Document d'origine

 

4800 BC

 

a tiny baby boy

lowered into a grave

next to his young mother

 

the little blue body

laid not on the ground

but in a swan's wing

 

messengers of the gods

such birds, adept at moving

between worlds

After the Ice -A Global Human Histhory,
20,000-5000 BC, Londres, Weidenfeld
