Peter T. Daniels Quotes

Prehistory Isn't Like A 'veil' Or A 'curtain' That 'lifts' To Reveal The Pre-set 'stage' Of History. Rather, Prehistory Is An Absence Of Something: An Absence Of Writing. So A Better Image Of The 'dawn Of History' Might Be An AM Radio In The Pre-dawn Hours: You Recognize Wisps Of Words Or Music Across The Dial, Inter Blending, And Noise Obscures Even The Few Clear-channel Stations. The First Ones We Find, When We Switch On The Radio Of History About 3200B.C.E., Come From Mesopotamia, And Those From Egypt Soon Emerge. Eventually The Neighbouring Lands Produce Records, With The Effect That The Ancient Near East Is Probably The Best Documented Civilization Before The Invention Of Printing." (Daniels And Bright, Page 19)
