Can I share something neat for a moment?
Look at this ceramic figurine. Three people are participating in a group cheek piercing ceremony. We believe it is a form of auto sacrifice, akin to cutting earlobes, piercing foreskin, or running a nettle filled thread through the tongue.
What is neat about the cheek piercing ceremony is that the aftermath of the ceremony is depicted on other, larger, hollow figurines. Take this figurine for example. You can see the vertical scars of multiple ceremonies. As a result, this person's mouth now droops.
We see the drooping mouth in other figurines, but without the scars. These two figurines also happen to be musicians. While there could be a connection between music and group ceremonies....
There are other figurines, like this starving (?) woman in the middle of preparing maize who also has the characteristic drooping mouth. This figurine also demonstrates that the ceremony was not gender exclusive, but rather practiced by all.

bold the things you’ve experienced/observed:
astronomical
• meteor (shower) (bolide / superbolide) • comet (great comet) • lunar eclipse (total / partial) • solar eclipse (total (annular) / partial ; partially)* • zodiacal light • gegenschein • airglow • aurora (borealis/australis) •
meteorological
• rainbow (double / triple) (moonbow) • Brocken spectre • glory • halo (sun dogs) • light pillar (sun pillar) • green flash • mirage (fata morgana) • optical looming • lightning (<50 m / <10 m) (dry / ball lightning) • st. elmo’s fire • sprite / blue jet / other transient luminous events • cloud iridescence • noctilucent / lenticular / anvil / shelf/roll / mammatus clouds • supercell / hurricane=typhoon=cyclone (category 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5) • tornado (multiple-vortex tornado / waterspout / landspout / dust devil / fire whirl) • hail (>marble / >quarter / >golf ball)* • glaze ice • sandstorm •
note 1: a solar eclipse seen “partially” means that the eclipse itself might have been total, but you weren't in the path of totality and thus did not experience it as total
note 2: a marble has a diameter of about 13 mm; a quarter is about the same size as a 50 cent or 2 € coin, with a diameter of about 25 mm; a golf ball has a diameter of about 43 mm
if anyone does this and tags me, you shall receive my eternal gratitude (may you experience cloud iridescence every day for the rest of your life etc.)
{the original post}
#j#i was so fucking annoyed that i could not find the original post by searching for the specific words mentioned here#so before i wanted to just check it out again#but now i'm posting it#i updated it and corrected some bits#plus added links this time#meteo#astro
