How is that possible when Boehner wasn’t even around then?
Can anyone else hear George Carlin doing a skit .. “ .. that’s some old shit, man”
pure bulls4!t.
The fact is that there is "nothing new under the Sun"..people are people.
There have always been scientists, thinkers, geeks, inventors, agronomists, farmers...etc.
The only difference is TIME...modern people have had more time to advance. 6000 years from now, the advancements up to 2013 will appear grossly primitive, but they will be stepping stones to 8013 technology.
So...do not be "surprised" at anything ancient that is found, its just the genius of man on display.
The deeper one digs, the more brilliant stuff will be found.

So true.
This story is full of horse, er, hockey.
FARM GARDENING WITH HINTS ON CHEAP MANURING

It all began when Grog noticed Turok pilfering vegetables from his garden at night.
He figured, “I’ll put cow dump on my vegetables and that’ll show him! He won’t eat them!”
Then Grog noticed the improved performance of his crops.
Should be doing some composting of human manure. Certainly an over-abundance of it. Compost it well for two years and can apply it to soil to grow crops for food—less time if for non-edibles. Just dont use it as disgusting raw ‘night soil’ as done in some Asian countries. Let the soil over time break it completely down and then use as composted fertilizer.
How ironic that manure is still being used today. It serves as the foundation for our political structure - Obama's administration is built on mounds of manure as is the structure of the GOP-e.
There you go - quoting the Bible. Only bitter clingers actually believe that stuff, yannow.
Dung power.
O’s bro uses it. Or used to. Probably uses sterno or propane now.
I couldn't agree with you more. Stop and think. These so-called 'stone age' people developed farming, domesticated animals. Figured out how to make leather, rope, weave cloth. The, famously invented the wheel, tamed fire and build some amazing structures. Not only did they figure a way to expand food production through agriculture, they also invented dozens of ways to preserve the excess food produced. They dried fruits, smoked meat, pickled, canned in pottery, made cheese, made wine and beer... I mean, they had NOTHING previous to go by, and came up with things that would be hard for us to do today using the simple tools they had developed. I know that it took thousands of years to achieve this progress, but it still is amazing.
Interesting. Academics didn’t recognize pastoralists might have noticed that their animals’ excreta helped build soil for growing things?
Sounds like the “experts” need to read the literature.
Odysses’ dog Argo was sleeping on the manure pile when he returned home. My teacher explained that the soil was so thin that manure was considered important, so folks put the droppings of the sheep etc. near the king’s house.
That might be a description of dark age Greece,(800 BC,early Iron age) rather than the time Troy fell (late Bronze age, 1100BC).
As for eating beans/pulses that’s what Esau asked for when he was hungry: Pottage is a mixture of beans and grain.
