Orthogonal to current events discourse, but when will people realize that "gamer" is no longer a signifier of any value whatsoever?
Prussian troops en route to the front. Franco-Prussian War, 1870.
A bilingual 8th-century inscription by the king of Adana, an Anatolian kingdom thought to have been started by Homeric Greeks, mentions Assyrian assistance to the kingdom. Phoenician part reads: "the DNNYM and the Assyrians were a single House." The Luwian part reads: "Hiyawa…
