Thanks Blam. The weird thing is, they made earrings, but couldn't wear them because they had no ears. ;') Welcome GGG newbies.

Burnt City ''ruler'' looks more like the fragments of a modern comb.

That's what I thought--makes me curious at the situ where it was discovered & how they arrived at deciding it was a 'ruler'. I can see it as some sort of 'spacer' or jig, which would make it a 'ruler' in the nominal sense of the word. That said, as a frustrated sometimes woodbutcher, the craftsman who made it has my respect.

Archaeologists had believed that the use of earrings was not common in the city, but the newly discovered earrings disprove that idea.

Isn’t it a bit early to state that earrings were common based on one grave and one pair? She could have been a visitor, or an early nonconformist.

Centicubits and millicubits?

I have a theory that early inhabitants of Burnt City did not wear bunny slippers - not even while surfing the internet.

Last December, Sajjadi announced the discovery of an earthenware bowl at the Burnt City which bore images of what experts believe is the world’s oldest “animated” picture drawn around it.

"Ha, ha! Pluto, we were not the first. Uncle Walt was a copy cat."

"G..g..g..goodbye, folks."

They did wear bunny slippers, but those are flammable, and, well, it is the "burnt city"...
