I'm an expert on The Stone Tape, if that helps.

laurenwrites.bsky.social•17 hours ago

It does indeed. Can I DM you?

accordingtojond.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Sure.

elisabethhobbes.co.uk•14 hours ago

I don’t but I spent ages trying to work out if that was an acrostic.

@lhardingwrites.bsky.social might be able to help with relics and ossuaries.

lhardingwrites.bsky.social•17 hours ago

@anna-orridge.bsky.social beat you too it!

anna-orridge.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Have we got some kind of internet telepathy thing going on here, lols?

chaoticauthor.online•16 hours ago

Haha seems like it

I might be able to help with Egyptology. Not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I did a couple of modules for my undergraduate degree in archaeology

laurenwrites.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thanks Matt! Looks like I'm getting a few suggestions for the Egyptology thing, but I'll definitely keep you in mind 🙏

@johnjjohnston.bsky.social! I am sending up the bat signal for you! (I know Lauren and she is awesome!)

johnjjohnston.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Thank you! Lauren, I’ve responded to the signal!

anatomicalcat.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I can help with ossuaries!

meanlouise.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yes. Let’s chat!

laurenwrites.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Permission to DM? 🙏

meanlouise.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Yes, sorry, please DM 😂 I was just coming back because I realized I didn’t offer options.

Thanks Sarah! I can certainly do ossuaries

annelisebaer.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Not a teacher but I can RT like a pro to my network on here 😁

anna-orridge.bsky.social•17 hours ago

@lhardingwrites.bsky.social might be able to help with ossuaries/relics bit.

lhardingwrites.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Paul Koulounakis is a great start for ossuaries and catacombs saints - Empire of Death and Holy Bodies are the two most relevant (and beautiful) books

chaoticauthor.online•17 hours ago

Ha, I tagged you and you replied possibly 10 nanoseconds later 😂

lhardingwrites.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Barletts's Why Can The Dead Do Such Great Things is also about as complete a history of medieval saints' cults as you can get and was foundational for my PhD

anna-orridge.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thanks, Lawrence 💀❤️

anna-orridge.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The first person that comes to my mind is @wellmanneredxs.bsky.social

wellmanneredxs.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Thanks Anna - that's very lovely of you. 😊
@laurenwrites.bsky.social
the first I might know a bit about - and I'm not entirely sure what stone tape theory is but if it's what I think it is, I've been pondering it...

anna-orridge.bsky.social•14 hours ago

It's the idea that stones might be able to act like a kind of tape recorder of dramatic/traumatic incidents.

anna-orridge.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Probably most memorably depicted in Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape... which still stands up, IMHO

wellmanneredxs.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I thought that was what it was! I have enough (perfectly reliable) friends who can see and sense things that I do wonder whether some sightings etc are indeed trapped/fossilised memory. (Thanks for the film recommendation! Is it perchance... a bit scary?)

wellmanneredxs.bsky.social•14 hours ago

It blimming well looks scary, now I've looked it up...

@cadaverformosus.bsky.social is your person for ossuaries/relics; I can talk to you about Stone Tape stuff

huwtd.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Hi.

jlucianblackwell.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The Stone Tape peeked my curiosity, and I stumbled across this website about it all. https://hauntedwalk.com/news/the-stone-tape-theory/

cadaverformosus.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I got you for ossuaries and relics.

lisagrimm.bsky.social•14 hours ago

It’s more a hobby, but I’ve done *a lot* of reading/research/the odd podcast on pre-Kneale stone tape stuff, most notably on TC Lethbridge’s theories…also an ex-archaeologist, but too far back for it to matter. Happy to suggest some reading!

Kara Cooney is Egyptologist @ UCLA. She has a podcast called Afterlives of Ancient Egypt.

tcparker.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Have you spoken to @gothicbookworm.bsky.social?

I used to follow her blog on mummies, and it was brilliant!
