GGG Ping!............
I bet there was a lot of this stuff that ended up as sub-base on road projects through the ages.
Was it an iPad or an Android tablet?
They had Ovaltine back then?
I believe the fragment says:
“Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels—bring home for Emma.”

The Mycenaeans—made legendary in part by Homer's Iliad, which fictionalizes their war with Troy—dominated much of Greece from about 1600 B.C. to 1100 B.C...
At one time these self same "experts" were claiming that Troy didn't really exist, it too was a myth. Now they claim the Iliad "fictionalizes" the war. Maybe, or maybe something happened back then that they do not understand.
What does it say? “Page intentionally left blank”?
Ahhh, just as I suspected. Ancient pron with an attached phone book.
For example, writings found in China, Mesopotamia, and Egypt are thought to date as far back as 3,000 B.C.
Oh, No, No, No! Its impossible for ancient White Europeans to be as advanced as those brown and yellow people of China, Mesopotamia and Egypt!
...why "surprisingly"?
...people are people. There have been engineers, geeks, doctors, accountants, historians,..etc since the beginning of time. Just because they lacked advanced technology (which only comes with time) does not mean that these people were dumb or stupid or backward.
I for one, am not a bit "surprised" at anything that is found in antiquity. What is surprising to me is that someone is "surprised" at anything they find in the rubble.
As a matter of fact, I think that the deeper people dig, the more they are going to find. Every age builds on the top of the last age....
....the bottom layer is still down there.
I believe this dates from right around the time of the Thera (Santorini) eruption.
It’s part of a discarded restaurant menu.
Dit they have the dirty parts underlined - Or is that just how they lined up their letters?
BTW: the tablet below says..."pick up some milk and eggs on your way home!"
Either that or...."WATCH OUT FOR THAT TYRANNOSAURUS RE...!!" (the rest is broken off down there at the bottom...see??)
You may have already won "
That was perfectly good, reusable dried clay, until the idiot fired it. Did he think there was an inexhaustable supply of suitable clay, just for the digging?
Did he not realize that that such thoughtless waste, if all the scribes did the same, would cause the premature closing of the local landfill thus necessitating the hauling of trash (at increased expense) farther to a new location?
Obvious. 1. A man lying down on a pillow. 2. An oil well. 3. A tv antenna. It's about the increase in wealth in a country once they tap into their own natural resources!It says “MAGA”!!!! Vote Trump!!!!”
