"...no archaeologists, just antiquarian explorers and adventurers. Likewise, there are museums, no sense of heritage protection, no deep-time stories, no sense of a coherent shared past beyond vague fables. This is a Galaxy shrouded in amnesia...this is a Galaxy without a sense of its own past."

🏺📽️ With the follow-up to '28 Years Later' now in theatres, I wrote about the Bone Temple and how it fits as part of a longstanding tradition of funerary practices from later prehistoric Britain.

Visiting my son Porter in Alabama, this morning we drove to Mobile, and stopped nearby to see Bamahenge, which Wikipedia describes as "a full-scale fiberglass replica of England's prehistoric Stonehenge monument, located on the grounds of Barber Marina near Josephine, Alabama."
