This is an ancient piece for war planning in terms of laying out where offensive strikes should be placed. Strategically speaking, it is a very primitive model outlined in a grid format, however, its purpose is to only provide a very, very general overview of attack planning. The circular pieces represent enemy bases in congruence with how close they are to our bases. The board is to be viewed horizontally, where the top left square is closest to our base in that area. The bottom right is furthest away. The more upright pieces represent potential enemy bases based off of our aerial coverage systems. The markings on the model have no meaning particularly to a particular offensive strike, yet, they can be used to categorize terrain, how many enemy troops are inside, and other general knowledge. We use our own systems of understanding coordinates and this board/is best suited to represent this. Without this foundational piece, we would not be able to colonize many galaxies. We would be extinct. This, while primitive, a piece of our history has led to expansive and vast war strategies that have kept out civilization from perishing.
Ignoring the man in the back this piece of hieroglyphics is the one most important piece of human civilization. The passing down, updating, and teaching of language through text is one of the most significant ways of the preservation of language and cultures. Without it, we would not be able to understand the past to predict the present, nor would we be able to pass down immersive, expansive, and valuable knowledge from our own ancestors and the ones from other cultures. We have many barriers stopping humans from connecting and without this piece, the language would not exist, and we would, therefore, have one more barrier. Though basic and consisting of mostly images, this is the foundation for the structure of literature (in “reading format”)and writing itself.
