Pffft, big deal. They have oodles of ancient skeletons sitting upright in the US. It's called Congress!! Heyooooooooo!
It would be funny if it wasn't the truth.
“Being an archaeologist can be a very frustrating profession,” she added.
Came to post that. Ouch.

Found near the Josephine Baker school.
For the Americans who weren't taught their own history.
TBF it seems most of her history in the US was in entertainment and wearing a skirt made of fake bananas. Not really required learning. Her real activity seems to have taken place in France working with the French Resistance and civil rights, and unfortunately her civil rights work here was overshadowed by MLK.
Not . . . sure that’s how history works tho
Now if you can figure out why a great American's work MOSTLY happened in France, you might actually understand why you didn't learn about her in school.
Don’t think you’re catching me out. It was understood the instant I read about her. TF is wrong with you, you go straight to being insulting.
Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?

What the F. For what I am? Blocked. What is it with Lemmy the last couple days and these deliberately insulting assholes?
Have you considered the possibility that you are just a moron?
Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe take your own advice?
You were insulting in tone when you didn't have to be. That's from an unbiased observer.
Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?
Why? Are you that desperate for validation?
You seem really interested in having your opinion heard so I was giving you an avenue to share it. You certainly don't have to. I am not in charge of how you want to spend your time.

Reminds me an old story.
Two monks live on opposite sides of a lake.
One day the monk on the East bank sends the other a letter. "I am firm and unmovable. I am like a boulder with my roots set deep in the Earth."
West bank sends back a note. One word. "Fart."
Enraged, the East bank monk climbs into his boat and rows across to demand satisfaction.
West bank meets him with a smile. "You claim to be firm and unmovable, but I can get you to fly across the lake with a single fart."
In other words, you funny
See, you have a lot of things to think about submitting for tomorrow!
That's the best you can come up with?
Going to a rule you already broke?
You just aren't worthy of my attention.
And when I say I'm done, I'm done.
I know it's not funny or clever, but you just aren't worth the minor effort.
So glad I merit so much effort from you!
Wow, she was an amazing person. Thank you for drawing attention to our deficit
Glad to see the youth getting involved with science...
Children at a primary school in eastern France found a strange attraction next to their playground this week: a skeleton sitting upright, peeking out of a circular pit.
Call off Scoob and the gang, we found our suspects!
The Egyptians had no word for dying, they just said “going West”.
Not sure how true that is, but i remember it for whatever reason.
Given that most/many ancient cultures had a good handle on astronomy, it would make sense if they associated west with death. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it makes some logical sense to associate the east with beginnings of things and the west with endings
"A good handle on astronomy" in this context meaning: observing which in direction the sun goes down.
I mean, if i lay down for hours at a time i gotta sit up to stretch every now and then so i get it.

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...
