The ancient Egyptians also made little toy like figurines or carvings of boats and these have been found in various tombs throughout the years.

<<< We're going to start a new ancient civilization >>>
How about coin and card collecting before the advent of PCGS and PSA?
That seems like ancient times.

No sir, you're talking about a time when dinosaurs were still a threat!

I lost track of this thread but love it. For you guys that want to see a scary but cool movie Check out “As Above So Below”It’s still available on Netflix so Mrs. Dueces and I sat down and watched it last night. Something looked familiar to me and I realized I had seen it when it first came out. Good movie. Different and I like that. Side note the male lead was also in Cloverfield although only for a brief period.

The next civilization up is Easter Island, a very isolated island in the Pacific, 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile. It was once home to a civilization, that erected huge statues weighing many tons. There is a great mystery as to how these statues were moved and erected. The statues are called "Moai" and there are over 800 of them on the island. The island is so isolated that it is a mystery how the inhabitants navigated their way to the island in the first place in about 400 A.D. Here is the location of the island on a map and on a globe.

The statues on Easter Island are huge, each one weighing many tons. Some of them are half buried and some are fully upright. Here is a map showing where some of the statues are located on the island, they are scattered all over the island.

Be careful Steve, the statues could be cursed, and they know you're bad mouthing them. They will seek vengeance on you by making the Eagles lose to dem' boys, and the pigeons will be getting ready for you to feed them!

Most of those statues look like they haven't missed a meal. A good pouch on many of them.
My guess is the fishing was certainly abundant in that area along with other seafood, and they invented some tasty sauces to go along with it. 🐟
