Too bad it would never happen on the history channel, it involves history.

They can always claim it’s aliens. And then translate it all, with the people’s names, and keep claiming it’s aliens.

I visited a 17,000 year old cave painting site in France, and the whole walk into the cave there are modern day graffiti signatures like “Bob, 1992” etc. but then you start to notice that the years go back further and further…1827…1761…1597. Then you get to the old cave art and it kind of feels like a continuation of the same shit, just some people leaving their scribbles on a rock like they have been probably since they discovered how to do it.

I always liked how archaeologists would dig up ancients statues of big-breasted and big-butted women and call them evidence of a “cult of fertility”. I guess that sounds better than “porn”.
TheBrideWoreCrimson@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which, over ages and ages, has been optimized to take the convenient shape of a sock.
SanndyTheManndy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I never quite understood that. Why a sock? Why not anything else?

There’s a pyramid with hieroglyphics carved onto the side that roughly translate to “This End Up”

The not so famous pyramid of Packanghamen.

I had a book of graffiti, one of them was described as an arrow written up a wall next to a urinal up to the ceiling where a message read “by the time you’ve read this message, you have pissed on your shoes.”

My favorite was “a sucking chest wound is Nature’s Way of telling you you’ve been in a firefight”.

Man has felt the need to leave his mark on this world since the very beginning. Not likely to ever change
MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
Nowadays though, we (or some of us at least) wish to leave less of a mark.
portuga@lemmy.world 2 days ago
People think humanity is so much more evolved now but it has been actually the same shit from thousands ago or whenever recorded history goes back.
Also: portuga was here
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Millions of years, likely. The whole reason we’re successful is because our pre-human ancestors were empathetic and cooperative enough to build societies.
We see those same traits in many other primates, and they’re not something it makes sense to evolve, lose, and evolve again. Those traits predate us.
Language almost certainly predates us, since we see it not only in other primates, but in non-primate species, too. And based on the humour we see in many animals, you can bet we were making dick jokes nearly out of the gate.
P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Societies weren’t built on empathy, they were built on security. Not just physical security but food as well. No society in history was built on empathy, ever.
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Our ancestors’ brains went from chimpanzee-sized to modern-sized (actually slightly bigger than today) between two million and one million years ago, and more importantly the language-governing areas increased in size during that stretch. So human beings a million years ago were very much like us today, just without the advanced technology.

Probably not “Marcus is gay” since they didn’t have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.

Weep, you girls. My penis has given you up. Now it penetrates men’s behinds. Goodbye, wondrous femininity!
Amplicatus, I know that Icarus is buggering you. Salvius wrote this.
Theophilus, don’t perform oral sex on girls against the city wall like a dog
I have buggered men
Secundus likes to screw boys.
If anyone sits here, let him read this first of all: if anyone wants a screw, he should look for Attice; she costs 4 sestertii.

They really understate Mozart. My favourite scatalogical composition of his is “Lick My Ass Right Well and Clean” where he compares his ass to nicely buttered roast meat: en.wikipedia.org/…/Leck_mir_den_Arsch_fein_recht_…

I learned in my scandinavian class in college that they dug up a nordic tavern ruin, and inside found a stick with carved runes on it. When translated, it said something to the effect of “HELGA SAYS COME HOME RIGHT NOW.”

Humans have always been, and always will be, garbage.
qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 days ago
This isn’t garbage, this is good banter.
A bored guy engraving runes at an height of 3.8 meters just to mess with the next guy reading it, an artist or worker sculpting his name into a work, ordered by the class in power (church) just to give the finger to the clergy, Mozart creating a piece to get revenge on the rich class that held him prisoner to work on what was asked to him instead of having liberty to create as he pleased…
Good, old fashioned, rebellion.
turtlepower@lemm.ee 2 days ago
I’m talking about the destructive graffiti. That’s not rebellion, that’s shitting things up. It’s why we can never have nice things—because some asshole(s) just have to destroy shit. I love good street art, but that shit is just marking shit up to be an ass. And if you think that shit’s ok, you’re an ass, too.

I liked the story about the “very high” runes and so I found a source. Apparently, the writing was “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up”.
