  1. The first primitive attempts at marking time, in the form of Lunar calendars, date back to the Cro-Magnon times in Europe, to an estimated 25,000 BCE (BP)...


  2. That someone had bopped them on the head with a caveman`s cudgel.

  3. There must be more to life than this.

  4. Long term calendars, maps, dieties or spirits, light or fire...

  5. As we don't have night eyes, early man's sense of danger must have been heightened a hundred fold at nightfall and the moon and stars instinctively understood to be linked to survival.  I imagine adrenalin was pumping through early man's veins more often and pleasure hormones released more frequently at night, and that at peaceful moments, looking into the night sky was a source of immeasurable beauty and wonderment, as well as pondered on intently for its boundaries, patterns, and movements.

  6. OOOOOOO  AHHHHHHHH wogga wooga

  7. Have you ever felt like you are being watched???

  8. They saw a map of the universe and knew more about it all than we do :D

  9. What was that growling noise...

  10. I think they would have just been awed by it. I'm sure a lot people today are too, but I think they had more time to appreciate it, and make up stories and myths about what they were then we do.

  11. "the same as we do today , no doubt , "

  12. They thought they were something that was in Earth's atmosphere.

  13. that the floor of the Gods' living room had holes in it, and their light was shining through

  14. Im sure they saw something and realized they couldnt begin to understand what they were seeing. i think they knew there was more to everything around them, yet they didnt know what it was. hence the birth of religon, and mans attempts to rationalize what everything is around him... ie sun god, etc.

  15. i hate sh*tting in the woods.
