Here's a research hole for you - look to see if the late neolithic tribes in western France migrated to central Algeria (a wetland at the time) and later were the source of the Atlantis myth after a mud volcano to the south erupted. That's enough to start on, oh, here's a clue to get you going - look to see where the Clovis point stone spearhead migrated to around that time. Obviously you'll need to read the Plato mythology on it too, the Pillars of Hercules were considered to be between Sicily and Africa at the time the original myth was written, not Gibraltar. There's also gentic data on Europedia that can help, it's the later (post 30,000bce) mtDNA X that you'll need to follow. If you assume that the population in Africa got mostly wiped out in roughly 9850bce (aside from a few Berbers that have mtDNA X) you can see that the survivors migrated to the Levant and Greece. Old Sparta was certainly one of those colonies. And Gobekli Tepi as well. Only do this is you enjoy the torture though, it's a very deep hole. Just ignore anything written after the Greek about it though.

I think this is important as it shows how a single person's incompetency can spread misinformation for literally hundreds of years. This is a small thing but how many of these small things are there out there that end up changing the total narrative either through this same level of incompetency or intentionally? The idea is so fascinating to me that it almost makes me wish I took up history.

@mrahzzz Год назад

Right!!?? Makes me really interested in theory of information and communication. We see it in things like childhood games of "telephone," in common misconceptions, etc, but we give too much credit that things will get shaken out and that sources speak from a place of professional practice or well studied confidence, when in reality misinformation is so easy to spread... Suuuper interesting.

@djeity 2 года назад

Hearne was far from alone, and his practices and attitude persisted until at least the early 1900s. I have made a minor study of armour (the kind you wear) and quite a few of the most popular Victorian-era sources are, shall we say, hilariously wrong. I suspect that at least part of this is because, these days, we have much readier access to information than at any previous time in history. I am speaking of the free availability of public museums and libraries-of-record, not the Internet, although that too is a combined boon and curse. Many of the worst Victorian sources are tertiary sources (at best), which should underline for you Grey's insistence on primary sources in his research.

@ASerpentPerplexed 2 года назад

To explain the "joke" of the Tiffany poem: Rhyming nicknames were a super common thing back in those days (Richard->Rich->Rick->Dick). Getting words to rhyme was hilarious, because they didn't have Netflix comedy specials. There isn't really a "joke", it's just that they got some words to rhyme, and that's supposed to make you smile a little bit during a time when medicine was also poison and sanitation in Europe was drinking water from the same river you pooped in. It's kind of like how the newspaper comic strip "Mutts" contains no jokes 99% of the time, but it's cute so it puts a smile on people's faces and that's valid.

It may actually provide far greater value than you realize.

Grey is relatively lucky here. For a researcher, you'll often be frustrated by sloppy scholarship that allows inaccuracies to be written down as truth.

The only problem with immortality is that the human mind really isn't equipped to comprehend its implications. Even our sun has a finite lifespan, and we can't live without it. What happens when the sun goes red giant, possibly incinerating the earth (and definitely making it uninhabitable) in the process?
