continually searching for ways to improve their decision-making capabilities and operational efficiency. Geographic Information System (GIS) integration has emerged as a powerful tool to enhance data management systems by enabling the visualization, analysis, and interpretation of spatial and non-spatial data. By integrating GIS into your existing workflows, you can unlock the full potential of your data and make more informed decisions.

In this blog, we will explore the concept of GIS integration, its benefits, key applications, and how it can transform your organization’s data management system.

What is GIS Integration?

GIS integration refers to the seamless combination of GIS technology with other data management systems, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Business Intelligence (BI) platforms. This integration enables the exchange and analysis of data with a spatial context, providing a comprehensive view of your organization’s operations.

A GIS integrates data layers, such as maps, satellite imagery, and geospatial datasets, with existing databases to create a unified platform. By doing so, it bridges the gap between spatial and non-spatial data, making it easier to visualize relationships, patterns, and trends.

Benefits of GIS Integration

1. Enhanced Data Visualization

Traditional data management systems often rely on tables, charts, and graphs, which can be challenging to interpret. GIS integration allows you to overlay data on interactive maps, providing a more intuitive way to analyze information. For example, sales data can be displayed geographically to identify regional performance trends.

2. Improved Decision-Making

GIS integration empowers decision-makers by providing actionable insights through spatial analysis. By understanding the geographic context of your data, you can make more informed decisions, such as selecting the best location for a new facility or optimizing delivery routes.

3. Streamlined Workflows

Integrating GIS with your existing systems eliminates the need for manual data transfers and reduces duplication of efforts. This streamlined workflow saves time and ensures data consistency across platforms.

4. Better Resource Management

GIS integration helps organizations allocate resources more efficiently by analyzing spatial data. For instance, utility companies can use GIS to monitor infrastructure, identify maintenance needs, and prioritize repairs based on location.

5. Enhanced Collaboration

GIS platforms provide a shared environment where teams can collaborate on projects, share insights, and access real-time data. This fosters better communication and coordination among departments.

Key Applications of GIS Integration

1. Urban Planning and Development

Urban planners use GIS to design sustainable cities by analyzing land use, transportation networks, and environmental impacts. Integrating GIS with planning tools enables data-driven decisions that balance growth with environmental preservation.

2. Disaster Management

GIS integration is crucial for disaster preparedness and response. By combining real-time data with historical records, organizations can predict the impact of natural disasters, plan evacuation routes, and allocate resources effectively.

3. Logistics and Supply Chain Management

In the logistics industry, GIS integration optimizes route planning, reduces fuel consumption, and improves delivery times. By analyzing spatial data, businesses can identify bottlenecks and implement solutions to enhance efficiency.

4. Environmental Monitoring

GIS integration plays a vital role in environmental conservation by tracking changes in land cover, water quality, and wildlife habitats. This data helps organizations implement effective conservation strategies and monitor progress over time.

5. Public Health

In healthcare, GIS integration supports the analysis of disease patterns, vaccination coverage, and accessibility to medical facilities. This information is invaluable for improving public health outcomes and addressing disparities.

Steps to Implement GIS Integration

Step 1: Assess Your Needs

Identify the specific goals and challenges your organization aims to address through GIS integration. Determine the type of data you need to analyze and the systems you want to integrate with GIS.

Step 2: Choose the Right GIS Platform

Select a GIS platform that aligns with your organization’s requirements. Consider factors such as scalability, ease of use, compatibility with existing systems, and support for advanced analytics.

Step 3: Prepare Your Data

Ensure your data is clean, accurate, and compatible with the GIS platform. This may involve converting data into geospatial formats or enriching datasets with location-based attributes.

Step 4: Integrate Systems

Work with GIS experts to integrate your existing systems with the GIS platform. This may involve developing custom APIs or using middleware solutions to enable seamless data exchange.

Step 5: Train Your Team

Provide training for your team to ensure they can effectively use the integrated GIS system. Familiarity with the platform’s features and capabilities is essential for maximizing its benefits.

Step 6: Monitor and Optimize

Regularly monitor the performance of your GIS integration and gather feedback from users. Use this information to make improvements and ensure the system continues to meet your organization’s needs.

Real-World Examples of GIS Integration

Example 1: Retail Site Selection

A retail chain integrated GIS with its CRM system to analyze customer demographics, spending patterns, and competitor locations. By overlaying this data on maps, the company identified optimal sites for new stores, leading to increased foot traffic and revenue.

Example 2: Utility Asset Management

A utility company integrated GIS with its ERP system to manage infrastructure assets. The system provided real-time updates on equipment status, enabling the company to prioritize maintenance and reduce downtime.

Example 3: Emergency Response

A government agency integrated GIS with its disaster management system to coordinate emergency response efforts. The platform provided real-time data on affected areas, evacuation routes, and resource availability, improving response times and saving lives.

The Future of GIS Integration

As technology continues to evolve, GIS integration is expected to become even more powerful and accessible. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and cloud computing are enabling more sophisticated spatial analysis and real-time data processing. Additionally, the increasing availability of geospatial data from satellites, drones, and IoT devices is expanding the possibilities for GIS applications.

Organizations that embrace GIS integration will be better positioned to navigate the complexities of a data-driven world. By leveraging the power of location-based insights, they can enhance their data management systems, drive innovation, and achieve their strategic objectives.

Conclusion

GIS integration is a game-changer for organizations looking to enhance their data management systems. By combining spatial and non-spatial data, GIS provides a holistic view of your operations, enabling better decision-making, improved efficiency, and enhanced collaboration. Whether you’re in urban planning, logistics, or public health, GIS integration can transform the way you manage and analyze data.

Words from a so-far successful archaeologist (25 years old/recent Ph.D. admit)

Hello Everyone!  I have revived my Tumblr to find many messages asking “what do I do next” when it comes to Archaeology/Anthropology. So I thought I’d create a post explaining what I went through to get to where I am now, and hopefully give some information to those who are pondering on the next steps to take in this truly wonderful field of study.  Quick academic about me: 

Undergrad: Ivy League, Major: Anthropology-Geography, Minor: Religion

After Undergrad: 1 year of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) & Substitute teaching

Graduate School: England MSc in Archaeological Information Systems

After Graduate: 10-month long research grant in Cambodia

Now: (USA)  Ph.D. Candidate in Anthropology, Archaeology Track

I come from a low-middle class family, all of my academics have been funded through financial aid or through grants that I’ve applied for. A lot of the time school and research can get expensive, but that doesn’t mean you have to be wealthy to pursue it!

Per usual, please feel free to DM me at any point with questions (here or IG @ aal.archaeology), I’m always happy to help to the best of my ability. Success in this field is really dependent on networking!

I’ll set this up based on the various landmarks of my academic career: 

1. Undergrad

Themes: Ask for help, build your resume, write down everything

No matter where you are going to school, it is so so so important to use the resources around you. Becoming a professor is HARD work, and each one of your professors went through a lot to be able to stand in front of you and teach you. They’ve likely had years and years of research experience, which is probably still happening behind the scenes of teaching and grading papers. More often than not, professors want to help you, they want students to be excited about the research they’ve worked so hard on, and they want to do what they can to help you achieve your career goals.  Therefore, if there’s a class you’ve taken or a professor whose research you’re interested in, tell them. This is how I got my first experience with archaeology (before I even knew that I wanted to do archaeology). I randomly took an Anthropology class that sounded cool, and after the first class, I was like WOW I love this topic so much and I really want to know more about it. I went up to the professor that was teaching it, told her I was really interested and asked if she knew of any research opportunities available. She then hired me as a student researcher in her lab to do data entry for one of her archaeological projects in Mesoamerica, and after working for her for a few months, she asked me if I wanted to go with her and her team to Mexico for fieldwork. 

         (my timeline at this point: 19 years old, end of Sophomore year)

From this experience, I learned how to apply to grants within the University and funding outside of the University, and was able to FULLY fund my research experience in Mexico. During this fieldwork, I got to work with 3000-year-old artifacts, do archaeoillustration, and eventually got my own chapter published in the book that my professor wrote about the research that was done.

After I got back from Mexico, I started exploring archaeology further. A new professor entered the department who specialized in “digital archaeology,” and his research involved tracking looting patters in Syria using satellite imagery. I thought this was crazy so I then went up to him and asked if I could help him with his research. (the common theme throughout this entire process is just asking for help). From this experience, I learned that I loved the possibilities that technology brought to the study of archaeology, everything from 3D modeling to identification of sites in satellite imagery to spatial mapping in GIS. With this professor, I was able to form an “internship” with him, and continued doing that and other minor projects within the department. I ended up modifying my major to incorporate coursework from the Geography department and created my own “Digital Archaeology” major.

        (my timeline at this point: 22 years old, Senior year)

As graduation began to creep closer, I had been able to get a good amount of lines on my resume. I had:

research assistant/ data entry

fieldwork in mesoamerica

x2 internships with digital archaeology prof

multiple “small” projects around the department i.e. making posters, painting 3D prints of bones,

all of the coursework I had done on GIS/ relevant digital experience

started a drone club at my school (it flopped, but it still counts as a line on the resume!)

All of these lines became useful when starting to think of jobs and the “next step”

UNDERGRAD HIGHLIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:

Ask for help, your professors are there for a reason, it will almost always lead you to new opportunities. These relationships last well beyond your graduation and definitely come in handy later, make it count!

Write down EVERYTHING that you do. Did you help out with a conference? Write it down. Did you do a couple hours of data entry? Write it down.

Follow your leads! I started my anth journey in Mesoamerica and ended my undergrad in Near Easter digital archaeology (and I entered college wanting to do astronomy?). Change is natural, let it happen.  

2. Gap Year Between Undergrad and Grad School

Highlights: Job applications, field school, CRM, uncertainty

Something that I was always told during my undergrad was that you really need to do a field school and some CRM to be taken seriously post-grad. This shows that you actually want to be an archaeologist outside of the classroom environment. Field Schools and CRM give you valuable experience such as: excavation methodology, report writing, grant applications, teamwork, leadership, etc. 

I started applying for jobs probably about 5 months before I graduated and ended up securing a job at a CRM company in LA. They liked how much I had done during my undergrad, but they really wanted me to have a field school under my belt before I started working for them. Because I had already graduated and didn’t need course credit, I was able to do my field school at a discounted price (these things really do get expensive, and this was a difference of about $2k). I think this worked out in my favor waiting until the summer after I graduated because it saved me a lot of money in the end. 

After my field school was done, I started work that September in CRM. This job ended up being nothing like what I thought it would be, to be honest. I was an Archaeological Field Technician that was part-time/on-call, meaning I only got work when they needed someone to go monitor a construction site. I only got work once every month, sometimes every couple of months, so I was making hardly any money. I realized this quickly and decided to become a substitute teacher to supplement the CRM job. I HIGHLY recommend doing this if you end up in the same situation. Not only does subbing fill up all of your non-working days, but it also gives you the flexibility to choose when you can work and gives you teaching experience that you can put on your resume. That CRM experience can be really important, so it’s good to stick it out long enough to quit.

      Why didn’t I like CRM? For me, my job was very sparse, included driving long hours to a construction site, sitting there all day in case archaeological material popped up, and then driving home. Sometimes it was just walking back and forth across a massive field full of cow poop looking for arrowheads, and often it felt like I was just clearing land so that a big building could be erected. I was really missing the research component to all of it. The pay was also not great. 

GAP YEAR HIGHLIGHTS AND TAKEAWAYS:

What I got from this year was very valuable, even though it wasn’t necessarily that fun, however. 

I got the experience I needed in CRM

I got some teaching experience (also volunteered to mentor clubs and research at local high schools during this time)

I started doing some networking (I found some alumni that were doing work that I wanted to be doing and reached out to them)

and most importantly, I realized that I really do love school and wanted to go back for my Masters

So I started looking into Masters's programs. This is kind of a scary thing especially in the US because school is expensive. I still really wanted to do Digital Archaeology, and I couldn’t find a single program in the US had a focus in this topic, and especially couldn’t find one that I was willing to pay for. 

The UK, however, had plenty of Digital Archaeology programs, and the programs were only a year long and a fraction of the price in the US. I decided to take a chance and apply, got in, and then suddenly I was moving to England. (in hindsight I really didn’t spend much time at all making this decision, but it worked out in the end). 

3. Masters Program

         (my timeline at this point: 23-24 years old)

I chose the program I applied to based on its focus on the techniques that I wanted to use, namely, remote sensing, GIS, and 3D modeling. I really wanted a degree qualification that spoke for itself, and therefore applied for an MSc in “Archaeological Information Systems.” 

I had done some networking during my gap year and connected with an alumnus who was doing research in Cambodia using digital methods, and she offered me the opportunity to join her fieldwork. I agreed to join her in Cambodia during my degree, and also applied for a research grant for the year following my master's degree to continue fieldwork in Cambodia. 

I used this opportunity to fuel my dissertation topic and focused all of my writing and coursework throughout my grad school experience around Cambodia. While I was surrounded by people studying Roman architecture and Medieval Studies, I spent my time doing independent work and building a network in Cambodia. 

This program was a great experience for the most part, I was surrounded by beautiful medieval architecture and had a great community throughout. I personally didn’t really like the UK school system compared to what I had received in the US, however. This was largely because of the way coursework was set up. (If you want to know more just DM me).

MASTERS HIGHLIGHTS AND TAKEAWAYS:

Follow networking opportunities, and find someone doing what you want to do (or close to it) and let them help you take the steps to get there

If you’re going to do grad school, do it in something you know you love. Don’t waste money on a program that isn’t right for you.

Make sure that the program you apply to allows for flexibility so that you can do research on what YOU want, not what THEY want.

Halfway through my Master's degree, I received word that I had been accepted for the research grant (Fulbright) and would spend the next year living in Cambodia doing independent research.

4. Gap Year Between Masters Program and PhD

If you’re planning on a Ph.D., I think its a really good idea to do something before applying that relates to what you want to be studying. This shows that you’re dedicated to your research and to a life in academia, and have the ability to produce something from your work. 

My master's degree was nice because 1) it was short, only a year-long, and 2) allowed me to focus research on what I was interested in. This gave me the experience I needed to lead into a year of independent research.

This year of independent research was definitely contingent on receiving the grant in the first place, and I think that I would have started job searching again had I not received it. However, the small things I did leading up to applying for it really helped in qualifying me to receive it. 

     I had:

All of the undergraduate research experience

CRM experience

teaching experience

fieldwork experience

a master’s degree that focused on the region 

established a network of people in the country beforehand

a couple “publications” from fieldwork 

This grant fully funds me living in Cambodia, and has allowed me to participate in cultural exchange with some amazing people here in addition to allowing me to partake in archaeological fieldwork across the country. 

Again, I cannot stress enough how important it is to network. If you like something, find someone else who likes the same thing, send them an email.

Networking got me my experience in Mesoamerica, Digital Archaeology, my CRM job, my research experience in Cambodia, and so so much more. All because I sent that first email.

5. PhD Applications

I applied to 1 school. I got in. Its a really good school. I’m still in shock. 

However, I think I really did set myself up for success in this one. 

The biggest advice I can give in the world of Academia is:

NETWORK

Talking to people who have gone through what you’re going through are the BEST help. They can mentor you through these experiences, offer you new opportunities, or lead you in the direction of someone else who can help.

PLAN AHEAD (but be open to change)

Okay, so you’re applying to grad school. What do you want to focus on while you’re there? What do you want to do with the degree when you’re done? Do you want to start working? Do you want to do more research? What opportunities are out there for research funding? What is the job market looking for? Is there anyone in my network that can help me get there?

None of these have to be concrete plans, they just have to exist in some shape or form so that you have the ability to latch on to one when the opportunity arises.

If you’re doing something that you love doing, you’ll find a way to make it happen. All opportunity comes from the amount of effort you put into getting it! Thanks for reading and best of luck on your studies! Also Happy Anthropology Day! :)  -Lyss

Excerpt from this story from National Geographic:

Ever since college, when I’d read Peter Matthiessen’s book The Snow Leopard, I’d fixated on seeing one of these elusive creatures. Maybe because Matthiessen never did. In 1973 he and the legendary biologist George Schaller had spent two months hiking in Nepal and had seen signs of the cats—paw prints, scratch marks, scat—but never glimpsed one. At the time, Schaller was said to be one of only two Westerners who’d seen a wild snow leopard. In 1970 he’d taken what is believed to be the first photograph of a snow leopard in its natural habitat. For more than two decades, it would be the only such image known to exist of this solitary, obscure animal.

So it was profoundly ironic that as I finally was getting to see a snow leopard, the most prominent sound in my ear was the persistent whir of nearly two dozen cameras, capturing hundreds of images of the cat. On the cliff with Prasenjeet and me were tourists from around the world, most hunched over expensive telephoto lenses.

In the past few years, Kibber has become the place to see the cats with any predictability. But the journey is not for the faint of heart. The village is reachable only by a zigzagging, single-track road carved into impossibly steep mountains. And you must go in winter, when the snow leopards follow their prey to lower elevations, which means large stretches of the route are covered in snow and ice.

Their range extends across 12 Central Asian nations, covering 800,000 square miles of some of the harshest environments for humans. Lung-starving altitudes, frostbite-inducing temperatures, rugged, barren terrain—much of it inaccessible—all limit the amount and quality of scientific fieldwork.

In recent years a research team in Mongolia managed to put satellite collars on 32 snow leopards and learned much about the cats’ movements in the Tost Mountains of the Gobi desert. For example, an adult male there requires roughly 80 square miles of territory—an area about three and a half times the size of Manhattan—while a female needs about 48 square miles.

But such figures can’t be applied across the vast, diverse snow leopard range. The amount of land a cat needs in the high desert is likely different from what it needs in, say, Siberia. The availability of prey, proximity to humans, and other factors may increase or reduce the range it needs. The Snow Leopard Trust estimates that 3,500 to 7,000 snow leopards are on the planet, but Charu acknowledged that’s just an educated guess. “We’ve been able to study 1.5 percent of snow leopard habitat. We can’t really say how many there are.”

Do you remember when Rick and TF infiltrated one of the Saviors’ outpost (more specificall; the satellite)? What they did was exactly what Rick originally planned to do back in Season 5A when rescuing Beth and Carol from Grady. What do you think how things would’ve happened and went if TF executed Rick’s original plan when rescuing Beth and Carol? Would there any be casualties among TF? Would Beth be saved and finally escaped Grady? What do you think? The possibilities are endless.

The possibilities are definitely endless, but I tend to think things would have gone much worse in the long run if they'd have done that.

It's hard to see in an obvious way, because we still don't have those missing 17 days to point to, or confirmation of Beth's survival, yet. But remember the whole "it went the way it had to; the way it was always going to" line from 5x09? I believe they put that line in to show that, despite the appearances of her being killed, and the immense trauma TF went through over it, it's the only way she would have actually survived.

We know a little more now. It could be that the CRM were never going to let her leave alive for reasons we don't actually understand yet. So, if they'd tried to go in, guns blazing, she would have been killed for real, or else might have left with them, but then things would have gone terribly wrong later because they would have been pursued.

You can actually compare this to the satellite station in that it seemed to go well when TF first conducted the raid. Sure, Carol and Maggie were taken by Paula, but eventually they survived and escaped that as well. But that raid led directly to Glenn and Abraham's deaths, Daryl's emotional trauma, and everything else. So, even though things turned out well at first, it had immense, far-reaching ramifications, which included the deaths of beloved characters.

So, based on the theme and template of that, I think that things ultimately would have gone a lot worse if they'd have done the same thing at Grady.

Just my opinion and no way to prove it either way until we actually see Beth return, but as you all know, my hopes are uber-high. :D Thanks Nonny! Xoxo! 🍁💘

TD Clues in the S11 Preview Special

Hey Everyone!

Who watched the S11 preview show? I did, and there were actually some fairly heavy TD clues in it. (Yay!)

I only got to watch it once live, and didn’t have the option to record it, so I probably missed stuff. If anyone noticed anything I didn’t, feel free to send it in. I’ll focus on 3 major things that jumped out at me.

So, Angela Kang was in the studio with Chris Hardwick, but Norman was there only via satellite from Georgia.

@wdway​ noticed that the music box was still sitting on the shelf behind Angela, which was cool.

1. The first big clue we noticed came from Norman. Chris had asked him something like, how is this season was different from previous ones, or how has filming been different. Norman said everything was brighter and more colorful than usual. 

I think he probably means because of the Commonwealth. If you think of the CW sales video we saw in the coda of the trailer, everything looks new and clean and nice, and doesn’t have the bleak, dirty vibe of most of the rest of the show. Then he said (and I paraphrase) that a lot of it felt like they’d all “eaten the wrong mushrooms.” And by that, he means something hallucinatory. And that it seemed “like the Wizard of Oz.”

Yeah, massive hints going on there.

There has been a subtle but recurring mushroom theme in the show. It’s part of the overall hallucination theme, but goes back at least until S4 (you know, when Bethyl came from and center). It might be earlier than that, too, but that’s the earliest reference that comes to mind.

Either way, Norman is furthering the idea of hallucinations and things not being as they seem.

And then there’s the wizard of Oz reference. I’ve literally done entire theories on this (X), (X). We saw it around Beth at Grady and also around Rick right before the bridge incident, where he disappeared into the CRM. Because of the way it’s used in both cases, I think the Wizard of Oz motif is specifically about the CRM. Dorothy was transported away from her family and to a whole new world. The same thing happened to both Beth and Rick and both times they went to a community with ties to the CRM.

The hallucination theme is also present in TWOO. People have written whole essays about how trippy the whole thing is and how it feels like an acid trip for Dorothy. That’s not the way it’s written in the show, but of course this film came out in 1939. For Dorothy, it was an elaborate dream. But that just makes me think of episode 6x12 of Fear the Walking Dead where an almost identical thing happened with Grace and the episode is even called In Dreams.

And I’m not at all saying the CRM isn’t real. I’m just saying they’re using these things as themes and we saw them back in S5 around Beth. I’ll have more to say about this theme next week when I discuss episode 11x01.

2. The next thing that struck us as suspicious is that Chris asked Norman, with this being the final season, what does he want for Daryl? 

Norman replied that wants Daryl to find happiness and “what he’s looking for.” And he very clearly meant emotionally. You could argue that he meant romantically but it could also just be in terms of life and familial relationships.

But you could also argue that he already has most of that. He has strong family and community relationships. He’s helping raise two kids. (In fact, very small spoiler for 11x01: at one point Daryl returns to Alexandria and we see both Judith and RJ run out and hug him. It’s very sweet. The point is, he pretty much IS their father for the time being.) And he has closer “family” relationships with those he’s closest to: Maggie, Michonne, Carol, Aaron.

So, the only thing he’s truly missing is the romantic element.

@wdway​ also pointed out that the way Norman said it, it very much feels like something futuristic. Something he currently doesn’t have in his life. (Sorry Caryl and Donnie shippers.)

So yeah. That, and the “what he’s looking for” wording definitely made us side-eye.

3. Finally, near the end, we saw a sneak peek that comes from 11x02, and Dog enters a Dark Tunnel. 

The sneak peak is Daryl and Dog, alone together in the subway tunnels. Daryl finds a walker rolled up inside a sleeping bag, which he kills, and then Dog starts barking at something and runs away from Daryl, into a small, dark side tunnel.

So, the dark tunnel symbolism is HUGE around Beth and I’ve got theories about Dark Tunnel symbolism that are YEARS old (X).

And, until next week when everyone sees 11x01 and I’m safe to talk about it, you’ll just have to take my word for this, but they’re definitely using an S4/S5 Beth template for Dog this season. We already know from what’s been released about the season that Dog and Daryl will get separated and he’ll go looking for Dog. We already knew that. But when you see 11x01, it becomes even more evident.

So, Dog heading into a dark tunnel just backs up the Beth template even more.

But then, when they came back to TTD after the sneak peek, Norman started singing a song. Okay, I have no idea what it was. I didn’t recognize the tune and he did it very quickly. (If anyone knows what it was, let me know.) Chris clearly recognized it and started laughing, razzing Norman about how of all the songs he could possibly have parodied, he used that one. So, the lyrics weren’t real. Norman was making them up, overall.

But wanna know what lyrics he sang? He said (once again, I paraphrase) something like, “When Doggy goes into the tunnel, I know things are serious.”

So, he not only emphasized the importance of Dog entering the dark tunnel, he actually turned it into a serious/Sirius/return reference.

Me:  😲

Okay, those were the three big things that jumped out at me. 1) Hallucination/Mushroom/Wizard of Oz references. Yes, all in one sentence. 2) Daryl finding happiness and “what he’s looking for.” 3) Dog in the tunnel = Sirius.

As I said at the beginning, there were probably other, smaller things I missed, but these were the ones that made me super happy.

Thoughts?
