Hoy Sé Que No Te Necesito, Pero Te Quiero En Mi Vida, No Solo Un Día, Un Segundo, Sino, Hasta El Final

“I miss your arms wrapped around my body. I miss your hands running up and down my spine. Please come over and hold me so I can forget about the world. Please suffocate me and promise you won’t let go. I want you to hug me so tight that I can’t even breathe right. I’m ready to die in your arms, because I’m finally home again.”

My favourite archaeology conspiracy theory...

…was this one video I watched looking at the inside of Petra, in Jordan. This guy was an American, with full access to a slew of cathedrals and abandoned buildings and the internet to observe basic architecture and human behaviour, but instead, he decided that the reason the inside of the Petra structures were so tall… was that giants lived there. 

How could they get up to the dais-like platforms unless they were giants? People in the comments were like “uh, wooden ladder?” And his responses were like “they didn’t need it.” He didn’t even try to defend his idea with evidence, he just shoved it all together and yelled fight me at science lol.

I guess if you’re going to stick with a conviction, at least understand that your evidence is ridiculous. He went on to explain that the holes about halfway up the walls, what most of us would probably consider cross-beam ports for a second floor or rafters, were, in fact, cubby shelves for the giants to put their things in! 

Maybe this is wrong or rude, but some days when I am struggling to wrap my head around a concept or frustrated with a lack of any provable supporting evidence, I just remember the giants and their cubbies that this full grown man believes in, and I try to piece whatever I’m working on together as best I can and leave the unknowns just… unknown. 

Plus, picturing giants walking into Petra and adding some artful carvings to the outside, then ducking in and putting like, an apple and a hat into a little cubby and then just sitting in the room doing absolutely nothing makes me smile. ^-^
