My name is Guadalaptue and I will be talking about my everyday life here in my village of Nesorara. I have a beautiful wife named Keara and two children by the names of Nevaeh and Molly. Since girls are frowned upon to work, I am the workingman of the family. I hunt animals such as wild boar, deer and bear and pick berries. My family has to set up camp wherever food is most available at the time, so we move around depending on the weather.
Today, the men that I work with and I have our work set out for us. It is December 31st, 20,000 BCE. Our men have found a terrific place to set up a temple. We don’t know exactly what the location is but we are pretty sure we are in the middle of
Turkey. Our goal is to make this site a place to sacrifice humans and animals.
We will set up camp around this site and if any other tribe comes near ours, we will take their leader and sacrifice him so the tribe will be afraid to come back. Sacrificing is not always a bad thing, though. We have also decided to build this site to sacrifice animals. Our tribe feels that animals are very important to our lives because they provide us with food and energy so we can live. Once we have put up the walls of the site, we will then carve animals that are most important to us on the stone.
Since I am very strong, my job is to bring the stone to the hill where it will be assembled into part of the building. It is a
very difficult and stressful job spending up to 16 hours a day working.
After many years of building it, it was finally completed. The building was a masterpiece and we were all very proud. The stone pillars are 16 feet high, about the length of 3 of our fully-grown men vertically stacked on top of each other. The stone pillars each weigh about 10 elephants combined. We made them “T” shaped so they could support the roof. Even though my job was not carving the stone, I know that the carvers made tools out of some kind of mineral
