Think of all the poor, unfortunate Mormon archeologists searching, endlessly searching, endlessly searching, searching, searching — for any sign, any trace, of the imaginary, supposed, Iron Age Nephite civilisation that was never present in Ancient North America that just has to be there...out there...over there...somewhere...
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-61594029Historians were left blushing when they deciphered ancient Roman graffiti carved into stone near Hadrian's Wall.
The insulting comment, inscribed more than 1,700 years ago, was unearthed near Hexham, Northumberland.
It featured words written about someone called Secundinus beside an image of a phallus - typically used as a Roman symbol of good luck or fertility.
However, experts believe its true meaning would have left the subject "less than amused".
Roman epigraphy specialists recognised the message, found at the Roman site of Vindolanda, as a mangled version of the words Secundinus cacator, which translates into English as "Secundinus, the shitter".
They believe the phallic image alongside it added "to the force of the written insult".
