  1. ​ @WK-47  about "House of God" not being literal anymore, it has to do with faith: Bronze Age polytheism generally considered gods to be INSIDE the idols, physically. It's a major important factor in understanding why Babylon removing people's idols was so devastating. There lies the main difference with Abrahamic monotheism: it's not only the faith in one God (hence capital G) vs many gods (as a species), but also the belief that God is everywhere, while gods were believed to exist inside stone or wooden idols. One of main roasts of pagans in the Bible goes about how a polytheist went to cut a wood, cooked food on part of it, and made another part of the same piece into what someone considers a god. Even the Jewish Holier of Holies was an empty room, which disappointed Roman temple robbers. They assumed everyone's gods are physical statues or carvings, not heavenly beings.

  3. ​ @martinvanburen4578  you can barter with zero language skills: show item, point to item, change until both confirm... But I bet people figured out each other's language pretty fast if there was regular trade they spoke enough.

  4. There's also engraving, especially harder metals like titanium are generally sturdier than most rocks. Also someone posting an embarrassing picture of you on Facebook, nobody lives that down!
