Yesterday, I saw the oldest piece of art in the world, in the Israel Museum. A female figurine, created almost a quarter of a million years ago. OK, I gotta admit, that's old.

Other stuff dating to Christ's time, doesn't really impress me. Hell, I'm over a half century old. I have stuff in boxes over a century old. I have motorcycles nearly a half century old. If it just sits there in my garage, I don't see why it can't last a couple thousand years.

I also saw the dead sea scrolls. Call me jaded, but I don't really see the big deal.

Now, when something is a quarter million years old... that gets my attention. Its amazing that there is so little stuff on earth that has survived a lousy couple thousand years. Everything destroyed in the name of religion. Don't wanna PARF this up, but really makes you think about things...
