Who’s in charge of the AskHistorians Twitter? I need to know who to blame and/or shout out for this blursed thread.

While we’re at it, this reply to the original tweet bears sharing as well.

That is all.

I recorded a podcast on West Mexican archaeology way back in January in the Before Times. With the pandemic things got put on hold for awhile, but I am excited to share with you part one of a two part episode Mesoamerican Studies On-Air, which is part of the website Mesoamerican Studies Online. For those of you that may remember, I did do an episode of the /r/AskHistorians podcast several years ago. Hopefully since that time I have improved on what I know and how to explain a relatively under researched region to those unfamiliar with this period and location in history.

I’ve managed to trace my paternal lineage back to the 1400s. (15x great grandfather or something) They were yeomen and had money apparently.

Firstly, what did a yeoman do? Secondly, where would they have lost all of their wealth?! (Hypothetically)

Is there any way to check how accurate a textbook is? I'm a history teacher who is pretty new to it (first year with history, 8th year overall) and I caught my textbook misrepresenting certain events in American History. I am correcting it as I go, but if there is a resource that could help that would be great. Would save a lot of time as well.

Who was the most eccentric artist of all time?

I'm on the fence between Cellini and Dali

How did they avoid counterfeit paper money in the Tang Dynasty back in the 10th century?

What podcasts do people recommend for learning about the Jews in ancient Egypt, the cathar and the hugoenaughts?

I sometimes come to this sub trying to look at responses to questions that genuinely interest me and no, zero, comments/replies are visible to me...

But I can see every comment on the penis tweet.

ELI5, what is happening here?

Do any historians here use GIS in their research? How advanced is your use of GIS? What are the primary uses for GIS in your work? And do you have any available examples of GIS used in a history paper.

Watching the British museums Viking expedition Neil Macgregor refers to the silver statue of Odin being in feminine form. I believe his explanation was Odin is in female dress representing magic, sorcery, and prophecy. While also calling him masculine as the god of war. Are magic and prophecy held as feminine ideals in early Nordic culture? Not quite sure how to ask my question. I guess what I’m asking is how he drew these conclusions from the silver statue.
