Just had one of those sudden epiphanies that feels like it should be a bit monumental.
In an early episode of #Cosmos, #NielDegrasseTyson stood in front of one of an ancient Stone Tower, like #Jericho era stuff, and said something like, "our #ancestors used to stand on top of this to get a better view of the stars."
I just realized that, when he says "our ancestors", he probably literally means "you and I are descended from these people", because this thing was built so long ago that those bloodlines have likely been dispersed through most of the human race by now.
It's probable that literally everyone reading this message is descended from someone who stood atop that Tower at Jericho, or at least a similar Tower at that time, and looked up at the same stars we can still see in the night sky, wondering what they were or just marveling at the view.
*"Mind Blown."*
