The Ascent of Man by Jonski Boredofskifrom primeval times man has exploited the environment
from hunter gatherers
to the early use of tools
the use of fire to make metals
language to communicate
they learnt how to change the very environment they lived in
on Dartmoor they used tremendous knowledge and skills to split granite rocks
using their strength and endurance
now we follow in their footsteps
building on all their skills and knowledge
to reach a far higher plane than they could have imagined
so far
so very far
now we have combined the old technology and the new
to reach higher levels of consciousness and an understanding of the cosmos
an example of the heights of this knowledge is pictured here
who but a truly fully developed form of life would have thought
to make new use of old technology
so that trekking poles could be parked
whilst having a chat
makes you wonder what happens next ...
