"The first 200 000 years or so of being highly sentient human beings are lost in history. We only know the last circa 2000-4000 years from texts.
The first recorded joke - a fart joke that is 4000 years old - uses the term "since time immemorial" (or the sumerian version). Even though one should not take that literally, it suggests that you could travel back in time to find people consider their civilization ancient already.
And it was. When that joke was written down in cuneiform, the pyramid of Djoser had already been standing for 700 years. And when **that** pyramid was built, the city of Catal Höyuk was 3000-5000 years old!
And still, that was built during *the latest 2.5% of human history*.
We have lost so goddam much that it hurts to think of it."

Perhaps coincidentally. But it's true, the caption doesn't match the photo. It's simply a mistake.
you were never a part of we and are personaly wrong on this
Those victims don't have a lot of influence in Hollywood, so even thought there have been many mass genocides in human history, all we ever hear about is the holocaust.
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......
