yeah because I have a real job (retail) not whispering to the lightning through the haunted frame like yall
Damn apparently you’re a poet too
“Shopkeeper” would be a pretty damn good job title too compared to retail.
‘Shopkeeper’ implies you might actually own the shop you keep. Modern retail provides few such jobs.
I don’t think the people in the 1700s would care
They had accountants in the 1700s. The principles of double entry bookkeeping remain the same, but the technology difference with computers and accounting software would make the day to day work unrecognizable.
Hell they had accountants in 3000’s BCE, oldest know examples of real writing are receipts. Actually the oldest recorded name we know, Kushim, belonged to kind of accountant.
Do you watch stefan milo?
No, never even heard about him.
oh, he does archeology youtubes and just did a video on “the oldest name”. He’s pretty cool edit: It was a pretty cool video too. he also asked “oldest name we know a lot about” and “oldest name of a non-royal we know a lot about” in that video
“oldest name of a non-royal we know a lot about”
Iirc the oldest royal name we know is Narmer, and Kushim most probably lived earlier than him. We certainly do know more about Narmer than Kushim though.
The question he asked was more like “oldest person who’s life was somewhat documented” so he goes later to find the first person with a recorded history. I wanna say he ended up on someone in an egyptian king’s court
I think it was Imhotep, priest, architect and doctor at the court of Djoser, credited with designing the first great pyramid and later deified for that. Problem is that nearly all sources on him are much later.
