The Thinker of Cernavoda is a neolithic carving from the Hamangia culture (present day Romania) and perhaps the best evidence that shit has always happened.
Its pyramidal head and eye divots are at least as evoking as its anatomically-correct modern counterparts. We can instantly empathize with the artist despite the 7,000-year gap.
Think about it. That's older than writing. Older than the pyramids. Older than Genesis. It's human truth.
I write about this kind of stuff, and other things like sorcerer-chefs, lesbian superheroes and the origins and fates of everything.
