I need to stop reading Wikipedia...

Posted by Michael83 on December 11, 2006, at 23:36:43

NOTE: Moderately unnerving imagery in this post. Avoid if triggered.

Last night I started and couldn't stop reading Wikipedia articles on medieval times (mostly British heptarchy). I probably read about them for 2 hours.

I've said before that I love reading non-fiction, especially about history, and even moreso about the Middle Ages, but getting caught up reading about a bunch of people who lived over a thousand years ago, and see all the unnerving images (paintings/tapestries) really freaks me out. And the thought that someone had lived over a thousand years ago just puts a strain on my imagination.

And then I started looking at pictures of their burial sites and monuments, strange statues of people with frail looking bodies.

After I pulled myself away the room just felt quiet and empty. Just really disturbing. UGH Reading about extremely old things and people that lived long ago just really freaks me out.
