2020-04-02 04:45:40 UTC  

runes

2020-04-02 04:45:43 UTC

2020-04-02 04:45:47 UTC  

exactly a commonplace writing

2020-04-02 04:45:55 UTC  

They aren't meant for commonplace use

2020-04-02 04:45:57 UTC  

your average peasant isnt going to engrave a fucking rock with runes

2020-04-02 04:46:05 UTC  

anyways to answer your question osbornia

2020-04-02 04:46:13 UTC  

@Osbornia the answer is mesopotamia lol

2020-04-02 04:46:15 UTC  

look at it

2020-04-02 04:46:18 UTC  

Stone tablet

2020-04-02 04:46:20 UTC  

how many europeans come from mesopotamia?

2020-04-02 04:46:23 UTC  

basically none

2020-04-02 04:46:32 UTC  

Sargon did.

2020-04-02 04:46:33 UTC  

most people in europe in the middle ages were barbarians

2020-04-02 04:46:38 UTC  

an average peasant may still buy a cooking book though

2020-04-02 04:46:39 UTC  

from the steppes or northern wastes

2020-04-02 04:46:40 UTC  

we even have math homework from babylon

2020-04-02 04:46:45 UTC  

none of whom had a written language

2020-04-02 04:46:47 UTC  

and even the few that did

2020-04-02 04:46:54 UTC  

the language was solely the domain of the priesthood

2020-04-02 04:46:58 UTC  

Not really what do they have to cook that they don't already have?

2020-04-02 04:47:00 UTC  

now if you consider mesopotamia itself

2020-04-02 04:47:05 UTC  

they literally didnt teach peasants shit

2020-04-02 04:47:09 UTC  

they had an entire class of people

2020-04-02 04:47:16 UTC  

who were the only ones who could read and write

2020-04-02 04:47:21 UTC  

not even nobles could read and write

2020-04-02 04:47:30 UTC  

The scribe class, lol?

2020-04-02 04:47:32 UTC  

Luci spitting fire!

2020-04-02 04:47:33 UTC  

yes

2020-04-02 04:47:34 UTC  

> how many europeans come from mesopotamia?
@Lucienne d'Anwyl Whoa there, bigot, cool it w/ the hate speech. Don't you know that Middle-Easterners are the *true* Europeans? <:thunk:462282216467333140>

2020-04-02 04:47:36 UTC  

And truth.

2020-04-02 04:47:43 UTC  

Writing as a craft

2020-04-02 04:47:43 UTC  

but anyways

2020-04-02 04:47:46 UTC  

Then

2020-04-02 04:47:52 UTC  

most of our european ancestors came from barbarian tribes

2020-04-02 04:47:54 UTC  

like the germans

2020-04-02 04:47:56 UTC  

the polish

2020-04-02 04:47:56 UTC  

Like other craftsmen

2020-04-02 04:47:59 UTC  

the mongols

2020-04-02 04:48:00 UTC  

etc.
