Good stuff! We are now in the Chalcolithic Age or the Copper Age. We have gone back about 7,000 years. Otzi the Iceman is wandering about and they are probably thinking about Stonehenge I.
Keep going Gents!
Actually, from a couple of recent posts, we are nearly at 9,000 years. So, good news colleagues. The Near East is witnessing the Epipalaeolithic which turns into the Neolithic Age, seeing the first agriculture across the Fertile Crescent.
However, Europe is still stuck in the Paleolithic Age. Do try to keep up Europe! What are now the islands of the United Kingdom are still physically attached to the European continent. The English Channel, North Sea or Brexit are not yet a thing.
The invention of pottery is reported from China and Mali, and lentils, millet and primitive wheats are all popping up. Bread and beer is almost here.
Cheery news is also coming in from the United States. The Clovis Culture is doing well, apparently.
