minus-squareLogicalDrivellinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·4 days agoId love to see a recreation of the dog. Its hard to get a sense of scale but the head looks quite big. Also: Along with the dog, a small number of microchips were found which can be interpreted as grave gifts. Microchips? Is that like chips of flint napping or were the ancient alien dudes on to something?
