It’s kind of strange that so much stuff was still in the building. It’s as if it were abandoned in a hurry. No time to pack and no time for anyone to loot it.

Musta been Russkies coming.

I know you were being facetious, riverine :), but these were probably the ancestors of the Russians, Indians, Europeans etc. -- I find ethnolinguistics fascinating, especially the (relatively) short time it takes for nations to be formed from other nations or to split

The Slovaks and Czechs are a recent example, but even most Slavs were undifferentiated as recently as 600 AD - Poles, Czechs, East Slavs, Southern Slavs spoke the same language and were one "ethnicity"

Even Germanics spoke similar languages around the time of Christ
