Music is definitely cooler than wearing pants.
Isnt this just because pants dont leave a lot of traces after tens of thousands of years, while a bone flute is much more likely to do so?
This is kind of how I feel about the idea of the very first writing being chiseled in stone or engraved on clay tablets. If there was a much older civilization that never did that but invented paper and pencils instead, we’d probably never know it.
Writing on the ground is probably No. 1 then maybe carving with a stone into wood/bark as No. 2 but yeah, lots of stuff we will never see or know about because they werent preserved.
Or because it’s not immediately recognizable as writing. I wonder how long it would have taken archeologists to figure out the quipu was actually a knot-based writing system without the Spanish mentioning their use by the Incas in their records of the invasion.
The quipu is very cool, never heard of it before. Thanks for sharing :)
That and that people used to wear other sorts of garments that weren’t such a pain to make.
Wearing pants will not get you laid, having a sick flute will…
Pants are a barbarian invention anyway!
Here’s another hot take with the same data:
Pants may disintegrate, but flutes last forever!Robes were easier to make and were a one size fits all
I see it as the golden age where you can play a flute pantsless
you can still do that
Not in my town. There’s only a few things you’re allowed to play in the nude where I live; saxophone, xylophone, sousaphone, basically only if it ends in phone.
Just say it’s a flutaphone.
MFs will say humanity never had a golden age 😒
Robes.
