A piece of rock with mysterious markings that lay largely unstudied for 4,000 years is now being hailed as a “treasure map” for archaeologists, who are using it to hunt for ancient sites around north-western France.
I think it’s interesting that instead of talking about how cool this is, we’re all talking about whether a tldr was just a helpful blurb or the harbinger of the downfall of literacy…
But this is really cool! I wonder what happened to those old villages or towns and what languages they spoke. Do you think they would’ve been related to the Basque peoples? I also have to wonder whether there are still any human settlements in the places marked on the map. How cool would that be, to learn your sleepy hamlet had been standing there since before bronze was a thing?

TL;DR: It’s a map that points to different ancient towns so it’s a treasure map for the archaeologists

I only read the article because of your tldr, it sounded too clickbaity the way the editors of the magazine titled it.

I was hoping it was a treasure map from an ancient food franchise.

Why does everyone need a tldr? Why can’t people just read the article? It isn’t like it’s long.

I think tldr’s are justified if the headline is clickbaity or misleading.

People scroll past hundreds of articles a day. We gotta decide which ones are worth it.
Step 1: Title Step 2: TL DR Step 3: read
Gotta pass 1 and 2 before I get to 3. I only have so much time on my lunch break. Im not wasting it on a click bait article
