That was a distant era in human history. It was a time of chaos, as the order between humans and the natural world, as well as among humans themselves, was gradually being established. It was the childhood of humanity, during which human wisdom, a scientific mind, and artistic creativity grew alongside humanity. Human society was taking its first shaky steps toward an unknown great goal. It was an era of nascent chaos, yet also one that was gradually being forgotten by humans themselves. Here, we seem to be reconstructing this distant memory, searching for the starting point of human footprints. Not only can we understand how humanity has reached today, but perhaps we can also understand how it will reach tomorrow.
