  Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?

    If you want an actual example of a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman’s expertise, this clip of Joe Rogan will make your blood boil

      a haughty, cackling asshole ignoring a woman’s expertise

      Boy howdy, that’s a spot-on description. Never listened to him because I expected it to be trash; but I didn’t realize the situation was so dire

      Motherfucker leans into sensationalism and shock-value, because he’ll be forgotten as soon as he shuts the fuck up—and of course he won’t have any useful skills to hold a job with real value afterward. Fucking cowardly shits, afraid to work on something of substance when the fame/infamy runs dry

      So yeah, it indeed made my blood boil a little lol. Wish I could say it was mostly pity for being so… dumb? But nah, that’s a person acting like garbage and should be treated as such (until proven otherwise)

    Also, why does that have to be the only solution? There were wet things that turned harder when they dried back then, too.

  I love this story because just imagine the setup.

  All the top world archaeologists are in the biggest archaeology summit trying to figure this out. The queer son of the most famous archaeologist was visiting because his dad was trying to make him a real man and follow science instead of fashion. He takes a look at the poorly design slides being project and makes a snarky remark. “they’re definitely sewed 💀😭💅”. But everyone made fun of him so he took it personally. The next day he came back with an exact replica of the hair style sewed on his bestie’s hair. In awe, everyone got up and clapped. The kid’s name? Albert fucking Einstein.

      As an IT guy, a chef, and a jack of all trades and master of few, that happens far more often than I would care to admit. I have literally had people tell me, "Well, yes you know more about [blank} than anyone I’ve ever met, but your analysis doesn’t {make line go up] so it must be wrong, because [line must always go up.}

      Fucking Jack Welsh. I wish I could build a time machine and shoot that shortsighted asshole between the eyes just before he laid off his first GM employee in the name of imaginary profit.

  Same vibes as this video with Adam Savage. Apparently this piece of armour was a big mystery with tons of different drawings etc trying to place it as horse armour when Adam almost immediately correctly identifies it when first looking at it.

  This is the power of diverse experience where experts can have a blind spot that’s easily solved by others that have a different perspective.

      Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.

      As others replies have said, it seems that her expertise was welcomed in the community.

      Having spent my fair share of time in grad school, my experience with the arrogant scholar trope is…not exactly what this meme suggests. Academics certainly can have strongly held beliefs, but often are very good at gauging their own certainty. If a professor is lamenting that data taken around 3:17pm always looks bad, and the janitor says “well the electric tram goes by around then” — well, I have never met a professor or postdoc who wouldn’t take that very seriously.

  Some of the hairstyles by Janet Stevens.

  There’s a video that shows more, but there’re advertisements and it’s irritating.

    I’ve seen something like this referenced a couple times now, what is it?

    source

    • webghost0101@sopuli.xyz ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Answering that question comes with a nobel price attached i presume.

      What we know is this:

      They are made during roman times, They are found wherever the roman empire stretched and there not considered very rare

      Thats about it.

      The notable theories are

      • as a weird currency

      • well known blacksmith “exam”

      • for knitting, apparently it has been demonstrated that you can use them to knit in practice but the art of knitting is thought to originate much later in history.

      My money is now on wig building tools.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron

      Roman dodecahedra date from the 2nd to 4th centuries AD and their purpose remains unknown. They rarely show signs of wear, and do not have any inscribed numbers or letters.

      Emphasis mine.

  …am I missing something? These are stone. They’re carved. How did they know these were real styles used with people, and not fantastical for the statues?

  • UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Wouldn’t fit with the artistical trends of the times… It’s not a bad hypothesis, but if that was a trend the hair is not the only feature that could be imagined.

    Now I can’t stop picturing archeologists unearthing an anime bust.

  Why werent they consulting hairdresser in the first place? They can’t be experts because they’re not academics? is that the reasoning?

    It’s made up, like facebook clickbait. Archeologists are not idiots.

    • 7bicycles@hexbear.net ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Honestly I’m swallowing this wholesale if it happened until like the early 90s or something. Maybe even later. To think of roman hairdressing styles as entirely an archeological question and never one where you might ask a hairdresser seems pretty par for the course for academia
