This is me. I am me. Woah.

Sure, Genesis was probably several different writers, maybe more than 2. If I remember rightly, scholars believe they have identified four. And, yeah, there are two conflicting stories of the creation of the world in Genesis. But, it's also further afield than something like the Book of Enoch, which was included in some groupings of biblical texts for a time.

I am using "canon" here in the religious definition of widespread acceptance of which books are used in worship, since the question was how far do you need to go out of the way to find Lilith. Pretty much every Abrahamic group agrees on which books are in the "Old Testament", which is where Lilith would be and to my knowledge, none include that specific work.

Lilith appears in no books that are considered canon, were ever widely considered canon, nor is she present in any of the main pieces of pseudepigrapha. The word "lilit" does appear once in the Book of Isaiah, and has been translated as "Lilith" on occasion and is usually considered to refer to a type of Babylonian demon instead of an individual. She's basically someone's fanfiction first wife of Adam that has gotten a glow-up because of the amount of media that uses her.

As one of my archeology professors once said: Human remains complicate the process so much that it's best to avoid them even if it costs more money to do so.

Yup, every time I drive this road. Some asshole always does this and almost causes a pile-up.

Not to mention that except for the plains, the Americas are can be uneven in terrain, which is not great for even smaller, hand-pulled carts

And it isn't like they didn't KNOW about wheels. They just weren't useful for their purposes so they didn't use them.

The nice thing is that it also protects the caves in that case. Tourists suck about destroying caves.

We call that looting now, but hey, Indiana Jones did it.

I agree that they kill some digs way too early to prevent risk, but on the other hand, digs did steal a lot of remains in the old days. :(

You don't have permission from all involved parties. But you usually don't want to find human remains, as that can end a dig.

I was taught that 50 years makes it Archaeology (hence there is Archaeology of WWII), but it's also Grave Robbing if (1/2)

That was the reason I game, until...I *realized the truth*.

Not sure if that's still the case, but I definitely let more than one family in at the behest of the ticketing staff.

Worked at the museum briefly. Had free days, but we were also told that "if someone wants to come in and can't pay, but asks, let them in".

I am unable to picture things in my mind, but don't care for taking pictures. I'm happy with just the descriptive memory and the emotions.

There was a guy on CNN after as a "left-wing documentarian", and the moment he opened his mouth, I knew it was bullshit. Is this him?

DPS, however, just had every student as virtual because "We've already had students out of school enough". Absolute BS.

As an Epicurean, fuck can be found within nature and because of this, you should live a simple life.

The most tragic thing about life is that it eventually ends. That's what makes the memories of the time spent with those we love so precious

True, but they have been used as tools since early human ancestors, judging by the tooth wear in some finds. It's what we do!

I live in Denver, and have spent a lot of time looking at the murals. It's just conspiracy nuts seeing what they want to see.
