Aeon

Old man looking back in time He remembers it well when the Mediterranean was rich grassland had many lakes and the people living there never starved. A mountain ridge between Spain and Africa kept the Atlantic Ocean away, but a seer had been on top of the ridge and seen the mighty ocean, and felt the strain of the mountain and took to warning people to move upland; only a few listened and moved to Cadiz. Earthquake, big fissure in the mountain keeping the ocean at bay; it took forty days and forty nights, only a few people with their chattel escaped. The new ocean was now called: “Between Land Sea.” and people took up sailing, trading and warring, later tourists came who had no interest in the passing of time, and that is ok, I understand that most goats ended up in Spain and the donkeys in Tripoli.
