I like how the hole is perfectly bird shaped

[-] GravelPieceOfSword@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

Somehow reminds me of this

Is it next to a bird? That looks like a bird.

Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It's like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.

Maybe bees looked different, 5000 years ago on a different continent?

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Ha ha yes - bees with horns, what a thought!

These could be the antenae. I mean, carving into stone doesn't really lend itself well for high-res depictions.

Ah, that makes more sense actually, that thing definitely has more than 2 legs.

Amun, am I going nuts or are the words moving around the slab?

[-] Deez@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

As the prophecy foretold.

Cute, but isn't bird poop errossive AF? Should probably eliminate the infestation.

Living things > inanimate objects.

We've destroyed their habitat, so they have to go somewhere.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
