3,500-year-old graves reveal secrets that rewrite bronze age history

Around 1500 BC, radical changes occurred in people's lives: they ate and lived differently, and the social system was also reorganized.
Bronze Age life changed radically around 1500 BC in Central Europe. New research reveals diets narrowed, millet was introduced, migration slowed, and social systems became looser challenging old ideas about nomadic Tumulus culture herders.

hey maybe you can figure this out. some years ago i was on this ferry to a quite big island in the stockholm archipelago. there were almost no seats anywhere. until... i found like 3. the strange thing is what laid on the floor there. a huge dog. i mean huge. bigger than saint bernard. like 2 meters at least. i dont think i talked to the owner. but i figured it was a wolfdog.

now. since its a halfbreed, i figure real wolves are actually bigger than these? then then were news of theyd resurrected dire wolves, which would be even bigger? but all i gotten to know about wolves, even footage, is that theyre tiny? like small dogs sorta. so i dont get why theyd do this psyop. would people get afraid if they knew that real wolves are as big as bears or even larger? and even seeing videos of wolves in the wild, they also... looked tiny. at least the ones in winter climates. so it all seems like a huge psyop.

i mean they also do the same with pigs. they only photo kultingar, which are tiny. real pigs are at least 1½ meters long. but not cute of course.

Wolfdog is possible but they aren't usually that big. They're about the size of a Malamute and look very similar.

The greathounds -- wolfhounds and deerhounds -- can be enormous.

Here is a size comparison. The biggest dogs can be taller and/or heavier than the biggest surviving wolves, but most wolves are bigger than most dogs.

>> then then were news of theyd resurrected dire wolves, which would be even bigger? <<

Dire wolves are bigger than the biggest surviving wolf, the timber or gray wolf.

>> and even seeing videos of wolves in the wild, they also... looked tiny. at least the ones in winter climates. so it all seems like a huge psyop.<<

You're often seeing them in a forest or on tundra. You need to see them interacting with other animals to get a better sense of scale. Wolves are not small.

Domestic pigs have a wide range of sizes. Many heritage breeds are smaller than commercial breeds and can survive on rough forage. Wild boars can get quite large.

oh, thanks. but no, it was much bigger than that.
