A beautiful video from youtube user UppruniTegundanna that I stumbled across today:
I particularly love the hands at 1:07 (although according to wiki the hands are actually younger than 9,300 years old and date from around 550 BC and 180 BC). It is videos like this that make me wonder about our own future. Will our graffiti delight distant generations of paleontologists? Will they reflect on our short 80 year lifespans? The power of science is amazing. It also makes me wonder, if a nuclear war breaks out and humanity is brought to its knees what books will constitute the new bible? Will these scattered peoples find tracts of the ancient book 'Harry Potter' dating from before the 'Fall'? Will they interpret religious meanings to the scientific texts of those days? One can only wonder and hope such a situation never occurs/
