A massive dildo, 2,000 years ago On today's episode of Hocus Pocus shenanigans - some guy back in the day who got a bit adventurous made this wonder of the ancient world. Ok fellas, here we go once again. So. Yeah. Look, lets face it there ain't nothing philosophical or confusing going on here . Some Roman lad, got a bit frisky on guard duty, and engaged once again in some hocus pocus shenanigans, this time, instead of fighting barbarians and protecting the empire, he decided to create a dildo that would outlast the entire f*cking empire and it is my duty to expose this guy 2,000 years later. In all seriousness, it was common for Roman men to engage in homosexual sex, as men were seen to be superior over women. A gay male relationship was actually seen to be the ultimate relationship, as 2 men (superior gender in Roman times) being together was considered to be more powerful than a heterosexual couple. Though there were some social rules and preferences when eng...

Meet the oldest murder victim in the world, who was killed 430,000 years ago Found in Spain, the skull was found at a site known as Sima de los Huesos, or "pit of the bones". It contains several early human species such as Homo heidelbergensis and some homo species that are a mystery. One skull, which was found in 1990, stood out from the rest. Injuries present on the skull are thought to have been caused by another hominin (early human). The skull shows signs of head truama. The two holes at the top of its head are thought to have been caused when the person was pushed down a cave or pit. The injuries show no signs of healing, indicating that the person died soon after. It is thought that the person was killed with a stone axe or possible a wooden pole. Why the person was killed in unknown. We don't even know of this person was a man or a woman, but we do know that they were a young adult. They have possibly have been killed for recourses, but this is just a theory. ...

A Tunnel Dug by a Giant Ground Sloth In Brazil over 10,000 Years Ago

A Tunnel Dug by a Giant Ground Sloth In Brazil over 10,000 Years Ago I posted this on story this weekend and was one of the most responded to in a while (with a wild variety of responses :), so I wanted to make it a full post. Known as Paleoburrows, these enormous tunnels can measure up to 2,000 feet long and over six feet tall and it's believed that the Brazilian tunnels were created by giant ground sloths. How were they discovered? In the early 2000s, a Professor Heinrich Frank of the University of Rio Grande do Sul was driving by a construction site when something caught his eye. There was a strange hole that had been revealed by the site's excavators, and Frank wondered where it led. A few weeks later he made his way back and entered the hole. Crawling down the 15-foot-long opening, he noticed claw marks across the ceiling of the cave. Given his expertise, he knew that no natural phenomenon would create a cave with those characteristics, and that it must’ve been done ...

Sex toys from 30,000 years ago

Sex toys from 30,000 years ago These dildos were found in Germany and date back to 30,000 years ago. They are made from stone and deer antlers. While it may be a funny or awkward topic for some, this find shows that humans of that time duration had an interest and desire for self-pleasure, as well as a desire for understanding and exploring their sexual needs, desires, and sexual health Sex toys have been used by humans for thousands of years and can be seen in many different cultures. In ancient Greece, dildos were popular and are often referenced in literature. There is even a play called Lysistrata, which shows women going on a sex strike, and discussing how to use dildos to satisfy themselves In the Han Dynasty in China, dildos are described in old Chinese scripts as "tools". Now, this can be seen as an odd way to describe a sex toy, however, the term has a deep meaning to it. In the tombs of some of the elite social classes in the Han Dynasty, dildos, and sex toys...
