You can walk right up to a lot of Moai on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), but you still aren't allowed to touch them. It's pretty cool and worth making the side trip if anyone is ever in the area (daily flights from Santiago, Chile, and I think weekly from Tahiti, and don't stay at the German bnb, locals hate them.)
Is our current theory around Stonehenge stretching the principle of charity considering what we found Aztec's sacrificing while having a far superior culture. Is it actually reasonable to make the assumption people were dead when cremated?
Such a huge festival for which people travelled thousands of kilometers to witness. Does not sound compelling when bodies weren't stored to make it a big pile.
The building took thousands of years, so crossing a considerable number of generations. Could it be the demand was such that no participation in the labour effort was basically your dead sentence?
Or is Jesus officially attributed for the invention of the FOMO?

Just to be clear.
My best memory was seeing the engravings made by soldiers following victory at a Civi War battle from the mid-17th century.
