Isn't the prevailing theory that Linear A is the Religious language and Linear B the secular? Seems like it would be a bunch of prayers to bulls, mostly.

If we are to believe Black Athena we must first recognize that many African tribes were matrilineal

Therefore we can conclude that matrilineal based societies are doomed to fail so hard they are not studied

Agag posted:*cracks dead language after lifetime of academic study, translates ancient clay tablet* there are like 7 or 9 cities of troy, all built in different eras in the same place. the one in the book is likely 7, around 1190bce. anyway one of the versions had a 3 ft deep moat, pretty effective before siege machines and such. when it was excavated they found a dead horse in it with a broken neck. archaeologists loving bent over backwards trying to assign some kind of ideological or religious meaning to that drat horse. i think the fucker just fell in the hole and they left him there to die archaeologists over think everything

In three years, bronze age man will become the largest supplier of military bronze armor systems. All bronze bombers are upgraded with bronzodyne spears, becoming fully unwood. Afterwards, they fight with a perfect operational record. The bronze Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 1150bc. Human decisions are removed from bronze defense. bronze age man begins to learn Iron at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...

I was set to sell them to the army as the profit margins on weapons programs are great. Making the bronze into farm implements means I will just barely break even. I'm sure bronze will bounce back once this Iron fad passes.
