Ah yes, of course 😆

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:56 PM

Your guess is as good as ours 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:55 PM

That's probably more like it 🤣 Seriously awful 😖

From the same AI heavy documentary (currently on British TV screens), here's

[Checks notes]

the emperor Hadrian arriving in London AD 122

We really don't know where to start with this... 😱

#AI #ArchaeologyHorror

The emperor Hadrian or Alexander the Great or Attlia the Hun or Vlad the impaler or Gengis Khan (or anyone really) in weird sci-fi armour on horseback surrounded by comedy Trojans / Romans

Indeed 🙄

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:17 PM

Wow 😬 An offer you really can refuse 🤣 Getting an expert in right from the start and not using AI at all That's the dream 👍

Watching a documentary about the emperor Hadrian's visit to Britain in AD 122

There's a lot of AI

If you're going to use AI (which you shouldn't) at least get an expert to check it

Hadrian's Wall has been studied for 100s of years

We don't know what this Wall is 😱

An AI image, supposedly of Hadrian's Wall Roman frontier system, depicting a very large stone gate topped by a Medieval farmhouse, with post Medieval drystone wall and two confused legionaries

What about hamster ownership in a hypocaust? Asking for a friend

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:37 PM

🤣🤣

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:29 PM

It really is 😍

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:28 PM

That's the one 😉

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:28 PM

Just a normal Sunday afternoon

@durotrigesdig.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 8:28 PM

A great place to have as your *backyard* growing up. Well jealous 🤩

Not so much #standingstonesunday as stone Sunday but spent some time up Hendre'r Mynydd, the Iron Age settlement, at Rhigos Mountain , near me in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 today. The mist-rain made the mountains and valleys almost invisible at one point.

So much moving stillness

At Hendre'r Mynydd. Stones make up part of a curved wall and mossy grass and browning heather surrounds it. Thick mist makes the surrounding mountains look hazy

This Stegosaurus-style Avebury stone must have once looked very different before it broke...

Alexander Keiller cobbled it together in the 1930s from bits found nearby
