We used to see old things marked by the patina of time: the paintings yellowed buildings reduced to some butt, clothes and ingrommati frayed, faded colors.
What a surprise then to see the paintings in Egypt thousands of years ago, perfectly preserved by the climate. What bright colors! And how well you recognize the familiar scene, the table set, that food so similar to ours! And those sandals, as they are similar to those that we are right now. And the layout of the rooms, and a humorous skit, with the child who hides under the table, not just oddly familiar?
E 'which basically have evolved little in the last thousand years. Sure, technology, knowledge and institutions have changed completely. But houses, food, clothes are not so different (and even emotions, feelings and fears.) Many hiking trails are still the locations of the Stone Age hunters, and a simpler, more secure and easier to walk from one place to another is simply to follow them (have been tested for thousands of years). And in the caves in Liguria were found the remains of meals of the Palaeolithic: olives, cheese, a soup of millet and mixed vegetables (such as the mes'ciua): eat something today, that is.
As a child I remember it was said that the millennium would like the astronauts ate a pill instead of steak. The millennium has come and past, and instead continue to eat much like thousands of years ago. (And even to love, hate, hope.)
(television, ipod and entertainment do not constitute a counterpart fund of books, concerts, and landscapes? Something to let go, to pass the time, imagine? And vice versa when the connection is slow or does not take the phone, which is the difference with a real cabin with a coin telephone, or in a letter that never comes? What matters is who's there with whom we speak)
