Congratulations to the 'Best of July' Award Winners

by Georgy_K_Zhukov

The votes are in!

This month, /u/cleopatra_philopater regains the podium, taking the 'User's Choice Award' for their work on the question "Cleopatra is pretty (in)famous for her sexual exploits at this point. Is this based in ancient accounts or is it a modern invention?"

Meanwhile the newcomer /u/bentresh caps off their first month as a flair by taking the "Flair's Choice Award" for the answer to "How did the standards and ethics of excavation during the earlier days of Egyptology affect the preservation of information, and our understanding of Ancient Egypt?"

And finally, out of a field of several worthy candidates, the Dark Horse Award, for the highest voted contribution from a non-flair, goes by a nose to /u/bees_in_my_face who responded to "Bigfoot, Twin Peaks, and sparkling vampires- where does the trope of supernatural or "weird" occurrences in the Pacific Northwest originate?"

So as always, a big congratulations to the winners, and a big thanks to everyone who contributed to the subreddit in the past month! Also a reminder, if you want to nominate answers for the monthly awards, the best way to do so is to submit your favorite posts every week to the Sunday Digest!

Thank you for the gold!

You guys are great, and I am glad you like absurdly long Cleopatra based posts because I love writing them for you.

Bentresh

I'm honored! It's been such a fun first month.

Welp, when it's right it's right.

Really though, I did not expect to be recognized for an off the cuff analysis of such a small area of expertise. Thank you for the gold.
