actual quotes from my art history professor
- “persian emissaries spoke in a valley girl accent and that is a verifiable historical fact!”
- “going back to historical references in modern media, some of you may recognize this guy xerxes because it’s a really cool name. for example, have any of you watched or read, uh, ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’? Okay that’s one, two, alright more than four of you! Thank god, it is mainstream.”
- “Ancient folks really knew how to make a cool hats!”
- “And then the King would have the scribes write on his statue things like “MY KING IS THE BEST KING THE GODS FAVOR HIM AND WOMEN LOVE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS….PENIS?””
