Herd of cattle crossing the dry Krishna riverbed in search of food

Les nymphes du Pactole ont deserte leurs ondes... (o-vide) Le cours du mark Ils attendent queca remonte...

The Pactolus Nymphs have deserted their waves... (o-empty) The price of the mark They are waiting for it to come back up...

About Dry Grasses (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2023)

hey. I need help

what the fuck does this song say?

like specifically at around a minute in, after what I'm pretty sure is "and the donkey they threw from the bell tower", what's this guy saying? I'm losing my mind

here's the unedited song if it helps:

all of the lyrics online are wrong or incomplete and there are no official ones anywhere! I just want to know what that dude is saying!

The Dry River Wasn't Dry

The Dry River spills over Slab Road, Dayton, Virginia. I appreciate the simplistically specific way of naming roads in Rockingham County, Virginia. The roadways are numbered, of course, but the colloquial names are what people know. Slab Road is a prime example. Hardly a half mile long, Slab Road connects two main county roads.

(“watts would have been of no use to salem in vacuo” fanon in particular is so obnoxious. YOU THINK THERE ARENT COMPUTERS IN VACUO??)

like… it’s a resource-poor kingdom in a harsh desert environment where food/water are both scarce and the outskirts of the city are constantly shifting due to sinkholes opening up and there isn’t a functioning government to coordinate the resources + labor necessary to excavate abandoned buildings buried by sand storms. That’s It.

none of that precludes vacuo having the same level of technology as like mistral or vale. (which. it. explicitly. does. CCTS tower and all.) none of it precludes vacuo having… like… an economy that exists at all… bfrgdc
