Well, my body has been found from one of my past lives. Those earrings and that ring were some of my favorites I'm sure! LOL

If that ruler was actually marked in centimeters and millimeters, something is seriously wrong...

You beat me to it. Some pathetic archeologist trying to come up with a dissertation topic happened upon the theory that the inhabitants of some ancient city never used earrings. He got his degree, but now his theory has been conclusively disproved. Like we care.

Burnt City "ruler" looks more like the fragments of a modern comb.

That's the backup dissertation topic.

Archaeologists had previously discovered a 10-centimeter ruler with an accuracy of half a millimeter in the ruins of the ancient city. How much is that in cubits?

"Archaeologists had believed that the use of earrings was not common in the city, but the newly discovered earrings disprove that idea."
They find one pair of earrings and that disproves that they weren't common?

Right. Maybe they were strictly burial wear and live inhabitants wouldn't be caught dead in them. :-)

In another recent find, a clay tablet was discovered. It was the equivalent of a modern day newspaper. The headline declared, "Woman burned for wearing earrings! Subheading: New fad imported from Babylon won't catch on here."
