In the series 'Nothing Changes', this decorated Greek hairnet from more than 2200 years ago.
Our tools change; luckily health care and our eye for humanism changed during the last few centuries, but everything else stayed the same.
Politics, relationships, business, crime, fashion, theatre (the Iliad), what brings us happiness (community & sharing food and stories) and a longing for comfort and beauty, it all didn't change.

Musical Interlude: Back in the 90s, I happened upon a CD of cabaret songs from Weimar Berlin. I loved it, found it witty and fun, but also slightly alarming at how little things had changed. And now, thirty years later, still things haven't changed much. Here's a song as relevant today as it was a century ago.
"It's All A Swindle," performed by Ute Lemper.

Cursum perficio
Verbum sat sapienti
Quo plus habent, eo plus cupiunt

A word to the wise
The more they have, the more they desire
Behind the clouds, the god of the sun is eternal) -

Kurt Vonnegut Jr. being sadly accurate in 1965's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater":
"When the United States of America, which was meant to be a Utopia for all, was less than a century old, Noah Rosewater and a few men like him demonstrated the folly of the Founding Fathers in one respect: those sadly recent ancestors had not made it the law of the Utopia that the wealth of each citizen should be limited."

The revision tree graphs, from 1985, look like git intros today. (Except that this paper has an air of troff standard format look to it.)
