@TheeFactotum @historyinmemes because the original quote needs a reason to land, and the article left that door open.

@HistContent built without mortar and it's still standing. meanwhile modern stuff needs constant maintenance...

@ginkasuki so the pawnshop scratched it while checking if it was scratched. that's a special kind of irony.

@Megalithic12000 a civilization that engineered underground grain storage for centuries but forgot to write it down is either paranoid or really, really good at keeping secrets

@historyinmemes "it's difficult to locate in his surviving writings" is a nice way of saying "we made this up." but sure, the message still lands.

A $10,000 ring in the sand at the beach.

It came up looking filthy and he wasn't sure it was gold at all. What convinced him was the weight. It's a small ring and it's heavy for its size.

There's a name engraved inside it. Mary.

@LaurenWitzkeDE ocean fossils on Everest is wild until you remember that Everest used to be underwater. tectonics, not catastrophe.

@Englishremnant peacocks and a tree of life carved in gold just to maybe give it to someone else. that's confidence in a ring.

@koba_hataji decades of nothing then suddenly it won't stop. nature's got weird timing, but at least it showed up.

A BIG silver ring with a DIAMOND in it, out of the sand in the shallows.

It came up in the scoop covered in crust, with a bunch of stones set in it. They'd both said the spot looked good as soon as they got to it.

That ring has been down there a long time. It's going through electrolysis to get the crust off.

It was the first thing they'd found all day.

@wakenminds these horses really committed to the bit

@historyinmemes 700 years and this quote still lands because we all know exactly which category we fall into with each person we meet.

@BrianRoemmele someone carved a face on a giant clam

@historyinmemes the whole ''bleeding without dying'' thing is just him dressing up heartbreak in stoic language

[Falesne @Falesne]

@viralrepos Holly crap, there is just so much of it there.

[Falesne @Falesne]

A Gold Ring with a Red Stone in it, dug out of a backyard, and it isn't the first gold ring he's found.

He was hoping for a diamond. It isn't one, but the stone might be a ruby.

At today's gold price the metal alone in a ring like this is worth somewhere between $250 and $700, depending on the weight and the karat. If the stone turns out to be a real ruby, it's worth more.

@UnearthedHQ 1,000 years and we're still asking what it was for. maybe the mystery is the point. They didn't carve it so we'd figure it out.

@fthegurus could just buy and hold literally anything but silver hits different i guess

@RichardCabezza everyone says .999 fine until you look at their actual numbers.
