A Roman doll with moveable joints and accessories was found in the sarcophagus of Crepereia Tryphaena, an unmarried 20-year-old woman. The sarcophagus is dated to the late 100s (2nd c. AD) making the ivory “Crepereia Doll” nearly two thousand years old.

ok so the first calendars were lunar calendars, 28 days, and a woman's menstrual cycles are 28 days. The implications of this are staggering, like isn't it conceivable that women were the first to recognize and implement time as a concept as a matter of survival just based on having to plan for one's period every month? and her observation that the moon's phases roughly correlates to her period could be one of the earliest breakthroughs of abstract thinking. what if she believed the moon controlled her cycle? First deity, first worship. Why would prehistoric men need to conceptualize time in the sophisticated way women clearly did? Men did not need to plan for periods, pregnancy, or raising children into adulthood. They had no reason not to scamper around the wilderness pissing on trees and ejaculating into the nearest holes they can find for the rest of time because they never had to plan long-term for monthly uncontrollable bleeding and keeping infants alive for years. Why would men look at the moon's phases and see anything other than the moon's phases? He cannot biologically realize how the moon is intrinsically connected to him, how he and time are intertwined, how one is all.

We are the timekeepers. This blood built society.
