    The Bronze Age burial site is nerdy, to bury the dead in the first place and to study it a thousand years later is nerdy, that is to say the product of a complex mind. Perhaps over-complex but that is beyond the scope of this post, enough to say its all a bit nerdy.

        It is nerdy in the sense it is the product of complex thought, same as fiction, same as prehistoric burial sites which came about because someone dreamt the sun god said that appeases him and honours the dead. It is all the same box of tricks.

      If you think the two are remotely equivalent in historical significance, then you can suck the farts directly out of my arsehole
