Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I've always found the Hittite laws so fun because they try really hard to be very specific but without the full context and looking at them thousands of years later it's the "that just raises further questions!" scene from Futurama. I remember reading lots of them in a Hittite course and every day would be just sounding out these ridiculous laws word by laborious word. I'm sad that it was all in transliteration though, cuneiform is fascinating.

This crowd would be very welcome on breadnroses.net I think, there's a Bread (not fully poo poo posting) side "pseudointellectual navel gazing" forum that already has a history thread

Discussing prehistory is hosed because if you don't have journal access you really can't do much larnin' about archaeology.

Yeah I mean their main rule is basically don't be an rear end in a top hat, so I think if someone is trying to drag a thread off course with personal attacks then it's not going to be tolerated.
