Interesting how we as a Civilization are now coming full-circle, with Ceramics now becoming the New Iron...
Whodathunkit?
A mate of mine has a ceramic combat knife. It is much, much sharper than any of the steel knives I own. It is light-weight and stronger than steel. It keeps a sharp edge for a very long time, seldom requiring sharpening. It will not set off metal detectors...
Ceramics, plastics, and carbon-fiber technologies, will soon eclipse metal for all useful and practical purposes, heralding the dawn of a New Age!
One of those rocks (artifacts) looks like a dried-up turd!
