Luke 19:40

Luke 19:40 (KJV) "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

With our means of transmitting knowledge between one millennium to the next becoming more and more tenuous - maybe we need to listen to what the rocks have to say.

Or the coral reefs.

Even without written or oral histories - we always have the rocks, corals or trees to ask for what they may have recorded.
