Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy and you write a note saying, 'I love this toy!' Now imagine that note is found hundreds of years later. That's like what happens when we find ancient writings, they help us know what people thought long ago.
How It Works
People in the past wrote things on paper or carved them into stone, like messages left for future friends. When we find those messages today, we can read them and imagine how people felt back then.
Examples
- A child wrote on a stone: 'I miss my family.'
