Archaeologists Find World's Oldest Bread and New Evidence of Sophisticated Cooking Dating Back 14,000 Years - Independen...

It seems odd that an advance in "sophisticated cooking" is associated with food production exacting more energy than it creates, but that's just what may have happened in pre-Neolithic northeast Jordan. David Keys proposes the reason for the "artisan bread" described in the article as "ceremonial" or "religious" purposes, a standard fallback which makes sense in this fascinating article. But let's go back thousands of years before even this, as Archaeologists Find Pre-Clovis Projectile Points in Texas that "date to be 16,000-20,000 years old." Texas State University researchers have found "distinctly different" projectile points underlying Clovis deposits. The find, in the words of Dr. Thomas Williams, "provides a fantastic opportunity to study the earliest human occupants in the Americas," forcing us to call that a truly ground-breaking achievement. When people find "undecipherable characters" that seem more than purely decorative, they tend to label the stuff "hieroglyphic writing"--referring largely to the fancier ancient Egyptian writing style that's often (badly) portrayed in Hollywood mummy movies. Jason Colavito gives examples from UFO history and wonders Why Do We Envision Space Alien Writing as Egyptian-Style "Hieroglyphics"? He suggests the influence of occultists, but the ufological examples may just be part of the wider fashion and tradition borne of 19th-and early 20th century "Egyptomania," rather than anything particularly special to aliens.
