 Of all the things man has made over the millennia 90% of it does not exist anymore. So when you see something from 25,000 years ago it is quite special to have survived for so long. What you don't understand is that it is a voice from the distant past. That piece was imbued with a voice that speaks directly to you, by the hands that made it 25,000 years ago everything that is made by men has a voice that speaks to you if you only listen.

			Not a product of man, but north of San Francisco, there's a petrified forest of 2000 year old redwoods that were knocked down by a volcanic blast 250 million years ago...

 Anyways, its no big deal having something really old. We have some dinosaur bits, fossils, meteorites, and for sculptures.... large pieces of polished petrified wood. Enjoy your adventures!

			So I did a search and here she is:  35mm tall, 25 mm wide, from basalt local to the area, and formed using flint (tool???)  Pretty amazing.

			Something I'm curious about is what they refer to as her "voluptuousness"  Seems to me there probably weren't too many women or others for that matter, who would be able to enjoy that luxury a quarter of a million years ago.  I'd imagine about 100% were faced with just getting enough food to stay alive.  Maybe civilization was more advanced then than we think.

			Looks like something I made when I was a mere Lad playing with my shyte. I was so proud of myself that I said, "LooK Ma what I did." Why she got so mad at me that she smaked me so hard on the side of the haid that I saw stars for a week. I guess she didn't appreciate my creative talent?
