Yeah it's two things: A there aren't that many people really committed all the way to the more radical Afrocentric historical ideas, and B the people who are are not going to care about dna evidence. They've already got ideas about how that is bullshit that are probably pretty impervious.

Given how short they are why don't viking longships get pwned by the first wave of any substantial size?

Baron Porkface posted:Given how short they are why don't viking longships get pwned by the first wave of any substantial size? Viking longship comes in different sizes. Knarr longships, made for atlantic travels were ~ 50 feet long and 15 wide. These were shorter than the traditional longships we usually think of, but still not that small. As for why they didnt get pwed by waves, it has a lot to do with the way the ship was constructed. Im at work snd phone posting so i wont go into details, but the construction techniques they used made the longships better and lighter than other ships of their time. Im pretty sure wikipedia actually has good info on it.

Also, mostly (Vinland excepted, obvs) they were travelling the fairly short distance from Scandinavia to Britain/France/Ireland. It's not the Pacific or the middle of the Atlantic or anything.

Sometimes you get drunk and have a good time. Sometimes you get drunk, hallucinate that there are two suns in the sky, become obsessed with the fantasy that women are having orgies in the hills outside the city, and then your mom tears your head off. Wine's a hell of a drug.

Bacchus isn't just wine, Bacchus is all the evil things people do under a "religious" spell. If you want to just have a fun wine diety you've got Libera. Bacchus embraces way more dark poo poo.

Dionysus is more dark than evil, and not really any worse than any of the other gods. And if you follow the Orphic mysteries, he's basically Jesus but with even more alcohol. I can understand how the tight-arsed Romans could have problems with him though.

And if you follow the Orphic mysteries, he's basically Jesus but with even more alcohol. I always saw him as a classic alcoholic, lewd grin, saggy gait, the works. He's a suffering god like Demeter, but also incorporates the good traits of intoxication, which could be goodwill among men and promoting civilization.

Greetings from Kerkyra, where the presence of southern italy is felt greatly. Actually I just mean trashheaps in the streets and everything being run down. Even the cats here look scruffy. The island itself is actually quite mountainous and green. Nice place to go for a hike. Pretty old olive trees all over

Libluini posted:Now this makes me wonder if some of those weird stone-CDs used to store important data for the future will include some social stuff, or if future archaeologists will think we were a dour, completely funless society of robots, since everything they can find are those "important" data depots. The fun stuff like YouTube or Facebook better be included in our underground archives. This reminds me of the first time I had a course that dealt with Visigothic Spain, and the Professor started off a lecture by saying that because the main primary source we have from Visigothic Spain was their law codes, people have often assumed that the Visigoths were dour, serious, dull, and strict. Modern Western countries wouldn't come off very well if all that survived from us were our law codes.
