The Oil Drum | Drumbeat: May 12, 2012: I like to think of time in terms of generations. The USA is 9.5 generations old. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon 82 generations ago. The great pyramids were the tallest buildings in the world for ~180 generations and we don't know how they built them. If we hadn't found the Rosetta stone we might not even be able to interpret their writings.
