And here I thought I came up with that idea. Oh well, maybe I can use it as a BBQ pit.

Had to be some caveman’s wife who was upset he missed her birthday and their anniversary for the 10th time.

Interesting.The Romans invented wide scale water distribution,the Brits invented the calendar and the Religion of Pieces invented the suicide vest.

Fascinating stuff.

But the mid-winter solstice? Is that related to the winter solstice?

it is twice the age of time-keeping systems created by the ancient Mesopotamians, which were thought to be the world's oldest

I have to laugh everytime scientists have to reevaluate their previous be all to end all findings when something new pops up.
