Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of the Cajun Night Live.

I am your host, the Cajun Knight, Jacob Mook.

Before we started shooting, we actually had a good little time talking about some possible examples of what could be done as far as the Middle East is concerned. None of them good for the record. I don't think anybody actually presented a good idea, but it was fun for the shits and the gigs, you know? And for any of the people listening, if you would like to be a part of the before show, the after show, all of the things, then come check us out. Patreon.com slash Cajun Night. There's only one tier for entry.

Just trying to grow this to be its own information sharing and lighthearted and fun

conversation that we have every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. Central.

Without further ado, though, I am going to go ahead and share the screen and we are going to get

started with the conversation for the evening.

So I thought this was interesting.

This is from Science Daily.

We have written records that show that human existence on this planet has been going on since at least the 12,000 BC conversation.

Right.

And then I heard recently somebody said they found some, um, some

artifact that would say is actually closer to like 20,000, but the whole conversation about

when did humans develop a written language, a record of some type. And we can only work off

with the scant sources that we have. come to find out 40,000 year old

signs show that humans were recording information long before writing so this is a picture

the adorant figurine from i'm not going to pronounce that word because i don't think half of

those letters exist but it's a cave,

approximately 38,000 years old. It consists of a small ivory plate bearing anthropomorphic figures

and multiple sequences of notches and dots. The application of these marks suggest notational

system, most notably in the rows of dots on the back of the plate.

So this is from, I believe this would be Germany.
