My friend Peter is the only person I know in the corporate
world besides myself who is interested in archeology, especially the living
part of archeology, i.e. the digs. We had a discussion at the dig he works in
today. Folks around us are amazed why one would be interested in digging up
dirt alongside whatever comes in it, pieces of pottery, seeds, and all that is
good for carbon reading. We are amazed to their disinterest. How can humans be
so interested in today or tomorrow when they have no perspective on the past?
