In the car on her day off Marja has a sudden rush of panic: did she turn off the gas? And did she leave the water running? And lock the window? In her mind her imaginary mistakes grow to absurd proportions.
The birth of the universe, and the origin of all creation -
Humans invented tools, discovered fire and painted murals in dark caves.
Murals were created on a mission to pass down stories and history to posterity.
From murals, we could tell that the discovery of fire was a highly important turning point for ancient humans.
Now it's time for us,humans,to reconsider energy.
When I have a look back in history and imagine the life style of ancient humans, I always feel grateful for what we have now in our modern civilization.
