Is it possible that modern ways of thinking developed far earlier than we think?
On June 7, 1851 a very interesting article appeared in the Scientific American.
The article described the discovery of an object that resembled a silver-zinc vase inlaid with fine silver in the form of the vine. It was embedded within 15 feet of solid sedimentary rock. The age of this vase, according to the rock in which it was found, is supposedly millions of years old.
This remarkable discovery, today known as the Dorchester pot shows ancient people were not just half-ape, half-man creatures sitting in a dark cave, dressed in furs, and lacking the facility of speech.
Were our ancestors more advanced than many modern scientists are willing to admit or is this a strange object that simply got embedded in rock by mistake?
The article in the Scientific American entitled “A relic of a by-gone age” read: ” A few days ago a powerful blast was made in the rock at Meeting House Hill in Dorchester, a few rods south of Rev. Mr. Hall’s meeting house. The blast threw out an immense mass of rock, some of the pieces weighing several tons and scattered small fragments in all directions.
