Two Thousand Years Of Life Echoes In Modern Times
An essay contrasts ancient and modern life, noting little changes despite big tech advances. It cites Cunieform texts from Oxyrhynchus and Roman era letters showing farming and commerce echoed in today’s towns and villages, with mentions of Lucius Gemellus and ancient Egyptian donkey drivers. The piece humorously links early letters to present rural tasks and daily routine.
