this is a well known artifact.

civilization and knowledge has been around for much longer than most of us think.

The first thing conquerors do is destroy history and knowledge.

from the libraries of Alexandria and Atlantis to the wealth of knowledge and texts of the Aztek. and those are just the A’s

Someone once said “There is nothing new under the Sun”
another said “Human nature never changes”

A lot of the time I wonder if this is really true.
