A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

2050 B.C.E.

Although it's true that I can be in more than one place at one time...time isn't going as slow as I want it to, and I don't always have time to write about my encounters...so sometimes I'll just post images.



This is the Nana Ziggurat, located in what you modern folk would now call Iraq. I call it ancient Sumeria.

Those Guys Must Be Really Tired

3000-1500 B.C.E.

The other day I walked into a field and noticed that it had a trenched circle in it, filled with animal bones. The next day, some men came over the hill, dragging some really big rocks. I asked them what they were making. They said, "Stonehenge." And then I realized what was going on.

I was so excited to ask them why they were making it, and the leader just grunted, "Keep track of time." Foolishly, I let them all see my watch, trying to explain that it was from the future. Before I could even get more than two words out, though, they'd snatched my watch right off my wrist and ran away.

Sorry for accidentally causing Stonehenge never to be finished...

I Was Starting To Wonder Whether I'd Missed The Party

10,000 BCE

Ok, so it wasn't like I hadn't known that the art action wasn't really going to pick up for a while, so I was just kind of lying around taking a lot of naps...but it had been a while and I was starting to get anxious. Where was everybody? Luckily, in my boredom, I stumbled into a cave...

And saw this:



I had stumbled upon some Cave Artists!

They weren't very talkative, so I couldn't get much out of them, but they seemed very caught up in ritual, which seemed to be very closely related to their art.
