At least that would likely have been what the neolithic people believed as this grave was prepared for an important person. It seems like humans in their quest to be remembered spend vast resources to manifest their magnificence for posterity. All in vain; who knows anything about the chief buried here?

Have often thought the same thing! Loved the photo.
Thank you. Another thought on fame: it seems to me that the people that are remembered through history are those that wrought havoc and destruction to epic proportions rather than those that build civilizations, the farmers, architects, poets, artisans and so on.
