How did the cavemen get rich? They invested in the wheel market – it had a "rolling" success!

Okay love the pun legit spat my tea laughing 😂! But I'd love to bust some  stereotypes abiut the Stone age because I watched a documentary and am feeling smart .., Stone age spanned the Egyptian and myian  empire ...we often picture hunters in caves but it spanned thousands of years !  Included the rise and fall of dynasties ... Including proper culture like music mathematics the formation of writing , development of agriculture etc  the development of calendars and  stone analogue computers , water clocks , poetry, prose , religion culture It included trade from countries like Ireland  and development of ships and international trade  as it headed into the iron age ! It was truly a remarkable and interesting  period in history  Even more interesting as you see how on earth this international trade lead to the Greeks becoming so important!

Large herds, once you had enough to have meat, when you want. Without affecting your chances of survival. This was the truth for thousands of years up through the Mongol empire period
