Imagine yourself being confused and baffled by something, and asking âReally?â. The intonation is rising, as is usual in questions. Imagine yourself hearing someone say something you are completely confident is absurdly false or a lie, and you want to suggest to the person that theyâre wrong and you know the truth, by sarcastically asking âReally?â. The intonation is falling, closer to ordinary statements of fact.
OOP is using the full stop at the end of his âquestonsâ to suggest the second, sarcastic intonation.

From the article I linked with the item in the context of other finds at the same siteâŚ
People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isnât a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.
I remember seeing a ton of âarcheologists: tHeYârE jUsT fRiEnDsâ comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.

Seems like a case where a particular claim of a select group was generalised over a supergroup by way of being the subject of memes that ran away with the stereotype.
Itâs like that one fraud falsifying studies about a specific type of vaccines in an attempt to sell his own, only for people to latch on to the âvaccine badâ part of the story without limit, nuance or critical examination.
Does anyone still know where the original âjust friendsâ claim stems from, in which context, supported by which arguments, what refutations have been offered since and just how widespread among archaeologists it is today?

My wifeâs been reading this book that references this. As well so many other cases of men assuming genders or disregarding women in science, among other things. Itâs crazy. âhmm that skeleton has wide hips, but it is also buried with a sword, so itâs a manâ. Female physiology traits in a man is way more plausible, than a woman being buried with a sword ⌠wtf?!?
As we well know all women and men in history that lived together with someone of the same gender were just friends. There are many historical records in which esteemed historians depicted the factual truth of deep friendships. Luckily for the rest of us, those noble seers always knew all context required and bore no prejudices towards anything whatsoever. That is a model cucumber. It even tastes like one.

It was probably used for religious purposes of some sort
indeed. coming closer to believed gods is important to some in any society. its just a clear in and out conclusion.
Usage was frequently accompanied by callings to a deity from a trance like state.
A very popular ritual that has survived for millennia
The Egyptlogists might have some additional context and knowledge that some rando on Twitter might now.
sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.
Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.
that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more
Shouldnât have just assumed but in that case it was the correct assumption vast majority of the time. Still bad to assume.
it kinda wasnât

Iâm thinking they found other fruit/veggie/food models with the dildo.
yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more
Yeah, Iâm also guessing the Tweeter is just a masterbator, not a real doctorbator with a PhD in D.
And there is some green coloration on it, indicating the dildo was once painted to look like a cucumber. Derek Smalls gets it.
But did cucumbers look like that 4000 years ago?
If they found green dye on it sure, if not then it might be for the fertility festival
Do a scientific test were you put it in front of a cat and see what happens
Then do the same test but you put it in front of Catharina, and see what happens.
As we well know all women and men in history that lived together with someone of the same gender were just friends. There are many historical records in which esteemed historians depicted the factual truth of deep friendships. Luckily for the rest of us, those noble seers always knew all context required and bore no prejudices towards anything whatsoever. That is a model cucumber. It even tastes like one.
