10,000 BC

So I went and saw 10,000 bc last night. not going to give the story line here but as most people now the movie was not based on fact but was told more like a legend or something like this. But it had me thinking about it. I had to research some of the things in the movie like Mammoth. Like I am sure many people did not know that the Mammoth lived up to 2000 BC. Not very long ago. Even though they were mostly gone by 4000bc or so there was a small heard on some island in Alaska most likely some place where humans could not hunt them.

But this all had me thinking. Ok I came home after the movie turned on my lights, popped some laundry real fast then poped in some dishes turned the heat up a tony bit all with in 5 minutes. In 10,000 bc i would have had to light a fire , wash clothes by the river for an hour and doing dish would not be as easy as putting a dishwasher. We have so much time on our hands because of machines and advanced tools. I mean this is just one little set of tasks there are many others things we also enjoy. Back in 10,000 bc things that take me 5 minutes now i would spend all week doing if you add in food. Just stuff to make you think.

Mammoth found in the Yuribei River in Russia where it had been buried for 37,000 years
