Who says 10,000 years, really? Men who deify blue elephants? Machines? ooooh, not impressed.
The whole world in the hands of the deceiver is but a trick.
God appears to have instructed us to mark time and note history from 6000 years past only.
We should consider how the brain works. Given something that it's never encountered before, it then constructs an image that it can refer to and deal with. And that image might have absolutely no resemblance to the actual nature or appearance of a thing.
The brain will also construct images to accompany and possibly identify sounds. But, that doesn't mean it's the least bit accurate.
IOW, who knows, really.
To me, they're just 'mental constructs'. Maybe even stories-legends they made up back then to explain normal phenomena they couldn't comprehend. That's certainly common to mankind throughout history.
What a hoot if they'd also been munching some 'herb' that day! heehee.
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
A Miracle is when God makes His Reality our Experience
