If we could see time as river, beginning to end, we'd see that now is a little droplet in a vast body. So much has gone before, kingdoms have risen, flourished and fallen. Countless peoples have trod this place we call earth. Not gone--the influence is everywhere. But largely forgotten. We're content with trivial, never thinking of what went before. For example, I'll be most of us didn't know the oldest book in the world was Gilgamesh. It's not a history lesson. It is history.
