I remember it was in the new books section of the school library and I was attracted to it immediately and spent the day reading it instead of paying attention in my classes. I need to read it again. Thanks for bringing it up!
I read that ages ago. Back in high school, in fact (I’m 46). I don’t remember it except the chapter where time is a flock of birds that you have to try to catch to stay youthful. The children can catch them but always let them go and the adults can never catch them.
Maybe so. I don’t think it’s evidence that anarchy is the best solution, just that neolithic societies without hierarchies were still able to achieve amazing things.
But it’s not like they were making cars and computers, this is a drainage system. It’s very impressive for stone age people, but they are still stone age people.
When I was 7, my family took a trip to Italy. We went to the Vatican. While we were there, we discovered a little side door that was open and went inside. Inside were a dozen gold carriages used to carry Popes before they got cars. At 7 years old, I asked my parents why they didn’t sell these and feed starving kids in Africa. Even a little kid can see the injustice.
They aren’t digging for now. It’s a geophysical survey. It will be difficult to access the temple because there’s a church on top of it and the main entrance is likely under the church’s altar.
Pff. You call that flying?
