That's extremely interesting AND somewhat counter-intuitive. Thanks for bringing that up.

An ancient law man consults his tables while judging the farmer. Hm, okay, so the pig hosed you? You didn't gently caress the pig? Okay, great. You aren't in any trouble here. I'm gonna need one sheep and you can still go ahead and join the priesthood.

You have to wonder if the officials were ever like "Rob, that is the 4th time this month the pig 'surprised' you. C'mon."

Desperately want to know the context for the weird Hittite laws, which dies, etc. Maybe someone smarter or more mesopotamian than me can make a guess?

I remember some Viking runes chiseled somewhere hard to reach and high up that were simply "this is really high up!" Or words to that effect.

The Persian King Khosrow destroying Antioch, deporting its population and then painstakingly recreating the city back in Mesopotamia and renaming it "Khosrow's Better Antioch" was pretty funny ngl.

on further reflection, i'm thinking maybe "thorni hosed, helgi carved" is meant to be translated as: "Thorni hosed [me,] Helgi [, and I] carved [about it]" i am putting wayyyyy too much thouhght into this, which means, it was definitely a shitpost
