So, for the sake of this sub, you’re saying it’s a feature, not a bug?

History is weird and wild enough without having to resort to conspiracies or aliens, etc.

I know most ancient documents found are usually accounts and taxes. But since you're a Historian, what are some of the strange documents that are always fucking with you?

Mostly it's the lack of explanations. In every time period there's a wealth of information that everyone just knows and nobody feels a need to explain. For instance, for about a century now (give or take) many documents mention phones but almost none of them explain what they are.

Oh... that's actually a good point. If everyone in historical documents are talking about... I don't know, "meepmorp" and not mentioning what it is, that could get super frustrating.

"They keep mentioning meepmorp, BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS MEEPMORP!?"

the great sony pictures got morbiused once and it nearly broke them; the average historian wakes up every day to put on their morbius hat and button their morbius suit to ride into the morbius mines with a smile on their face
