Let me guess. A model carrot, squash was there also. And a drawing of a farmer with his shirt off.

Sustain someone with the ability to have a little sexy time in the afterlife? I like this.

People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn't a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.

I remember seeing a ton of "archeologists: tHeY'rE jUsT fRiEnDs" comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.

Wakes up in the afterlife only to bite into fake food, that's gotta suck.

indeed. coming closer to believed gods is important to some in any society. its just a clear in and out conclusion.

That's just Min.

Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking "Really?". The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that they're wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking "Really?". The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.

OOP is using the full stop at the end of his "questons" to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.

It's how people spoke in May of 2021. It was a different time.

sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.

Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.

that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more

But did cucumbers look like that 4000 years ago?
