Some are “faded” and damaged, some are in places they weren’t expecting, like sides of hills instead of desert floor. If you get PBS, Nova has a recent special out about it. The science involved in finding them is really cool.

So, I was glancing at the titles and I had to double take as I was skipping by this one because I read it to say "Found 168 More Action Figures Etched ......"

Ahh so someone who ignores a plethora of evidence, just so they can play make believe. Gotcha

So many cool and interesting cultures we don't learn about on the peripheral of empires. This is neat!

The puzzles will of course require you to learn braille.

No sense of humor here I see. I'll address things more seriously next time.

A good sword could be passed down from father to son, or gifted to someone in exchange for favours, or buried with a notable warrior. Many Viking weapons did double duty as humble farm implements, sailing tack etc and thus were recycled rather than inherited. The Vikings did not have particularly high-tech/super-efficient weaponry that would have represented a major investment and frequently lost, abandoned, or cannibalised their own kit. They failed abysmally as archers for example, though they tried it.

In iOS you click the little "Aa" next to the address bar and it's one of the options in the drop down menu. Idk how it works on Mac but I'd be surprised if it's not something similar

These also look harder to discover because the images need lines to show what they look like since they’re likely worn down from being over 2000 years old.

I kinda “got” something, after being mystified for years on the giant Nazca pictoglyphs. After learning there were small ones, 12’ easily viewed just standing there, someone said “our gods might like this, we’re pretty stoked, they might be too!”. So they basically enlarged a few just by imagining and… there ya go. The big mystery being “why so big and only viewable by air”. Well, they just made small into big.
