Observations

Hand-axes, our first achievement
While microliths marked the meso age
Pottery, coiled and burnished, served neo farmers
But copper and tin alloyed ushered in our worst epoch

    1. You know, I spend as much time hunting the appropriate photo as I do writing the post. A picture paints a thousand words… handy, when you’ve only got 27 to play with!

      5. Still on, so to speak. We fly home this afternoon, returning late (or early.. 1 am-ish)

  3. What about the bronze age do you think made it the worst? (I know almost nothing about the bronze age, so I will agree with whatever you say!)

    1. The Brtonze Age saw the development of metal weapons. Moreover, mass-produced metal weapons. Fast forward… need I say more?
      Stone weapons could not be mass-produced.
      It’s a very simplistic view, I do admit.

  4. With every new technology come the benefits and the drawbacks. Text messages are great time-savers, but my hubby got a text today claiming his Netflix payment didn’t go through. If he’d just click here (and enter his bank info probably) they’d be sure it was processed properly. As you may guess, we’ve never had a Netflix account. I got the same message yesterday.
