It's wild to think about how short human history is. For example, the iron age started approximately 1200BC, which means that if you are 32 years old you have been alive for 1% of the time humans have used iron. If you are 54 years old then you have lived through 1% of horses being domesticated, the wheel being used for transport, written language and living in towns. 🤯

All the myths of the great flood, including Noah, trace back to the end of the last ice age 11,000 years ago. Most of our early coastal history is probably yet to be discovered by future technology, as it’s underwater. We are bias to high-ground.
