Ruphus -> RE: Teaching in my workshop (Feb. 10 2016 9:05:50)

I can stand before vitrines looking at originals until the cows come home. Grown up with the image of ape-like cavemen and of analytical skills of barely 2500 years agenda, artifacts teach us very different from that. Flint tools whichs special design in accordance to the individual task couldn´t be improved until today. 200 000 years old speers that rival todays computer calculated specimens for olympic games. ... 5000 years old bricks in Harappa that have the same dimensions like todays, as no other sizing turned out any better ... Seems to me, just like you have to wonder about todays bovinity despite all info and data available, just as much vice versa you got to wonder about actual advance of ancient wisdom. This human species is a truly strange one if you ask me. Ruphus
