Heh, I guess when it's on a platter

You just gotta serve it up. (Continuing from the previous post)

Prehistoric man may have executed rivals from neighbouring tribes to steal their women

Ahhh, women. Worth stealing since (at least) 7000 B.C.!

And in an amazing twist, a link off the side of that story takes us back to this little diddy from 2007 - Site used by man 5,000 years ago. What's the amazing twist? Well, howabout this...

Steve Speak, senior keeper of field archaeology for Tyne and Wear Museums, said: "Trying to make sense of all the various dates from the same site is a bit of a puzzle - it seems the spot was reoccupied almost continuously throughout the prehistoric period. "What isn't clear is what it was actually used for, it's not well enough preserved for us to say that it was a farmstead, a defensive site, a settlement or something more spiritual in nature.

Didn't I just write this...?
"Anyhoo - the point being, this shit's pretty neat...being almost entirely left to your imagination. Not one authority on the subject can't be brought low by a new discovery, but really new paradigm-shifting discoveries from the pre-historic age practically don't ever happen. So fjuck the experts, they know as much as you!"

Being so resoundingly backed-up a mere day later by the internets makes me feel as though I really hit upon a solid truth here. So much so that if you desire, I'll be happy to give you a (really crappy looking) CERTIFICATE OF EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD OF PRE-HISTORIC ARCHEOLOGY - FROM THE FJORDIAN (err...thinking quickly on the fly here) COUNCIL OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY! (yes, that will do nicely.)

Any takers?
