inca discs in a yellow submarine
Oct. 25th, 2009 04:35 pmEr, why does my disc cradle suddenly insist on shooting out? I push it in, it shoots out. I push it in, it shoots out. Endlessly. And no prompt to tell me to put something into it!
Yesterday I saw a show about the Inca. As always, the narrator says "And suddenly there was the Inca, and they enforced their incredible engineering on the region, witness roads on sheer mountainsides, impressive stoneworks, ingenious irrigation". But surely that tradition of extreme engineering and radical planning & management skillz must have come from somewhere, not just sprung up overnight, that is a century? No one in these shows and simple popular texts ever dwell on the antecedents of the Inca engineering. Or maybe von Däniken got it right and they were really aliens?
Speaking of aliens, I don't seem to have any Beatles music at all. What albums should I go for? I prefer their earlier works, the harsher and wilder stuff.
