“A wizard is never late, nor is she early, she arrives preci…”

Oh shut up Helen, you knew I was going to wear my leopard print and you wore yours today just so I would look like I’m copying you! Our friendship is so over!

Just so Republicans can feel it's okay to want to rape her.

Though, even being 9000, they would still be considered a "modern" human, correct? Having evolved roughly 300k years ago, I would think their traits would be far more similar to our own then "early" versions of our species

I hear you, I had blissfully forgotten all about that.

SIX fingers...

If anyone missed the RiffTrax version of that movie it is one of the better ones. You can still find it on the privateer gulf.

And if you give her a normal hairline she might resemble a teenager

Yeah, it’s that old “Cleopatra lived closer to modern day than the building of the pyramids. Ancient Egypt had archeologists who studied ancient Egypt” thing.

This guy right here, his name is Ötzi. He died around his 50s. 5000 years ago. In the high Alpes. No, not due to old age. He was actually murdered. He was not considered ancient, just old. It's speculated he was already crippled due to past wounds - both fresh and old, and yet he was fine and rocking at the altitude of over 3000 meters... until someone penetrated him with an arrow.

No that isn't a counterargument to your theory, as a single special example is never enough to discard any statement. I don't need to, because it's already well documented how wrong this perception of aging is. I just want to show you just how durable people were even in the truly ancient times.

Wrong, in those years people also reached the age of today's people. The myth that they had a lower lifespan was due to the high mortality of newborns and a violent society that lowered the average general age.

Well yeah and back then everybody was ancient

I've noticed a trend lately - not sure how far back this goes - but it appears to me that aspects of the Greek civilization are very often attributed to the Romans and mentions of the Greeks are often reduced to derogatory memes (like how easy it is to be Socrates because there was only a bunch of people alive at the time and other such bs) and of course let's not forget how gay everyone was (as if that's a bad thing but whatever). Couple that with misconceptions about Alexander the great and how he was supposedly a Slav and Macedonias weren't Greek blah blah, the fact that the Turks are trying to claim that everything that now lies in modern day Turkey is "theirs" etc etc, the claims from Christians around the world that Christian ideas are the basis of the western civilization and morality in general as if they didn't just appropriate everything from past religions and belief systems... Anyway rant over.

No, no, John Travolta wasn't from Battlefield Earth, you're thinking of Keanu Reeves. John Travolta is from The Matrix.
