Hi Banazir
If you are interested, I can try to say a little more about my apparent pre-historic memories. They may not be against the rules, but due to how unverifiable they are, perhaps other members might think I have an amazing imagination.
Those memories have no date or time by modern reckoning, and from what little those flashes of memory show me, the only local timekeeping was by the sun and moon and how many years any currently living person had seen, and maybe a count of generations up to grandparents or so.
But I can figure it was a long time ago, because they show me a place that science says was swallowed up by the ocean 10 thousand years ago when the ice ages ended.
That place of the past life, as far as memories ever showed, was in the south pacific on a long stretch of land east of australia, which was connected to the mainland so that you really could walk to east asia.
I never said anything, I thought it was impossible because there is no such land there now. But then I learned about how the sea leavels rose when the ice ages ended, and saw the map of the continental shelf which showed how there would have been land there, a long time ago. So maybe there's a chance those flashes of memory might be from a real past life.
The people of those memories were technologically primitive. There was no use of metals. Other than occassional rickity-looking rafts tied down near shore, there was no boating or sea-faring.
They were more or less hunter-gatherers, except they didn't need to move-on very often because there was enough food to support the low population density.
As for clothing, the people only wore as much as the climate required, which was some but not much. Despite being where the tropics are now, it wasn't that hot, but not cold either, which might be another point in favor of the ice ages. The clothing itself was mostly de-furred animal skins, not really leather as we know it. Some small items of corsely woven cloth were present, but not so common.
They weren't so much for construction work, no great monoliths. Naturally occuring rock formations were finished off and taken advantage of, though.
Despite the lack of technology, they weren't barbarians. They knew how to speak (no grunts and "ugg"'s) and had a verbal language which I keep hearing in my dreams. For a few, there was even the beginnings of writing, symbols scratched into small clay tiles which could be rearranged to say things. They also had a social code, it wasn't just a chaos of people hitting each other over the head with clubs. Indeed, they needed as many people as possible alive and well-behaved, there was enough danger from the local wildlife to not go killing each other. Oddly, in those memory flashes all the animals seem larger than life, and many of the plants looked strange and exotic.
They also has infrequent contact with the Asian mainland, and an inter-regional economy of trading women with distant tribes to keep injecting fresh genes into each other's family trees. None of the tribal leaders wanted the results of too much inbreeding. And that had much to do with my own particular place in that past life.
I can sort of remember growing up to a teenager and then being considered healthy enough and pleasing enough to be traded off to another tribe of people far to the north, whom I would bear children for, in a place (now underwater) somewhere between china and the southern tip of Japan. I, and at least two others, were being "voluntarily" escorted on our journey. But there were no horses, or beasts of burden, it was walking all the way. And I don't think I made it there alive, the last thing I remember was dark stone cliffs and it being very cold before we even got there.
