So, the global economy was just humming along, trade shipments from central Europe were arriving at a steady pace. Life was pretty good.
Then -- WHAM! -- the Brits figured out agriculture!
That's when things really escalated quickly.

They grew wheat back then and used Stonehenge to grind the wheat into flour.

1,500’to 2,500 years for agriculture to diffuse from the near east to the Balkans. About one mile per year?
That’s astonishingly slow.

"This is incredibly exciting..."
A bit of an overstatement here. Just a bit.
