5,000 year old valentines

[Madame Adequate]

Hey, some people think a seal looking bored is cute, I happen to think seeing likely evidence of loving bonds from 5,000 year old humans is uplifting.

Seals are cute full stop. An my Seals are certainly cuter than a couple of corpses.

If one presumes that it is a symbol of love, the idea that it could survive five thousand years and be unconvered by what is effectively a completely alien people, yet still resonate, is pretty damned powerful if you ask me.

It does rest on an essentially unprovable assumption, I concede, but I can't say I entirely blame people for making it. The world is dark and empty enough to justify the occasion piece of irrational hope.
