It’s highly likely ancient people would be very well spoken, given they had to talk and convince each other of things all the time. Also most of their recreation would have involved talking to some degree or another.
So I would probably do a poetry sesh about how this fucking bonkers terrifying and um could the sun come back please?
idk. Some people in historical eras could predict them pretty well. A bunch of old monuments and big rocks are designed to line up with different astronomical dates. Maybe people thought it was super weird and scary, or maybe they were just like “Huh, I guess moon just passed over the sun. Wild. Hey grandpa you know any stories about this?”
I’m sure it was shocking and frightening if you didn’t know it could happen.
I didn’t see it i was in cave watching rock
The Rock is truly the greatest entertainer of all time
Ancient people weren’t stupid though. Sure there would be those who thought the world was ending, but we have a lot of evidence that people attempted to understand these phenomena to the best of their abilities. For example, one of the leading theories on the purpose of Stonehenge was that it was an observatory designed to predict eclipses. As for me, I’d probably start worshiping the sun after the eclipse is finished so that it wouldn’t go away again, then start building Stonehenge of course hahahaha.

Xena taught me that it’s the remains of a temple for the cult of Dahak, the One God of Evil.
I guess we doin 🌌 now
If we’re talking literal cavemen, like hunter gatherer societies that hadn’t really discovered the technology of farming yet, then I’d believe the world was fucking ending for about an hour. Then be like “oh… it didn’t… back to figuring out how to not die today.”
probably more like 20 mins tbh. it’s not that noticeable until very close to totality
but yeah for those 20, sheer panic lol.
Night time early. Grugg sleep now.
AAUG EYE FIRE HURT
Hey, who turned off the lights?
sure hope i don’t get betrayed by the leader of my warrior band in a hellish sacrifice
I legit threw the book across the room.
extremely valid reaction. there’s an old man on tiktok that’s been slowly reading it, spoiler free, he’s an absolute casca-head, and he is almost to the eclipse. i am genuinely afraid for this stranger’s mental health.
I saw the movie trilogy first and was still upset when I got to it in the comic. Honestly wish I could have gone into it completely blank but then again, it may have felt even worse lmao
I’m just bummed Muria died just as we got to having Casca’s mind restored. He said we were about 3/5ths of the way through. We were going to see Guts and Casca reunited to take out Griffith.
I would assume it was a message from an all powerful god selecting me to be the ruler of the universe. and that I should masturbate more frequently.
so, basically the same as how I interpret one today.

Oh shit, oh fuck.
A sign from the universe to not touch grass and go back to talking shit on the cave wall forums.
