What is that, 350 generations ago?
Seems both a long and short time.

It would be hard not to think of the head as being the seat of consciousness when the eyes and ears are there conducting reality into the brain.
However, some modern cultures believe the seat of consciousness to be the heart. So a link between porcelain heads and belief in the home of consciousness ain't necessarily so.

Too bad it's not Assad's shattered skull as a result of a sniper round 2 hours ago.

I'd tell you what it is that I hate about senility if I could just remember what it is.

When you consider that there are living trees in California that were living before the Patriarch Abraham was born, it seems a short time.

The Ancient Bristlecone PineYup. These trees have been used to date some catastrophic events on earth that were recorded in their tree-rings.
"Earth's oldest living inhabitant "Methuselah" at 4,767 years, has lived more than a millennium longer than any other tree."
There's a cresote bush out west somewhere that is the oldest living thing alive.

Cresote Bush"Creosote bush commonly forms clonal colonies, which may be very long-lived; a ring of creosote bushes in the Mojave Desert is believed to be at least 12,000 years old."

By the way, the largest living thing is a fungus in Washington state.
A Fungus Among Us
"This most recent find was estimated to cover over 2,200 acres (890 hectares) and be at least 2,400 years old, possibly older."

I'm starting to think more and more that MAYBE we had more of an advanced civilization at some time in the past, and that civilization declined and was almost destroyed by whatever events almost drove the mega fauna to extinction.
I've heard rumors that there are some in the open academic community who are talking that the pyramids themselves might be as much as 10,000 years old.

"I've heard rumors that there are some in the open academic community who are talking that the pyramids themselves might be as much as 10,000 years old. " Dr Robert Schoch, geologist/geophysist, has dated the Sphinx at 9,000 years old. I don't know of anyone reputable who claims that the pyramids are that old.
