  • One of my favorite archaeology stories comes from a Reddit AMA waaay back over a decade ago, there was this girl who was on an archaeological expedition somewhere in the Middle East and they had unearthed a bunch of ancient honey jars. Honey, famously, never goes bad, and their professor said that if anyone wanted to try some, they could. Most didn’t, but she did- lo and behold, tasted very much like normal honey.

    Months later when they were back in the states they had performed some tests on the honey and realized that these jars had originally contained stillborn fetuses, a now known practice, which had dissolved into the honey over the millennia. So she had eaten human fetus honey.

    I know it sounds made up but she was a legit archaeologist and could back it up with names and dates and shit, though I’m hazy on the details.














  • I don’t know, some cuts of human woked with spring onions and served with soy sauce and rice doesn’t sound too bad. I mean, I’ve eaten some pretty dodgy cuts of meat in my life, I can’t imagine human would taste much worse. There’s too many of us anyway, I wouldn’t mind feasting on human flesh every full moon or so. But only free range, none of that factory farm shit, I want them to have lived a normal life or else it’s just barbaric.




  • My belief is that it’s a bunch of scholars mocking the powers-that-were. Like, they were assigned their tasks, they had to do this boring shit, they had to copy this and that, but some bombastic ruler or whatnot was full of hot air and claiming to be God’s representative on Earth or whatever, just basically dumb Trump shit, and this was their way of calling bullshit. Like, yeah, we have to portray you as the second coming, but, well, we’re gonna do it with butts.

    Very tentative of course, not dying on this hill. But likewise, I think the knights on snails thing is like, satire, clever people who knew that whichever prince or baron was promising to destroy the evil enemies of wherever-the-fuck was just spewing bullshit to garner support when in reality he was just prolonging it forever because he had neither the means nor intent to do any such thing- giving rise to these images of valiant knights that were simultaneously heroic and amazing in every way yet for some reason never actually accomplished shit.
