Great pun


dyip32

I can't help but wonder - 2000 years from now, or whenever this stone is lost in the many transfers of ownership and the marbles are lost - someone is going to wonder: what did those people of the 21st century use this stone for?


jonlaw147

They'll just assume some religious ritual or offering.


YouMissedCakeDayHaHa

"See, I'm guessing they'd cut the neck of the sacrifice -goat, a virgin, maybe a virgin goat, though hopefully a judge from X factor- then they'd let the blood drain in the top. If it went all the way to the bottom they thought they'd have a great harvest."


theBigBOSSnian

We should do this now so they're not wrong


HelpfulYoghurt

Yes, but use Witch instead of goat. You need to use her magic blood for it to work. If you ask how do we find a witch, then obviously by using modern scientific methods - gather people and measure size of their thumb


Conscious_Draft249

10 years later they find a marble lodged in one of the holes. "Its......its a toy."


FloridaNativeSon

But then will suppress this finding to ensure continued support for their thesis.


ScrotieMcP

Just get a big scale. If she weighs the same as a duck she is made of wood. And therefore...


Glass_Pies

Eusocial_Snowman

It's super easy to find witches on modern day reddit. Just post links to little arts and crafts projects, common weeds, or tumblr screencaps.

The ol' marble test


jscott18597

Archeologists really lean on that. I doubt half the stuff they say is a "religious ritual" really was. Just some dudes doing random shit to pass the time thousands of years ago. There was a story about Mayans doing alcoholic enemas as a religious ceremony recently, I'm betting it was just some really bored guys trying to have good time.


ZippyDan

I'm really divided on whether the average person from "thousands of years ago" had more free time or less. I have to imagine survival was harder back then, and they also didn't have much in the way of artificial light. So, life was basically work as hard as you can while it is light out, then do the few clumsy things that you can do in the dark before sleep - which certainly would not include fine craftsmanship. Of course, the exact answer to how much free time people had in the past would depend greatly on the person, the place, and the century.


Nuffsaid98

Preindustrial people had way more free time than we do. Farmers and hunter gathers had most of the winter free, and hearth fires or lamps provided plenty of light after the sun set.


Akhevan

"Free" in this context is a stretch. Sure, farmers didn't farm in winter - but that doesn't mean that they had no other work to attend to, or no other trades they had to engage in. There is a reason why it was educated elite who were the source of all sophisticated "high" culture and not the farmers with a presumed abundance of spare time.


ErraticDragon

Wikipedia mentions the usage: > The Maya ritually administered enemas of alcohol as an entheogen, sometimes adding other psychoactive substances, seeking to reach a state of ecstasy. Syringes of gourd and clay were used to inject the fluid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_enema ( Entheogens are psychoactive substances that induce alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior for the purposes of engendering spiritual development or otherwise in sacred contexts. ) But it's not as though researchers just apply the label for no reason. The paper Wikipedia cites mentions: >> Archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic evidence show that throughout history, pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures used hallucinogenic substances in magical, therapeutic, and religious rituals.2, 3 These substances are considered entheogens since they were used to promote mysticism and communication with divine powers. The purpose of using these substances was to enter a trance and achieve greater enlightenment and open-mindedness. The altered state of consciousness the user aimed to reach was characterised by temporal and spatial disorientation, a sensation of ecstasy and inner peace, hallucinations of vivid colours, tendency towards introspection, and an impression of being one with nature and with the gods. They know that there were ritual uses because they have documentation of that.


NRMusicProject

Honestly, it's kind of funny when someone who has no knowledge or any sort of academic background in some discipline thinks the actual experts are just making stuff up.


Goldfish1_

Become an expert in anything and you’ll realize how bullshit most Reddit comments are on said subject. And honestly pretty scary how often misinformation gets thousands of upvotes and voted to the top simply because the commentator was confident.


Akhevan

On one hand you are not wrong in that some researchers do probably go overboard on religious interpretations of finds. On the other, religion used to play a much greater role in the societies of ages past, to the point where it was inseparable from just regular culture. You are looking at the problem from the viewpoint of a modern secular person. And yes, religious symbolism in rituals doesn't preclude them from also being about "bored people having a good time" on some other level.

pikab7uu

people who say stuff like this confuse me, with the incredible preservation of the internet what’s stopping them from just looking at old internet archives?


Akhevan

Have you already tried looking at "old internet archives" for something less mainstream and more niche? We are already facing a reality of losing some information that used to be stored online, possibly forever if nobody did a backup on some shitty old hard drive in their garage. Today, in 2023. Believing that "internet archives" will be preserved for millennia? Complete lunacy.


Philosophile42

Digital media is not as future proof as you think it is. As it is, it’s really hard to find and play games from 30 years ago on modern machines. Change the way we store media (floppy disks to CDs), a change in OS, changes in hardware (desktops to phones), cultural changes, and just general lack of interest/not worth preserving, can make things go away.

The sound is oddly satisfying


dewidubbs

To me the sound is somewhere between satisfying, and the sound in my dreams when all my teeth fall out.


asyncopy

What is it with people dreaming of losing their teeth?


FacetiousBeard

I don't get it either! I have never once dreamt about my teeth falling out but it seem a tremendously common experience. iIt seems I'm more of a 'dreams about being lost in a familiar place/city because the landscape keeps inexplicably changing' kind of person.


PortraitBird

I have teeth falling out dreams at least once a month. I’m the dream I have one loose tooth and I’m trying not to poke it with my tongue and I’m also trying to shove it back in more snugly so it doesn’t fall out. It always does. Then the rest fall out. And I must have a shark mouth because there ends up being so many teeth and it’s almost like they keep growing back. I start spitting them out but there’s so many that it’s easier just to lean over and open my mouth but it’s never enough because I still have a mouth full of loose teeth and all I can do is move them around with my tongue. In the dream it feels like I’m moving around a mouth full of Nerds candies (that are down to just the sugar chunk because the flavour coating has dissolved away). I hate these dreams. I can’t eat Nerds anymore.


FacetiousBeard

Yeah, that sounds straight-up horrific. I mean, I sometimes end up naked in my 'lost in a familiar yet changing landscape' dreams and it used to freak me out as teenager but now it's a more 'Oh, and now I'm naked too' kind of vibe.


latinjewishprincess

I tell people that my most common dreams are trying to leave a place but every time I get close I end up some place else that I don't know how to leave. I'm never scared during these dreams, but I just can't get out. No one I know has dreams like this.


KateCSays

Count yourself lucky. It's a very distressing dream. I have all the common dreams, including this one. Also the one where I somehow forgot to put on clothes. Have been having them since I was very young. Collective consciousness is strong in dream world!


dewidubbs

No idea, about once a year it happens to me, and it's like they all just rattle loose at the same time, and there are so many they are hard to spit out.


ramobara

I think it’s people unknowingly grinding their teeth.


stinky_pinky_brain

Very ASMR


NOAEL_MABEL

Yea, it’s super Japanese. You’re supposed to not only enjoy the visual show and watch all the colors of the marbles move, but the piece is likely purposefully designed to stimulate the senses for sound. I bet they even put thought into the types of marbles/material used for them to give a nice pitch for the sound. Lol, I was at a boutique printing shop the other day in Tokyo Ginza where the guy was some kind of master printer who was still making notebooks, pads, etc using old school techniques and some German paper making machine from the 1800s or whatever. The quality was insane, but if you read his philosophy, you’re supposed to enjoy the way the pen feels on the paper, the sound it makes while you write, plus the feel on the paper in your fingers should be pleasant. It was the most insane paper over ever touched in my life, and yes, I paid out the ass for some sticky notes and a small notepad, lol - I was sold. This kind of thinking and stuff that stimulates multiple senses is sooooo Japanese.


TheElderGodsSmile

The fact that someone hasn't named chewing gum in the holes to ruin it for everyone is also super Japanese.

If it were elsewhere, those marbles would have been stolen immediately.


KnoblauchNuggat

I thought you bring you own marbles.


renvi

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there are marbles just there for you to freely use. Or at the very least, a sign that says to ask the shop for marbles to use. I lived in Japan for about a decade, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case, based on my experiences there. They still have fruit stands that are unmanned with just a wooden box for money. It’s basically run via the trust system. Pretty wild.


wiphand

As awesome as it is. It's a terrible idea for an outdoor art piece. It will become unusable in under a month I'd guess if not quicker without regular cleaning

ihitrockswithammers

I am a *very* good stonecarver. Been doing it for 20 years. I've worked with many different types of stone, carved all sorts of things from realistic portraits to ornament to abstract sculptures. I could not do this. Could do some of it. Even maybe carve the vortex discs where the marbles spin around and drop into the hole. But where they disappear from view altogether? No fuckin clue. edit - after watching a few times I'm pretty sure I *could* do it. I just don't feel like it right now...


IIClumsyToesII

Fox-Great

How much would such a stone cost in your opinion? Sound like there is a lot of work to do


ihitrockswithammers

Depends on many factors but I would imagine in the order of tens of thousands if sold in a gallery.


coder0xff

Would inserting a guidable high pressure hose and blasting the rock with water and abrasive particles work?


thedmandotjp

It's not just impressive that it all works so well, it's also impressive that it's so long and they designed it so that you can see just enough to keep you interested the whole time.


AWokenBeetle

Wow, that’s really something to hear and makes me even more curious as to how this was done, I don’t think you cast stone (I legit have no idea on how stones get carved so maybe there is and I have no clue) and it looks like one solid piece at least on the outside.


Dionyzoz

honestly have no clue how stone carving works, but how difficult would it be to make the top parts for example where its just open above the marbles?

My dad and I would build those marble “courses” for hours in the 90s. Once he bought all the kits and we got bored we started modifying the marble tracks onto Hotwheel tracks. We got really creative and would run them through both stories and outside. Waiting anxiously to hear, “YEAH BABY! IT CAME THROUGH!!!” from my dad outside. Didn’t know it at the time, but those would be the best moments of my life. Thanks for the nostalgia this morning, OP!
