It’s amazing that so many years ago people lived their lives thinking that they and their culture would be around forever.

Each generation and each culture thinks that, at least a little.

And before you know it, you’re an archaeological dig.

Fascinating and depressing at the same time :)

I often wondered how the bow and arrow became global. Or how is it that every society that we see on Earth today developed membranophones, ie drums with skin (membranes) heads. In both these cases it’s interesting to note that in Australia the Aborigines hadn’t either bow and arrows or drums. That indicates to me, the Australian Aborigines developed culturally apart every other group of peoples on the rest of the globe.
