Maggie's Farm

This was always very nice and strange in a way that gave you a warm tingly feeling deep down.

However, the newest caves just found are the paintings of horses and those are VERY different. The artwork is more refined, but more importantly they are painted by someone who walked into the herds on a daily basis. A very, very early Horse Whisperer! This is special for many reasons, the most important is the question of why and how did we loose this skill of handling horses? For several thousands years we were trying to "force" horses--the people who painted these pictures understood better. We did not regain this knowledge until the 1800's and it was not fully understood, or acknowledged until just about 20 years ago. But the cave painters understood it--many thousands of years ago. It takes only a moment for a technique, or skill to drop out of our culture. For example the ability to start fire with a flint was common knowledge, everyone understood charcoaling, etc. That skill was gone within 20 years after the match was invented.
