TIL what happens when you mix copper and tin!
Pretty cool, right? You should see the axes it makes!
Yo, you can't just usher in a new age like that. Give a guy some warning. What are you some sort of sea person?
Time to again plug Eric H. Cline’s “1177 BC, The Year Civilization Collapsed”
He analyzes a lot of theories linking the Sea Peoples to various destruction sites, though mostly shows how we lack evidence for who caused said destruction in almost every case. I’m still reading it, but quite like it.
Great book! It doesn't offer any easy answers, but it does a great job of showing how complex the situation was. It's also a great look at how interconnected the bronze age was.
I learned this in my first 10 minutes of playing RuneScape back in 2004.
Wow 10 minutes? You are damned fast. By 10 minutes I was still fumbling my way through the abhorrent UI and terrible graphics. The graphics and gameplay were dogshit even for a game back in 2004 so it’s amazing you could accomplish anything in the first 10 minutes.
Mr. Cranky Pants, can you imagine a scenario where ValorieAF was not being literal?
OSRS genuinely has one of the better UIs in gaming to this day, and the graphics are only "bad" insomuch as they're low fidelity, which is the complaint people fall back on when they have no actually valid reasons to critique a game.
There are more modern versions of runescape, but tellingly no one plays those..

PPS: Send more alter children
Sounds like a good deal!
One question: What is a Po box? Is that the altar?
Wait- two questions: who is Nyny? Is that the name of the god you sacrifice the children to?
Bro Squid bro. Go the the south gate and yell 1-888- pigeons. That's 1-888-pig-eons. That's 1-888-744-3667. Tell the little man Poop sent you for 10% off the annual blank-check highway robbery subscription plan. All your questions will be answered and all your dreams will come true... Ask about the super pigeon supporters tier for a chance to win a second life with Super Poop and friends in lolipop land. Bless you Bro Squid bro, may you produce many a productive marks.

Should be some kind of box, right? That they put things inside?
Also, what are those funny letters after the box? Are they the box name in some distant language?
What should we call it? Topper? Coppin? I mean, it has to be something good. This is going to define our Age.
Sounds catchy. I've been calling it the Holy Metal of Enmebaragesi, the king in this very city of Nippur, built the House of Enlil.
"What the name of the guy that created this? Eannatum Bronze? Thats a horrible name. We certainly can't use that".
I know the guy who made it, he’s a total bro. Maybe work that into the name?
Been abouts the Black Forest, eh? Watch for trolls.
It's just a fad, nothing satisfies quite like good old beaten copper.
Harder, better, faster, stronger
Congratulations, you've created solder! Dust it with tree resin for best results.
I wonder where my bronze plated penny is...
useless, this shit will never catch on
bloody sumers thinking they're all clever, tried and true is the way to go.
It doesn’t even need to be chipped!
