I love the idea that cultures have been interacting and trading for millennia.

Not just goods but ideas and narratives have passed through the lives of millions of peoples.

I am sure our Bronze Age forebears would be horrified at what we have done to the legacy they gave us.

Very cool. I have a necklace of "mummy" beads that my sister got me some 20 years ago. (Lots easier to get then). The certificate said these are around 3000-4000. Kinda surreal to hold something that old in your hands.

Amazing, all the things they’re finding!

Amazing find showing the extensive trade networks in the past
