    Ancient herders dug deep into the sands to gouge out burial pits, where they lay their dead with care. The archaeological find at Lake Turkana in Kenya upends notions of when sophisticated burial rituals began.https://nyti.ms/2Bs9lfU

        “This truly was a place that accommodated all ages and life stages....It wasn’t reserved for a chosen few or people of special high status. Everybody was accommodated there.” We advanced civilizations have a lot to learn from nomadic herders who lived 5,300 years ago.

        The burial assets of precious stones and climate exposure wake up to the temporal factor of the desire to determine the temporal ages of living life and their impact on climate
