Oooh so they were doing the Commissioned art style where the eye is black and the pupil is white and I guess the little pearl inlays or whatever they used for the pupils are missing now?

watching a documentary about this loony genius russian scientist who argues among other things that savage native humans were too stupid to realize they were hunting the mammoths to extinction and abruptly realized that despite this being presented as a wacky moonbat theory the predominant theory for how the american megafauna died has always been because savage native humans were too stupid to realize they were hunting them to extinction

On the one side is the idea that humans hunted the mammoth to extinction, the other side says that the actual important factor was climate change that impacted the habitats of mammoth (and other animals), with human hunting being a secondary pressure. Honestly I do think it's possible that humans hunted american megafauna to death. People love to hunt species to death. We do it a lot, all the time. There's a decent amount of discussion of this in the book 1491 Casey Finnigan has issued a correction as of 20:52 on May 7, 2022 |

i remember reading about the dutch making weird looking ships to avoid paying the sound toll to denmark, but i can't find anything about it. long story short, passing thru the sound you payed based on the width of the ship, measured at the middle, so the dutch made an hour-glass shaped boat. am i misremembering this?

Wikipedia says pear-shaped Dutch "Fluyt" ships could carry more cargo because they weren't designed to be converted to warships, and the tax evasion bit is a myth, but Wikipedia says a lot of things

Barely related to that but apparently one way the Danes prevented traders trying to cheat their way out of paying toll was if they suspected a ship was holding more cargo than it claimed, they reserved the right to buy the whole cargo. Presumably paying just for what the ship claimed to be carrying.

That has to have happened. I really hope there's records of it. Reading into it a little smuggling was rampant, as I guess you'd expect. Officials didn't have enough manpower to stop it, they had low pay and little respect so they weren't hard to win over. You could easily have someone bring your goods overland and pick them up again once you were through the sound, have goods brought on board at night or have some local fishermen help you. Lots of ways to cheat the king of Denmark if you put your mind to it. Grevling has issued a correction as of 11:41 on May 16, 2022 |

 The “Oldest Gold Of Mankind” was found in the Varna Necropolis, on The Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. The Varna Necropolis (also known as Varna Cemetery) is a large burial site in the western industrial zone of Varna. It is internationally considered to be one of the key archaeological sites in world prehistory. It was at this site that the oldest worked gold treasure in the world was discovered, dating from 4,600 BC to 4,200 BC. A total of 294 graves dating between 4569-4340 BC have been discovered at Varna Necropolis so far, including three thousand gold artifacts. While there were many elite burials uncovered, there was one in particular that stood out among the rest – grave 43. Here, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a high-status male who appears to have been a ruler/leader of some kind. More gold was found within this burial than in the entire rest of the world in that period.
