I love this story and in my head cannon she’s a skilled gamer, but these dice-like bones were also used a lot for divination - checking with the spirits or ancestors, that kind of thing.

So she could’ve been a witchy teen.

Please don’t bury me with my pc games.
I haven’t even played most of them.

She loved this game more than anything, we will bury her with it so she can be happy in the afterlife ~her parents

Cool I’m wrecked

Archeological evidence that spectrum behavior is not a new thing.

(I mean this in a positive way (fuck you antivaxers) but if someone thinks it’s stereotyping I’ll delete it.)

Bury me with my Minecraft server.

No, archeologists, do not mind your business. Keep doing your job of discovering cool, interesting things about the past, keep expressing wonder at those cool & interesting things, and keep informing us of all of those cool, interesting things. How the fuck else would we have known about a Bronze Age gamer girl?

Oh, and let’s hang out some time? I wanna see that badass fucking pog collection of yours and hear all the stories that come with it!

Could you deep fry this just a touch more?

The ankle bones are called asyk in Kazakhstan. Here’s the list of games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shagai#Games.

Meanwhile, 5000 years ago: “thank god the sheep ankle kid is dead. We can finally get rid of all of these sheep ankles she bugs us about all the time.”

I always thought dice like those were made from vertebrae

I guess they’re ankle bones

Ooor … nobody cared enough about the game to take em back.

She could also have been a dice maker

That seems kind of sweet. She passed young, and her family, and possibly friends and other kids she played with, made sure she was the champ in this world and the next. Not many people are loved that much.

Wait, pigs are still a thing?
