Yep. For most of history, water was at best an iffy thing to drink

Just a minor correction from someone who studies archaeology; Writing was most likely invented to keep track of goods in general, not necessarily money. Monetary systems developed later, although there might be some exceptions I'm not aware of.

True. But money is pretty much a agreement as to value, as it's intrinsic value would vary from person to person...so I find it best to think of it as an IOU that's being passed around - rather like third person cheques, only guaranteed by the government.

Economics in a nutshell.

Public wells, where water came from, were often infected with cholera and dysentery. They were very dangerous. Water was not really considered healthy, and up until Pasteur - mid to late 1800's - no one understood germ theory. Beer has a low alcohol level and was considered pretty much a bread product "the staff of life" as described in the bible. It was considered a stable and healthy way of storing your grain, as opposed to the public well that could be contaminated by human and animal feces from the street. Remember, there was no plumbing systems other than people dumping waste in public streets in the city. There were huge amounts of bacteria in the public streets from both animal and human intestinal tracts - the streets were filthy and it would run off into the water supply. People built up a huge tolerance to low level alcohol and yes, everyone was probably mildly soused to some extent. It's an interesting study. Many people consider civilization follows the cultivation of beer, starting with the Mesopotamia and Egypt. I used to teach biology and this was how I began the yeast units - the kids found it fascinating. Then we would draw on this when we went into tetanus, cholera, etc and all those epidemics.

liberty tree Thanks for the info. Who needs social media when you have cholera!

alcohol is technically treated since it's distilled so I see your point.

Practically middle aged at the time

@@BadgerCheese94 the fact that the average life span of people was 30 years old back in the day is because babies and kids died a shit ton, if they managed to survive until 5-7 years of age, then they'd live almost as long as people do nowadays. Some cultures didn't name their kids until they were 3-5 years old just in case. Along with wars and conflicts that got many young men killed. All that skewed the numbers.

And she was older later -- years later -- when she met John Rolfe, her future husband. Pocahontas never really hooked up with John Smith. That was just a story, made up, much later.

@@huttease8752 what’s wrong with a rhetorical question? Lol

These original performers were trained on stages without electronic amplification. They had to project. There also was a certain way of talking that was taught in school for those who spoke publicly. All kids used to be taught to "recite" poetry complete with hand gestures. People at the time understood all the gestures and accents and words - they actually had a better vocabulary than we have today. They would attend a "literary" at school where all the kids would perform individually - that was usually a kids first performance experience instead of class plays like we have today. Poetry was very big in the 1800s, early 1900s. Up until the first microphones in the 20s nobody had any help in projecting their voice unless a hall had good acoustics.The teachers put great emphasis on enunciating and speaking clearly.

Some stages like the one I performed on still don't have speakers actually.

Sounds like fun. I was watching an old Ethel Merman movie today, watching her sing she uses all kinds of vocal tricks to get extra projection - when she first started in the business, they had no mikes.

look up "Mid-Atlantic Accent"

Not necessarily. I mean at the beginning, for sure, mic's were garbage, but it sounded like magic to them. The issue was the transition for the actors from the stage to the screen. It took a while for them to realize that they didn't have to be audible to people in the back because it would have speakers. It's also why makeup has changed from accentuating facial features to making them more subtle.

+Gamepopper101 It actually was a carry-over from stage acting. Before movies, there was theater. Even today stage acting has much more drama and emphasis in it. Many film actors went from stage to film, and their method of acting came with them. It wasn't until later that film companies began to try and make films feel more natural and less like a melodrama.

+Gamepopper101 I always figured that the style of talking came for emulating how radio hosts spoke and needing to speak louder since the microphones weren't as sensitive. Turns out it's the "Transatlantic" accent, it was taught to announcers and actor, and was popular in the elite class of Americans.

+A5mod3us Yup. I went to a theatre school where they actually taught us to talk like that. The accent was originally adopted as a response to British "RP", or "Received Pronunciation", which is the archetypal "stuck-up" sounding English accent, and in the 19th and early 20th centuries was the primary style of speech used in British theatre, and especially Shakespeare. Basically, it was decided that American actors needed an American equivalent to that accent so they could do Shakespeare without having to pretend to be British. Then it spread to all American theatre, and eventually to film. And that's why every actor in a movie before the 60's sounds like they come from an alternate dimension where all Americans have sticks up their bums.

+Gamepopper101 That's exactly right. Look up 'trans-atlantic accent'. It was designed to appeal to American as well as British audiences.

+Gamepopper101 +CradtyxCrafty +A5mod3us +Henric von Winklebottom +Corvus +SkeetRadar +Kipah That shrill and vaguely British-y nasal accent developed organically during the early days of military radio communications near the close of WW1 and propagated into civilian radio media when it was highly sought after due to it's ability to pierce through gritty static and white noise of remote wireless systems that usually struggled to pick up under-powered signals and were most sensitive to the highest and most percussive vocal sounds. Termed 'Trans-Atlantic' because it was most useful for long-distance communication akin to the trans-continental Morse code sea-bed wire system installed in the 1800's between Britain and the US primarily for shipping and trade information. By WW2 the tech had evolved as the general public embraced the in-home radio set and subconsciously associated the accent with a well-to-do upper-crust political set of the late gilded age, aka most radio-era wartime presidents. The accent re surges again during the first decade of film when it's useful because of poor voice recording quality and similarly lousy speaker tech and which, again, recorded and recreated higher and more percussive tones better. As tech improved the accent faded quickly although you can hear hints of it again during the early days of television news broadcasters like Huntley and even Cronkite, but fades rapidly in favor of the pseudo-Midwest-y anti-accent that gained favor as the sound of the 'every-man' during the homogeneity of the late 50's; this sound still reigns supreme today in broadcast media, news, commercials, public loudspeaker announcements and subsequent SIRI. Last week on NPR All Things Considered interviewed the woman who voices 82% of Transportation loudspeaker announcements globally. Selected initially for her higher-than-average pitch and sharply dictive elocution we could argue that despite her non-accent-ness her popularity is a direct evolution of the Trans-continental style for exactly the same necessity. Shit, I guess I've thought more about this concept than I'd realized.

And I've heard that Grant might not have been as drunk as everyone is taught. Competitors of Grant spread lies about him, apparently.

Dylan Thompson Well, she was considered very charming, worldly, could speak many languages, and was a witty conversationalist. So, it's not a stretch someone could be attracted to her. Let's not forget she also had power, money, and held the title of a sovereign to an ancient dynasty even the Romans respected.

I always assumed she was probably ugly as her family took incest to the extreme, as her parents were brother and sister, probably her grandparents too, cause keeping the bloodline pure of kingly blood was important.

Francesca Winter That was only done to legitimize the Ptolemaic Dynasty over Egyptian citizenry. Greeks weren't as severe in keeping royal bloodlines pure, so much as they were about using marriage to other dynasties as power leverage. But they instituted this incestuous practice to make them seem more Egyptian, and... well... because it did actually keep the power within the family. Further, this practice meant that her blood was as purely Ptolemaic as it could be. Why is this important to Rome? Because Ptolemy was one of the five generals Alexander the Great's empire was split between. Many of those dynasties were long gone even by that time. For new Roman emperor aspirees, such as Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, (and eventually, but not including in this instance, Octavian who said "fuck all that king and queen bullshit... I'm just gonna be emperor and trick the public into thinking I'm not am emperor"), they could connect their dynastic claims back 1000 years to Alexander the Great. Today, that would be like some descendant of George Washington, having newly become president (and having just won a civil war) marrying the queen of France... It sends a message that America is on the map, has solid allies, isn't to be trifled with, and is now officially connected to a lineage that goes back ages. You're set as a ruler. It made more sense back then @_@ Whacko shit, history is. Whew.

Dylan Thompson no, actually, the whole "Cleopatra is pretty" rumour was Roman propaganda. They thought that if they could make her look like any other beautiful Egyptian queen, she'd be perceived as less of a threat than she actually was to the Romans and their plan worked, quite well if I do say so myself, unfortunately it made Cleopatra look like a total bimbo to anyone who didn't look further into her history

The great question about the Magna Carte: Where was the Magna Carte signed?" Is still a question that plagues Historians and vexes History teachers. Although that and the year it was signed were both items that my eighth graders needed to know if they wanted to pass my class.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights or the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act would win it for me (there had been plenty of legislation before the latter, but mainly about restricting being born in to slavery or trading slaves, particularly between nations - this outright banned it, and punished slave owners).

What about the deceleration of human rights

Proof that you've never read The Magna Carta. Apart from lines 40 and 41 which guarantee trial by jury, it's mostly about exempting The Lord's from paying back The Jews for the depts they incurred fighting King John. Incidentally I often hear how Robin Hood was "feared by the rich, loved by the poor". In fact the only man at the time who could claim that honour was (drumroll): the man who established the age of criminal responsibility and the concept of diminished responsibility (wait for it, wait for it) King John.🤯

And if a modern sketch artist whom has a fair amount of resources couldn't do that, how could someone who was notorious for having artistic flaws and little to no frame of reference to the person they were drawing be able to? I believe that was point he was trying to make (and that's what I took from it), but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not revered by "Americans" as if everyone outside of the US doesn't understand it's impact. Anybody who actually cares about this particular topic, regardless of their residency within the world, understands how much of an influence it has had on other nations since it's creation. Countries limiting royal/government power to serve but not fully control is a staple of many modern countries values. The US Constitution wasn't the first of it's kind but it's the one that has made the most impact and been the most influential. You should read about it instead of instantly getting offended because somebody mentioned something about the US being important (which came off as extremely petty and immature btw).

It actually became a tool to restrict rights rather than grant them several centuries down the road, when other countries were experimenting with republics like the Dutch and the Poles. The English Civil War was the culmination of it's failure to endure long-term.

news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/10/131008-women-handprints-oldest-neolithic-cave-art/ The article which he is referring to is based off of a controversial theory which, though it is fascinating to examine and research, is still in it's infancy of examination. So, crack being what it is, took a hypothesis which is currently being examined in the scientific world, and projected it as fact. I'm not surprised, but I don't really have time to listen to misinformation via lack of understanding.

Gravity has been repeatedly proven and reproven to the point of being a natural law, and a majority of the research shows that . As for why I chose the term hypothesis as the sample size is way too small for it to earn the term theory. In order for something to be declared a theory it must be repeatedly proven to be consistent enough to be a theory. Now take a moment to go look back at the articles. Even the smithsonian one is using the same sources as the article I linked. From what I see, the groups studying this are relatively small. I will admit it is due to the fact that it is for one of the softest of the cushy sciences, but a "May have been women" does not fall under the line of it actually being women. Could they have been woman? Sure, but nothing is gained by stopping there and declaring success. We're looking at sexual dimorphism in the hands and measurements of thumbs. Both of theses are going off the assumption that hands are clearly the same as they are today, or even if they were the same species instead of neanderthals. To say "They were created by women" shows the same level of utter stupidity as "They were painted by men".

Which reminds me, if you have proof that it's more than a singular study by Dean Snow ((I'v hear of sciences being soft, but hot damn if one study is enough to create a theory, I'm glad I kept to the harder stuff)) share them, because right now it looks like two old men fighting out ideas and calling them theories.

You do enjoy ad hominem don't you darling? Ok, let me tell you how it works in the scientific world. Right now my lab is working on the effects of nanocrystals on dictyostelium ((so chosen for it's physiological similarities to leukocytes as we need to see if they can still phagocytize the weakened microbes (in this case E.Coli). This is piggybacking off of another theory on which uses Urbach's tail as a mechanism for creating an antimicrobial environment, usually requiring alkali crystalline structures. So if our study finds a different result from the constant presented by the previous study, that study becomes controversial and pushes it away from becoming a theory. Then again... acording to you I know nothing about science... What is it that you do exactly darling?

Also noticed the pictures of 'Vienna' were actually Hogarth's Gin Lane and Beer Street.
