I would watch Ancient Shitposting religiously.
Too bad it would never happen on the history channel, it involves history.
They can always claim it’s aliens. And then translate it all, with the people’s names, and keep claiming it’s aliens.
Milo Rossi should make a channel
There’s a pyramid with hieroglyphics carved onto the side that roughly translate to “This End Up”
I visited a 17,000 year old cave painting site in France, and the whole walk into the cave there are modern day graffiti signatures like “Bob, 1992” etc. but then you start to notice that the years go back further and further…1827…1761…1597. Then you get to the old cave art and it kind of feels like a continuation of the same shit, just some people leaving their scribbles on a rock like they have been probably since they discovered how to do it.
Do you remember any of the older names?
I don’t know, can you make them out?
Cool, thanks for sharing!!

I always liked how archaeologists would dig up ancient statues of big-breasted and big-butted women and call them evidence of a “cult of fertility”. I guess that sounds better than “porn”.
People think humanity is so much more evolved now but it has been actually the same shit from thousands ago or whenever recorded history goes back.
Also: portuga was here
Our ancestors’ brains went from chimpanzee-sized to modern-sized (actually slightly bigger than today) between two million and one million years ago, and more importantly the language-governing areas increased in size during that stretch. So human beings a million years ago were very much like us today, just without the advanced technology.
Man has felt the need to leave his mark on this world since the very beginning. Not likely to ever change
Nowadays though, we (or some of us at least) wish to leave less of a mark. Ecological footprint, climate change and so on.

Vikings (and Varangians) loved write silly things everywhere.
I learned in my scandinavian class in college that they dug up a nordic tavern ruin, and inside found a stick with carved runes on it. When translated, it said something to the effect of “HELGA SAYS COME HOME RIGHT NOW.”
Probably not “Marcus is gay” since they didn’t have a similar idea of sexuality, it being more or less a free-for-all.
Oh my sweet summer child…
Bad use of the meme.
I liked the story about the “very high” runes and so I found a source. Apparently, the writing was “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up”.
I had a book of graffiti, one of them was described as an arrow written up a wall next to a urinal up to the ceiling where a message read “by the time you’ve read this message, you have pissed on your shoes.”
Those who forget the past, are condemed to repeat it.
Let’s just forget everything, ok?
I would unironically watch something called ‘Ancient Shitposting’ that focused on old graffiti and pisstakes. It would still be more relevant to history than most of what is on channels with History in the name these days.
Those runes were totally gratified
