Student Lectures

As you know, I tend to start my latest blog in archaeology. So here we are again, learning about human sacrifice from some brave student in my class who's lecturing for extra credit. I just learned that sacrifice actually means "to make sacred." Interesting! So turns out a ton of people were doing this whole sacrifice thing...which is a little frightening to think about. Especially because a lot of them were little kids.

Now another girl is talking about the Chinese Terracotta warriors. They're pretty rad. This girl actually went to China and took pictures with them. 700,000 workers to create 7,000 statues to protect one dead guy.

Ohhh now it's Roanoke Island, something that's always interested me. "Croatoan" was written on the site where 117 people were sent and just disappeared. Apparently we still don't know where it is? I thought we did. Wellp, that's about it for that.

King Tut! His sarcophagus was super cool. The thing about mummies is though...they're butt ugly. P.S. How many 9 year-old kings have their been? Too bad the kid died when he was 19. He was born of incest and had a clubbed left food and a missing toe, and suffered from osteonecrosis. That kinda sucks.

Now this really excited guy is talking about the Maori weapon called a 'mere.' The most prized one was made of green stone...cool! Just whipped out a "Deadliest Warrior" clip - well done sir. He's really into this haha, I appreciate the show. Thanks guy.
