10,000 Years in the Desert

The other night I watched a TV program on a graveyard in the Sahara desert that is 10,000 years old. One of the graves held the bones of a ten-year-old girl and her bracelet.  This was not a tribe that had many bracelets. Think about that and 10,000 years melts away. Let another 10,000 years pass, and no one will remember us. They won't remember Shakespeare. But a family with a dead child will grieve as we do today.
