What the fuck

WTF indeed. I’m guessing someone messed up the original images and these went to the print or this is a book from alternate one of the dimensions.

Read the text. Is some kind of twisted joke, trying to fool us, making us believe that this is a real textbook.

I’m not falling in your tricks, OP. Try again tomorrow.

Okay first of all, having seen the amount of damage on real archaeological finds there’s no way an aluminum can survives for several centuries without disintegrating. In fact, it seems to be expected to take between 200 and 500 years.

But second, there’s no way that shape would be called a shield. Even if some archaeologist was silly enough to make that error there would be dozens of contemporary HBMA practitioners pouncing on the poor bastard with their arguments about practicality and various attempts at recreation and demonstration.

Unless this is assuming a sample with one half of the can worn away and the other preserved in some miraculously half-protective condition. Though I’d really expect the top and bottom to outlast the wall.

Agreed. They would probably call both items religious or cultural symbols and move on.

Which book is this?

AtariDump@lemmy.world on 23 Jan 2025 18:01 collapse

Asking the real question.

raldone01@lemmy.world on 23 Jan 2025 19:08 collapse

I think I found it Et.Al but I am not sure. Bought it though.

Whatever you do, don’t ask Anna if she has it in her archive.

Hahaha thanks. Though I read through their website and wanted to support them.

I always buy entertainment books in paperback because I stare at screens way too much already.

University books though 🏴‍☠️ all the way.
