@senordonpedro Var að fikta í símanum, gleraugnalaus. Triggerwarninglausar útbrotamyndir valda meiri bruna en eldamennska nokkurn tímann. Er enn í sjokki.

I am both an American and a Cultural Anthropologist who specializes in semiotics and religion.

I do not understand what is going on in this flag.

At all.

@thordisg Framsókn byrjaði með woke-ið á Íslandi. SÍS flutti inn hrákaffið í fyrsta sojalattebollann. True story.

Hey @europcariceland, það svarar enginn í neyðarsímanum hjá ykkur. Minivan frá ykkur bilaði skyndilega skammt frá Vík. Heilt fótboltalið er þarna úti í vegkannti í myrkrinu og það næst ekki í neinn.

In 1731 King Frederick I of Sweden was gifted a lion, one of the first lions in Scandinavia. When the lion died shortly after, it was given to a taxidermist and this was the end product. The taxidermist and the museum keepers had never actually seen a lion before, and did not know how they were supposed to look. As a result, the resulting mount was especially anatomically inaccurate, most apparent in its face.

Kudos á Knorozov og köttinn en þetta er samt Robbie Williams.

Yuri Knorozov was a Soviet linguist who deciphered the Mayan script in 1953. He had a habit of listing his Siamese cat Asya as a co-author to many of his works; however, his editors would always remove her. Knorozov would also use this photo with Asya as his official author photo and would get upset whenever his editors would crop her out.

Deciphering the Mayan script was extremely challenging because there was no Rosetta Stone to provide translations into other languages. The only clues that remained were from Mayan stelae (stone monuments) that were scattered throughout several different ruins.

Knorozov worked in isolation in the Soviet Union and was able to make major advancements without ever stepping foot in Central America. His breakthrough was rejecting the notion that the Maya glyphs were based on an alphabet but rather a syllabary (a set of written characters representing syllables).

When Knorozov published his work, he was attacked and dismissed by several prominent academics, most notably, J. Eric S. Thompson, a British scholar who believed that the Mayan script was anti-phonetic and based on ideographic principles. It also did not help that Knorozov published his research during the height of the Cold War when Western scholars were quick to dismiss the works of Soviet scholars as being tainted by Marxist ideology.

It took decades for Knorozov to finally receive the recognition he deserved. One of Knorozov's earliest supporters was an American Anthropology professor at Yale by the name of Michael D. Coe who would later go on to write, "Yuri Knorozov, a man who was far removed from the Western scientific establishment and who, prior to the late 1980s, never saw a Mayan ruin nor touched a real Mayan inscription, had nevertheless, against all odds, made possible the modern decipherment of Maya hieroglyphic writing."
