Anyway, I've about 2 thoughts bubbling around in my head and am finally putting them down in text. I would've written it earlier but anytime I feel like writing on my blog, I forget everything interesting that I think about. So, here they are. (Insert thunderous applause)
- What would happen if our modern civilization was wiped out? And the only remnant for archeologists to find was your journal? Chances are, you don't have wonderful penmanship. Or many reflections on society today. Or culture. Or much of anything besides what seemed important at the time. Think about it. Archeologists might think that our civilization used a crude scrawl for written language and society was boring and blank except for vague relationships between whoever is mentioned in our book. It would be horrible if someone thought it was a religious text or something. This also begs the question- what if the writer of the Rosetta Stone had horrible handwriting? What if the hieroglyphics where just bored workers doodling on the walls? Who knows how we could have misinterpreted the past?
