  2. i, for one regular joeschmoe, fan of history, uneducated in formal anthropological technical analysis, am very glad to hear that anthros and archeos are, more and more, admitting the “non-binary” between nomadical and or agricultural societies. Because from my own joeschmoe perspective, seems like, even if there were to be something approximating a binary concept of it, it’s like, there still has to a transitionary era somewhere in it, right? Or, also, are humans not adaptable? Are we not omnivores even in our modern days? Again from my regular uneducated dude perspective, it’s seems to me it’s like, yah, people groups went back and forth and amongst it as various food resources got used up or new ones were discovered, and were able to be like, ohhhhhhhh time to go back to eating this, or, oopsie it’s all gone, time to go back to eating that.😅 So yah that’s my regular dude interpretation of stuff like that. And I even make a non-relateable comparison to my own self. Like, ohhhh yes I much prefer steak, bbq, and some buttered asparagus as my vegetable. But yo, steak is expensive!! Oopsie, gotta go back to eggs and bacon for breakfast and rice and beans steamed up real delicious for dinner.😁

  3. 750,000 tons of salt that’s 1,500,000 imperial pounds of salt!!! that’s a lot of kilograms!😂

  4. the geologist-archaeologist could, in theory, take soil core samples drilled down several feet and test them for layers of soil with a high salt content, could they not? Or, maybe they have done this before?

  5. the timeline shows that wheat was domesticated and then four thousand years later they figured out how to invent bread? 😂😂 lol! that is hilarious. I do not believe that for a second. Look I ain’t no scientist nor archaeologist nor whatever…. But “they” really think it took “them” over four thousand years to figure out a loaf of bread? That is hilarious to me. No, again of course not a scientist and without evidence, I would and do quite believe that wheat agriculture and bread were relatively close to together. Just because no hard, empirical archaeological evidence exists of bread from 7000bc hasn’t been found doesn’t mean that they did not have or did not know how to make it.
