To the World leaders

And here I lay the World to rest
The dusk of human's day
Don't tell me you have tried your best
There's nothing you can say
You should have nurtured, should have cared
Instead you looked away
And still you think you will be spared
Now everyone will pay

When the Stonehenge car park was built in 1966, archaeologists found three post-pits where pine posts 2-3 feet in diameter once stood, hinting at a much older age for the ritual site. They date to 8,000 BC. Oak hadn’t yet recolonised post-glacial UK.

The Carrington event, 1859, was a minor solar outburst which fried telegraph lines across the northern hemisphere and created stunning auroral displays in the sky. This type of geomagnetic storm today could paralyze society.

Dr Robert Schoch believes that at Gobekli Tepe, the site was, in fact, intentionally buried, and that many of the pillars were hastily re-erected and reinforced following damage to the site during the coronal mass ejections that ended the last ice age. youtube.com/watch?v=2yuniM…

Is this how the North American megafauna were overkilled at the end of the last ice age?

The Ciede Fields, Ireland, are the oldest known enclosed fields in the world, dating to 5,500 years ago: 2,500 years before this type of field was seen in Europe widely. Megalithic tombs are also present, hemmed in by the wild Atlantic to the west.

Boncuklu Tarla, Turkey, 13,000 BP, occupied for 4,000 years. They left behind lip rings, earrings & over 100,000 beads, of which scorpions were the most common form. When we have beads, we have society, because social identity is constructed through the things we choose to wear.

The invention of the hole. Before about 40,000 years ago there are very few objects which take advantage of the hole. An incredible device, when you think about, which allows all kinds of progress to come from negative space. youtube.com/watch?v=hj6cte…

The most common animal adornments in the Upper Paleolithic are fox, deer & bear, none of which were part of the diet. Human teeth are the 5th most common. They are sometimes extracted while the flesh is still in place. Is this some kind of talisman or something far more gruesome?
