I never know what to expect except that I expect to find out over and over again that the history of the world isn't what we were sure it was yesterday. "...details the discoveries by teams of researchers and the emerging multinational effort to piece together the array of new evidence into a unified understanding." The notion that there are valid, disparate and contradictory explanations of existence is flawed. I am convinced that going forward we will see more and more puzzle pieces finding their place in the whole. Anyway it would confirm my unification philosophy of nothingness. I read a book about thirty years ago called 'Black Elk Speaks'. Black Elk was a Souix Medicine man. I remember something about his realizations of the universe. He said something like: 'Those white scientists discovered the world is round unlike what we used to think. That makes sense because round is the natural state of things. A circle is round and it is the symbol of unity where all are one with no leaders or followers. That's why our council sits in a circle and why our homes are round, and why when a rock gets broken and erosion starts to bother it, the rock tries to become round again. etc.' Very_roughly_recollected. Then he goes on to mock white people for having square houses and attitudes about stuff. Best regards, gem
