You know what's scariest here? No human has read this at all. None. Forget about the cheating authors, no reviewers, no editor. Nothing. Horrifying.
Another Elsevier paper with obvious AI-written text.

For #MosaicMonday a detail of a mosaic in the basilica of #Aquileia depicting #snails in a basket.
The meaning of the motif is unclear. It was suggested that it is a symbol of resurrection, as snails are hibernating animals. But it was also argued that the motif...1/2

This episode of Heritage Türkiye was a joy to make. After talking with @emmabaysal.bsky.social I don’t think I’ll ever think about jewellery in the same way. It’s a really rich conversation, including fascinating insights into status, belonging and gender and in the Neolithic period

Beautiful Mesolithic baskets!
So well-preserved they look modern rather than made by hunter-gatherers some 9,500 years ago!
A rare glimpse of ancient crafts still in use today!

Imagine waking up to this every morning... Resist the fallacy that life in the past was miserable! There's a lot that's tough about today too, and our ancient ancestors lives were filled with just as much beauty, magic, and joy as our own. Prehistoric ≠ primitive ✊

No need to go to the movies - we have our very own Gladiator that you can feast your eyes on right here.
If you look closely at the finer detail you can just make out that he isn't riding on the back of a rhino. 🙄
