this is when we invented astronomy in
fact we’re all descended from
astronomers our survival depended on
knowing how to read the stars in order
to predict the coming of the winter and
a migration of the wild Aries and then
around 10,000 years ago there began a
revolution in way we lived our ancestors
learn how to shape their environment
taming wild plants and animals
cultivating land and settling down this
changed everything for the first time in
our history we had more stuff than we
could carry we needed a way to keep
track of it at 14 seconds to midnight or
about six thousand years ago we invented
writing and it wasn’t long before we
started recording more than bushels of
grain writing allowed us to save our
thoughts and send them much further
space and time tiny markings on a clay
tablet became a means for us to vanquish
mortality it shook the world
