You wanna translate that into English, I didn't catch that.
well i mean, it's not exactly ambiguous
the sea peoples was an ethno-ambiguous-group mainly comprised of filthy etrurians and smelly cretans, and its ony "industry" was waging wars on behalf of kings and emperors too weak to quell disputes by themselves, who would hire them out of despair. They were, for all intents and purposes, a bunch of mutt mercenaries. The literal ZOG/USA of the time.
Didn't ask.
>smelly south-italian/greek spotted
whiter than you Ahmed
it is etruscans what you are doing is like calling romans latins
it's as valid a designation as "etruscans", historyletbro
Its not if you consider that etrurian is a designation for anyone living in etruria while etruscan is a designation for people who speak etruscan as their mother tongue.
etrurians is correct, and is the coherent designation in the context of the post. geographically speaking, they came mostly from etruria and crete, so they're etrurians and cretans, if i wanted to qualify them by spoken language, i'd have said etruscans and minoans.
It is still contentional when you consider that these are mercenaries who were probably not born in these areas and who probably spoke a common language, therefore its safer to assume a greater commonality of language than place of birth.
as per the pejorative adjectives "filthy" and "smelly", and by mentioning their ethno-ambiguity, it is quite clear I was referring to their geographical origins, ie the places they were born in.
>who probably spoke a common language
actually, the current consesus goes in the other direction, it is now believed they didn't share an exact/established spoken language, and communicated in other alternative ways.
The fact you use pejoratives at all strongly suggests you have no idea what you're talking about and can be easily dismissed.
I feel like there's a bunghole joke in here.
So the joke is about Sumerian taverns having terrible lighting right? It isn't any more complex than that is it?
There’s a strong chance it’s related to prostitution, so maybe they kept it dark when you pick out the girls to hide their roughness. Or it’s some long lost reference or pun
Oh and “open” could mean frick. Without evidence of a specific cultural reference it makes the most sense to me. “Dog” could be slang for a scoundrel or just literal. As in “I can’t see shit, so I’ll just pick one”
I think its meant as he wants to look inside so he opens the door, maybe being watched by a dog is a metaphor for something.
Prostitutes in Sumer congregated on the steps of the temple of Ishtar so idk why you think that
I read it somewhere
Ah well I made mine up so you win this one
That was pretty convincing
Temple prostitutes did, I imagine prostitution also took place outside the sanction of the temple though, maybe even illegally.
I assumed they had their liquor in pots or something and the dog couldn't see over the lids.
The joke is actually that the dog (guard dog) was meant to guard and protect from outside threats, yet he's opening a brothel curtain and letting everyone look in.
Probably some double meaning we just don't get.
Something about windows and alcoholic containers both being opened to "see" maybe? Dunno.
It's probably a pun that's impossible to translate and you'd need to be fluent in the language to get.
It's a dick joke. They drank out of a communal pot of alcohol with large straws/hoses and you can assume that the dog found a man's dick and mistook it for a hose
Their liquor is served from a nozzle, the blind dog will end up licking everyone’s dicks trying to find it
Well OBVIOUSLY!!!
why do they all have their dicks out?
>be ancient people
>have no sewerage system
>have to piss into vessels that would later be disposed of
>containers are closed to minimize propagation of smell
>alcohol is also stored in closed containers
from this we can conclude a simple, yet hilarious meaning: it was dark enough inside the tavern that the dog couldn't see that the container with what he thought would be the sweet nectar of the gods, was actually sumerian piss.
>It would be extremely painful
>You're a big guy
>For you
We're missing some very important context for the Sumerian joke. Memeologists will look back on BANE with the same confusion that we have for the dog walks into a bar joke millennia from now after the Dark History destroys most records from our time.
>nuclear war causes sun to crash into the earth
>everything on the internet is destroyed
>only memes and reaction images saved to our harddrives remain

I bet it's just because it's a series of absurdities. A dog walking into a tavern, and dog that can talk, a dog that opens something even though he can't see anything, a dog opening something in the first place, and there's also the fact that the thing that is being opened is unknown. Our humor is so much different than even humor from 60 years ago, so who knows what these people actually found humorous.
I think we can safely assume they found farts funny. Everybody does.
>the joke is them finding the idea of future people not getting a clearly absurd sentence and thinking it has deeper meaning extremely humurous
they're trolling us basically, those fricks. I'm glad they got raped and pillaged by the based akkadians
The joke is that the tavern would've been called Chuck's Tuck under the previous owner.

>I care not, for Wa-Dis Nay has become greatly awoken in these times and I have no desire to provide him my barley
A different time. Currently, I wouldn’t even waste my bandwidth to sea people a piece of Disney media.
they drink their beer out of big straws, the joke is that the dog mistakenly started sucking someone's penis.
I'm gonna go with this one, it's some alternate meaning in the word for open
I get the feeling that the word “open” is mistranslated, or rather there’s a second meaning to that word that’s unknown to Assyriologists.

He brought us all of civilization, and yet he didn't allow anyone to bring friends?
Why would he want them?
One of those examples is not like the other (Hint: it’s the Indian one). Maybe the object they depicted was a simple bag or pouch used to hold something valuable, like gold or religious papers? What do you think? Share your ideas [email protected]
Uh, you don't get to take ideas.
Hello. I’m very sorry if I’ve offended you or the community in any way, but I don’t think you understand that I am a journalist and only want to share information
The bag has long been a symbol of humanity's ascension into tool-users and knowledge carriers. The ability to carry things with you beyond merely what your hands can hold acts as a psychological manifestation of the origins of culture.
Maybe the cargo were the friends we made along the way.
