Can't cancel that.

They'll try though. Math and, soon, science, are racist.
History is absolutely racist.

6,000 year-old skeleton of a childDang. That's old. Antediluvian, I presume.
This is going to be interesting.

The Cave of Horror
Just based on the name, I suggest they begin filming of the new Indiana Jones movie there.

This seems like a version of finding a copy of Huckleberry Finn buried under Stonehinge. It will be interesting to see how the IAA sorts this out... Can baskets survive thousands of years? We're they originally purchased with Bitcoin?

Ah... an 8500+ year old family; probably the Smith's.

Thanks all.
...pieces of parchment feature lines of Greek text from the books of Zechariah and Nahum which have been radiocarbon dated to the 2nd century A.D... believed to belong to a set known as “The Cave of Horror,” named for the 40 human skeletons found during excavations in the 1960s. They bear a Greek rendition of the Twelve Minor Prophets. The finding also included a cache of millenia-old rare coins, a 6,000 year-old skeleton of a child - likely female, mummified in a piece of cloth - and a large basket dating back 10,500 years, which specialists believe could be the oldest in the world.

Cain’s little sister—she saw too much.
To: Monkey Face
My pleasure. It's amusing that the cave has been used by humans for over 10000 years, must be easy to find, yet it took 60 years to notice it had Dead Sea Scrolls. ;^)

All caves look the same, right? One man’s throne may be another’s treasure chest.

Or maybe Abel got gender reassignment surgery and took puberty blockers, but didn't tell his mom and dad. And that's the real reason Cain killed him.
To: RoosterRedux
Bottom line, just because somebody is your sibling doesn’t give you license to annoy them seven days a week and twice on Sunday. Kinship buys only so much immunity from prosecution.

“and a large basket dating back 10,500 years...”
Jericho takeaway, family size.
