Then before you knew it, the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Greeks, Etruscans, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Vikings, Holy Romans, and Ottomans had all come and gone, and pretty soon (following countless tragic wars, a few really long boat trips, and a few pinnacles of Western civilization), the year 2000 rolled around, and you decided that it was high time that you went and saw it all for yourself.

...girl should have rested--"Still," her contribution to this soundtrack, is enough to make me you wish you had martyred yourself somewhere in between day two and three. Perhaps she could have done us all a favor and "uninvited" herself from the pop music scene for a couple of millennia or so.

...thought of watching a mammoth ? or a mammoth-cum-elephant ? rumbling over the plains. As for that possibility, scientists caution that the chance we?ll see one of these creatures in living, breathing form anytime soon remains remote. After all, there?s no certainty that after 23 millennia, the beast?s sperm will be potent, and in any case cloning is very rarely successful. The one sure bet is that Steven Spielberg has already reserved the movie rights...
