Kinda a thought that pops into my head from time to time about if people that lived well before writing wanted to leave an eternal legacy and at best we see their remains dressed in ornaments.
It’s interesting to think that someone that lived 50k years ago paved a path for me in the sense that they probably exploded lands weren’t known to their tribe or human at the, found new edible plants, or maybe created a new tool.
Crazy to think that there’s billions of humans that I contributed to the life I have know and their names have long since been lost to time and that what I do today can still affect someone well into the future
I just like to imagine there was a real person called Unga Bunga though. It seems statistically likely. Or some guy named, like, Andrew or something, but with absolutely no linguistic ties to any of the modern name’s roots, like it arose independently more than once.
Lol like Andrew meant star puncher in ancient language that no tale or legend can recall.
It used to mean “land exploder” in the before-times.
If the name “Naomi” can occur independently in Hebrew and Japanese, it’s probably been popping up regularly since the beginning of language.
Naomi is the crab of names
Considering we’ve been around for about 300,000 years, it’s within the realm of possibility.
