“Clearly, this represents a form of religious thought at the time,” she said, waving one hand at him while holding the artifact and paging through it with her others. “The few documents we have found and translated suggest that ‘I’m so stoned’ became a widespread expression roughly concurrently, suggesting a community.”
“Or it could be a form of subliminal propaganda by which the Stone Culture took over its competitors,” her companion said.
“There is no evidence to suggest that they had any form of subliminal messaging that could take over entire cultures.”
“The time frame for the spread of the culture-”
“The speed of the culture’s spread is in line with existing cultural spreads. Not everything has to rely on hidden forms of mind control, no matter what rumors and lies are spread about how cultures spread.”
From comments.deviantart.com/1/5486… by C-A-Harland , I had to write a story about an archaeologist discovering an artifact that is not a form of technology, include a conspiracy, and do it in under 350 words. This is 137 words, the artifact was a copy of the first Harry Potter book, and the second character is pushing a conspiracy theory about subliminal mind control (alien archaeologist's version of "ALIENS DID IT"). Also, they're both aliens, as hinted in the fact that she has more than two hands. ...and yes, they're badly off. It's a common problem if you're not careful in how you tie together your evidence.
And yes, this is basically continuing last year's theme of "Anthropologists in everything". I'm still not in grad school, and I'm still regretting that fact.
