There once was a woman who walked into Europe’s oldest archives
and found sacred Aztec and Mixtec texts mislabeled as “curiosities,” locked in drawers, untouched for centuries.

She wasn’t a professor.
She wasn’t invited.
She wasn’t supposed to find them.

But she did and everything changed.

Hugh Hefner reportedly notified the FBI that a Playboy Playmate was sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and others in his orbit. Court records state Hefner was told by then-Playboy Playmate Audra Christiansen in 2005 that she was an Epstein survivor and requested the Playboy founder call the FBI, arguing he would have more status than her with the authorities. Hefner allegedly called the FBI several times with the tip, who didn’t investigate the claim for 15 years, according to court documents. NewsNation’s @DianaFalzone reports.

@CatoLiang @DD_Geopolitics That would mean accepting defeat and Trump won't let himself look weak during midterm elections. Our best hope is that Democrats get elected and end this war, but I doubt even they'd end it. I hope you're right and the US ends the war soon, but I expect it to drag on

Incarcerated for Life in Trump’s War on the Left

Autumn Hill had already gone home when a protest outside an ICE facility in Texas turned violent.

She was still sentenced to 50 years in prison, over twice as long as any Jan. 6 defendant.

They cut roughly 10 feet off an ancient Native American mound in the Mississippi Delta and built a mansion on top of what remained.

The mound is still 26 feet tall.

Mont Helena might be the most American-looking archaeological site I’ve ever seen.

Israeli raids and settler attacks are intensifying across the occupied West Bank, with Palestinians reporting demolitions, injuries and growing fears of further escalation.

Rare accounts from former child soldiers shed light on the use of children and the role of Colombian mercenaries in Sudan’s civil war. The children tell the AP they were chained to anti-aircraft guns and beaten when they refused orders. https://t.co/nhw5gjPV5P

@ParvumPrincipi @JohnPau82740260 The first written use of the word Aethiopia is credited to Homer, 400 years before Heroditus

They said Spider-Man was a fake story.

Until they found the ruins of New York, exactly where the story said it was.

@qyld1234 @ParvumPrincipi Aethiopia was a general term for dark skinned people that vaguely correlated to the area where modern Sudan and Ethiopia are. Eastern Aethiopia referred to South Asia

@JohnPau82740260 @ParvumPrincipi In the Icelandic Sagas the Icelanders sail "south" to Norway, when they are actually sailing south east. You kind of have to take geography as described by ancient sources with a grain of salt. Homer didn't have Google maps, bro

[Platanos S. Fritos @Salsa_Footprntz]

@JohnPau82740260 @ParvumPrincipi Homer is the first written example of the term Aethiopia but that doesn't mean he was the first Greek to know about it. Western Aethiopians were sub-Saharan Africans and Eastern Aethiopians were South Asians, ie, dark skinned people at the edges of the known world

@WOLFSHIELDfilms Not all Romans were white. What's with all the historical white washing this week

@JebraFaushay Ever heard of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom? It was a Greek state in Central Asia. It came later than the era of the Odyssey but the Greeks had connections to Central Asia before the Bactrians

@anthroepicist @DamianChavezArt @amayor You're into neo paganism and seem a bit antisemitic. Not the best look if you're not fashy

[Platanos S. Fritos @Salsa_Footprntz]

@anthroepicist @DamianChavezArt @amayor Are you a nazi? You seem kinda fashy tbh

[Platanos S. Fritos @Salsa_Footprntz]

@anthroepicist @DamianChavezArt @CJStudio25 @amayor I think myths are based on truths, but not literal reality

[Platanos S. Fritos @Salsa_Footprntz]

@anthroepicist @DamianChavezArt @CJStudio25 @amayor Probably about as likely as Jesus Christ being a real person. It's hard to prove historical accuracy from stories passed down orally
