Re: Rocks?

Beats me how disrespect is warranted in either case. No, the ancient people weren't anybody special so what they did can be measured against the ability of little old ordinary us, and marvelled at. Had they been supermen it would be merely interesting, but they weren't. I've worked on a farm. Shifting hay bales for an afternoon is nackering. But huge rocks? They must have been impelled by burning passions that we comfortable suburban bookworms never glimpse for our whole lives. They might have been merely exploiting and amending their environment, just like we do, but the actual backbreaking process was the work of heroes.
