again, since the libs took over colleges, i see it corrupting a lot of science. like the “noble savage” stuff they spout. how they lived as one with nature, and couldn’t possibly have caused extinctions of large animals, all over the world, shortly after humans appeared.
...libs also put their own motives in things, especiallly religious. (and you know how they hate all symbols of violence, like... an ANVIL !!! that was the prehistoric gun !!!

“Another item found in his tomb, a small anvil, suggests that the man had something to do with metallurgy. It is possible that he was a blacksmith himself. But, either way, it is clear that he controlled others through the use of force. “

...so again, the child may have been sacrificed. but i’d like to see actual evidence, instead of a lib archaeologist’s opinion, especially after that “anvil” nonsense.

One of the most educating books I ever read was "Motel of the Mysteries". I made sure all my kids read it, and recommend it often.

Basically, its a picture book satire by David Mackaulay of future archeologists opening a site where a motel was, and the ridiculous assumptions they make of each item, such as the "Sacred Altar" which people would lie before for hours...

You know the “noble savage” stuff began before Jefferson penned the Declaration. Check out Rousseau.
