Hegar

textual info, though. Like, something you can read.

I think they probably do, but like other early forms of record keeping, the focus definitely seems to be numbers. IIRC there are some knots that just don't look like numbers.

The Chinese also used knots to record details of events, not just numbers, but the system that is used to decode the knots was complex enough that it functioned like a cipher - without already knowing how they did it, there's just no way you'd be able to work it out.

I can't recall the details but I think it's covered in the Ancient Americas video on the khipu on youtube.

I can't believe you're censoring Baathist voices. So much for the tolerant global military hegemon.

If this was in the US, I'd say they're creating a permission structure to allow a raging misogynist to feel justified in voting to acquit, hoping that there's one of those on the jury. When a long shot is your best shot, you take it. At least when your job requires ignoring truth and ethics.

We had magic mirrors and magic fans for centuries tho.

We've had solar and wind electricity generation for centuries?

• Go to Teotihuacan to see how non/hierarchical it was, maybe trip balls if the opportunity presents itself.

• Go to Harappa or Mahenjo Daro and see how indus seals were used.

• Kindly ask the Minoans if that topless lady holding the snakes is in charge.

Burning down your house doesn't poison people thousands of years later, so it's not a perfect analogy.

Plus we have magic mirrors and magic fans that do the same thing as the magic rocks just way cheaper.

It's not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they're more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.

So either medical, emotional or social. 🤷

The kennedy clan are known to be very protective of their reputation, hence being so reluctant to speak out about the insane russian asset in the family.

I'm going to enjoy watching their family name associated with the largest rise in preventable deaths in american history. At least until I contract polio.

I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places

Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.

I messaged it to you. Please report back if you remain alive and internetted.

"Fear coded" is an interesting construction. That is easier to say than "betrays a fear based thought process", which is what it sounds like to me. Different enough from something like 'fearful thinking' that I can see why it would be used.

The Pleiadian stuff is just too much nonsense for me to want to understand anything used in that context.

I searched just 'pleiadian' on google and got both an 'About' and the 3rd result linking to a misspelled PDF on IRS.gov about "ancier& extraterrestrials" Um what? I've never been so tempted to click a link that I know I shouldn't click.
