Screw Vintage, Try Ancient

In case you haven't noticed, there's a big thing about "vintage" stuff. People want vintage guitar amps or vintage clothing or vintage jewelry or vintage records.

Whatever. Screw vintage! Try ANCIENT!

Here we are innocently selling these beautiful, handcrafted sculptures and we see this.

I'm pretty sure that you can see the resemblance.

Turns out these things are literally ancient:

Nicholas J. Conard, an archaeologist at the University of Tübingen, in Germany, who found the small carving in a cave last year, said it was at least 35,000 years old, “one of the oldest known examples of figurative art” in the world. It is about 5,000 years older than some other so-called Venus artifacts made by early populations of Homo sapiens in Europe.

Can you believe that? Some caveman sculpted what amounts to pornography at the time, we dig it up 35,000 years later and we hail it as art. Amazing what some time spent underground can do.

Imagine your sex toys being uncovered thousands of years later and being hailed as artifacts!

Anyway, if you're totally over that whole "vintage" trend, you can click here and get on the ancient trend!
