If marriages lasted that long, some husbands could say the same thing.

The short story “Motel of Mysteries” explains what future archeologists will discover about us.

Sounds like a cross between a Trumpet and an Alphorn.
An Alphorn is that 3 meter long Swiss wind instrument that used to be seen on the Ricola Cough Drops commercials.

Back then the shell was used as a bed pan.

Hope they sterilized the thing so the musician doesn’t get an 18,000 year old cave bat conch virus.

The cave is over 100 miles away from the ocean, which says to me that it wan't there by accident.

It was used for making noise, for some reason - music, warning, call to worship, who knows?

I’m working on a 5,000 year plan to make the digging worthwhile.

Details to anyone willing to sign an NDA...
