Countless?

At first I thought why couldn’t it just be decoration but as the article pointed out these people were not just sitting around on the internet, “For me they had to have represented something. It’s not like now where people are wasting time on nothing. There was no Facebook, they weren’t in front of the computer all day. These were busy people doing agriculture. It has to say something to the people there.”

But not knowing much about basalt it is a rock, right? So did they have to hollow out these vessels and shape them out of rock? If so that’s incredible in it’s own right.

I apologize in advance...

Basalt, probably a washing ‘machine.”. Wouldn’t put wine in there.

Yes, I read the whole article. My bad.

I’m not an archeologist, but I did stay at a Holiday inn one time.

I must confess, my masters thesis was the French revolution and Marie Antoinette’s Chasity belt.

Maybe they should just come to grips with the notion that is merely decoration rather than a code.

Maybe expansion joints. Or they limit cracking for easy repair.
