Great post. Too often we take writing and literacy for granted. Don't quote me, but I believe someone in ancient Norway, or thereabouts, said that writing was borderline magic, as it allowed the dead to communicate with the living.
Personal favorite anecdote are the many funny "posts" found on the walls of Pompeii. Google then up; they're hilarious. People don't change.

Quite right! Everything that makes us human — humor, flaws, silliness — has always been there! Thanks so much for reading.
