“Territorial and environmental pressures triggered by climate changes are most probably responsible for these frequent conflicts between what appears to be culturally distinct Nile Valley semi-sedentary hunter-fisher-gatherers groups,” the study said.”
I strongly recommend anyone believing things like this read the book “Motel of the Mysteries.”
Amazon uses this description: “It is the year 4022; all of the ancient country of USA has been buried under many feet of detritus from a catastrophe that occurred back in 1985. Imagine, then, the excitement that Howard Carson, an amateur archeologist at best, experienced when in crossing the perimeter of an abandoned excavation site he felt the ground give way beneath him and found himself at the bottom of a shaft, which, judging from the DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging from an archaic doorknob, was clearly the entrance to a still-sealed burial chamber. Carson’s incredible discoveries, including the remains of two bodies, one of then on a ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods and the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber, permitted him to piece together the whole fabric of that extraordinary civilization.”
The book describes how archeologists analyze the remnants of a motel. “The ceremonial bed facing an altar that appeared to be a means of communicating with the Gods” is a standard motel bed and the altar is the toilet. “the other lying in a porcelain sarcophagus in the Inner Chamber” is a person lying in the bathtub.
Very humorous reading that exposes how wrong archeologists can be.
“Motel of the Mysteries.”
I read that fifty years ago! And I agree as to how some common item can be misinterpreted.
