Technology advances until it reaches a point where it destroys the civilization that created it. It would really be something if we vanished in a single night and day - like the Krell did. The truth is that in the end, nobody can stop the advancement of technology.
And the truth is, as Plato reminds us, that this has all happened before
in Atlantis and Lemuria for example.
Oh, don't forget Gobeklitepi...
http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-...klitepe-003441
€śThe scene on the obelisk unearthed in Göbeklitepe could be construed as
the first pictograph because it depicts an event thematically€ť explained
Director of the Şanlıurfa Museum, Müslüm Ercan, to the Hurriyet Daily
News . Ercan is leading the excavation at Göbeklitepe. €śIt depicts a
human head in the wing of a vulture and a headless human body under the
stela.
http://www.todayifoundout.com/index....-gobekli-tepe/
First, unlike its arid landscape today, 11,000 years ago, the Sanliurfa
region was a €śparadise€ť that teemed with game, fruit, nut trees and wild
grains, all readily available to collect without the need for farming.
Second, archaeologists, who have been digging at the site for nearly 20
years, have yet to find any evidence of the hearths, cooking, houses and
garbage dumps found in the typical Neolithic settlement. Third, rather,
they found 100,000 bits of the bones of wild game animals like boar,
gazelle, sheep and deer, as well as a variety of bird species; as one
expert said: €śIt was pretty clear we were dealing with a hunter-gatherer
site.€ť
Building on this evidence, the new theory turns the Neolithic revolution
on its head: rather than monument building as a consequence of
agriculture and settlement, it became the impetus for it. Proponents
theorize that the enormous number of people required to build the
complex, and who chose to remain near after it was completed, required
more food than could reliably be collected with hunting and gathering.
As one expert opined, €śI think they began cultivating wild grasses on
the hills€ť in order to feed the masses. Recent findings from other
disciplines seem to back this theory up.
....
In the final analysis, proponents of the new theory conclude the
interesting notion that, based on the evidence at hand at the Gobekli
Tepe dig, €śreligion motivated people to take up farming.€ť

I had better read up on how to cook this stuff because mostly, I was left with some weird ass paste. I mixed it up so I could load it up into a tortilla. It's a tasty product - but weird.

There are 2 kinds of chorizo, soft and hard.
Both have their merits.
Soft works real well with scrambled eggs and papas.
What you have there was begging for eggs and small cubed taters.
The texture is indeed weird and I was baffled the first time I cooked
some up.
But it was so hot even the dog gave me a gimlet eyed look.
