Lee DunaAncient skeleton unearthed in France is latest to be found sitting upright
givesomefucksGlad to see the youth getting involved with science…
Children at a primary school in eastern France found a strange attraction next to their playground this week: a skeleton sitting upright, peeking out of a circular pit.
Call off Scoob and the gang, we found our suspects!

Found near the Josephine Baker school.
For the Americans who weren’t taught their own history.
RememberTheApollo_TBF it seems most of her history in the US was in entertainment and wearing a skirt made of fake bananas. Not really required learning. Her real activity seems to have taken place in France working with the French Resistance and civil rights, and unfortunately her civil rights work here was overshadowed by MLK.
Now if you can figure out why a great American’s work MOSTLY happened in France, you might actually understand why you didn’t learn about her in school.
Don’t think you’re catching me out. It was understood the instant I read about her. TF is wrong with you, you go straight to being insulting.
Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe be something better instead?
Maybe take your own advice?
You were insulting in tone when you didn’t have to be. That’s from an unbiased observer.
Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?
Why? Are you that desperate for validation?
You seem really interested in having your opinion heard so I was giving you an avenue to share it. You certainly don’t have to. I am not in charge of how you want to spend your time.
Sorry, I already got my full ration of feedback from morons today. Try again tomorrow?
Reminds me an old story.
Two monks live on opposite sides of a lake.
One day the monk on the East bank sends the other a letter. “I am firm and unmovable. I am like a boulder with my roots set deep in the Earth.”
West bank sends back a note. One word. “Fart.”
Enraged, the East bank monk climbs into his boat and rows across to demand satisfaction.
West bank meets him with a smile. “You claim to be firm and unmovable, but I can get you to fly across the lake with a single fart.”
In other words, you funny
See, you have a lot of things to think about submitting for tomorrow!
That’s the best you can come up with?
Going to a rule you already broke?
You just aren’t worthy of my attention.
And when I say I’m done, I’m done.
I know it’s not funny or clever, but you just aren’t worth the minor effort.
So glad I merit so much effort from you!
Sorry you feel insulted by being observed for what you are. Maybe be something better instead?
What the F. For what I am? Blocked. What is it with Lemmy the last couple days and these deliberately insulting assholes?
Have you considered the possibility that you are just a moron?
starlingukAnd yet you learn about American men fighting in France during WW2 🤔.
Wow, she was an amazing person. Thank you for drawing attention to our deficit
The Egyptians had no word for dying, they just said “going West”.
Not sure how true that is, but i remember it for whatever reason.
ToastedRavioliGiven that most/many ancient cultures had a good handle on astronomy, it would make sense if they associated west with death. Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, it makes some logical sense to associate the east with beginnings of things and the west with endings
“A good handle on astronomy” in this context meaning: observing which in direction the sun goes down.
GuyIncognitoPffft, big deal. They have oodles of ancient skeletons sitting upright in the US. It’s called Congress!! Heyooooooooo!
