What I’ve found particularly surprising is the sudden new discoveries out of old sites and areas. You’d think the Med basin was well understood and that the “facts” about it were well established and sorted.
Is it just me or is the world or archeology awaking to the fact that humans moved in large groups, often and far?
I don't know. Everything seems obvious once discovered.
I literally do not know one millionth of what people have done in this world over my lifetime. Or maybe that's one billionth. Yet I would know if I could what people have done over ten thousand years. Doesn't seem likely that I'm that capable.
