1. Speculation.

   1. Everything pre history is speculation and will always be thus.
      Oh, and everything on the historical record is subject to error, omission, motivation, and revision.
      Have a nice day.

      1. Thanks steve, but I was being…how you say…facetious.

         1. Yeah, I hear you, and I was being factitious or some dang thing.

2. Gaining traction, the Egyptians inherited the Giza pyramids from a previous civilization.

   1. Yup. They were built by North American Indians. Another clear-cut case of cruel displacement and cultural appropriation.

      1. But the indians learned how to build because of Greeks. Everything appropriated was appropriated from the Greeks, up to and including Windex.

3. 400,000 years of making fire, not just using fire, without any judgemental nannies or carbon tax. Soon we can’ t even cook with fire or have a fireplace. We’ve got a lot to make up for and a short time to do it!

   1. Good thing there were no libtards back then urging the banning of fire because somebody might get hurt.

4. “Here we present evidence of fire-making on a 400,000-year-old buried landsurface at Barnham (UK), where heated sediments and fire-cracked flint handaxes were found…”
   I was shocked at a UK location instead of Africa. Then I remembered that according to BBC and other reliable sources, the British Isles were originally inhabited by dark skinned people so there is no cultural appropriation after all..

   1. New and equally credible information from the site pertaining to prehistoric racism.
      Excavating this took longer than expected, but this one came to mind immediately.

5. And speaking of fire … which has been rediscovered here in CA …

   You’ve been living like a little girl,
   in the middle of your little world.
   And your mind, your tiny mind,
   you know you’ve really been so blind.
   Now’s your time, burn your mind,
   you’re falling far too far behind.

6. Mankind – lighting farts for 4000 centuries.

7. “The scientific establishment is thoroughly corrupt and even peer-reviewed papers can’t be trusted.”
   “Yeah, this archaeology paper makes some pretty outlandish claims that aren’t supported by its own findings.”
   “NOT LIKE THAT”
