Discovering ancient burial sites can often reveal fascinating insights into the lives of our distant ancestors. One such discovery is the 7000-6000-year-old burial of a young woman, estimated to be around 20 years old at the time of her death, and her newborn baby, found in Vedbaek, Denmark.

What makes this burial particularly intriguing is the presence of 200 red deer teeth placed by the woman's head, and the newborn being cradled in the wing of a swan with a flint knife placed at its hip. It is believed that the mother and child tragically died together during childbirth.

The exquisite details of this burial paint a vivid picture of the rituals and customs of our ancient forebears. The placement of the red deer teeth and the use of the swan's wing as a cradle suggest a reverence for nature and an appreciation for the beauty of the animal world.

This discovery is a testament to the incredible creativity and resourcefulness of our ancestors, and a reminder that even in the most challenging circumstances, they found ways to express their culture and beliefs. The Vedbaek burial serves as a poignant reminder of the profound connections between life and death, and the enduring legacy of our shared human history.

Point of view

I keep seeing posts about how sad it’ll be when the Sole Survivor dies because then Shaun/Curie/Danse will be alone for the rest of eternity and I keep trying to remember if it’s even canon that gen 3 synths don’t age? It’s actually make more sense if they did because they’re almost entirely made of organic material, y'know the same stuff humans are made out of, and as we are all well aware humans age. And the Institute obviously hasn’t found a way to halt aging (Kellogg’s cyborgness notwithstanding). Having them not age would also make the Institute’s mad science scheme of killing people and replacing them with synths kinda pointless because it’d never be feasible for long. Especially in Danse’s case, he’s been with th BoS for a while and they’d probably notice his eternal youth. Point is, I’m pretty sure gen 3s age. So can we please start making some happy headcanons instead of this eternal sadness?

berserk and guts hold such a special place in my heart bc at its core, berserk is a story about a deeply traumatized man trying to move forward with his life. slowly, he finds himself able to love and trust those around him and to be optimistic again after being so deeply hurt by someone he trusted. as a person who lives with trauma, this series was so beloved by me and i’ve lost count of how many times i’ve reread the manga and watched the movies.

hearing of miura’s passing is so heartbreaking because of how much dedication and devotion to his fans that was put into every panel, every chapter, every character. miura literally worked himself to death.

his work influenced countless people, and regardless if you’ve read berserk or not, i guarantee there is some media you cherish that has been influenced or inspired by his work.

rest easy, struggler.
