english: What's important though is that writing only emerged about 5,000 years ago. So what that means is that all the people before there was any writing, every word that they ever said, every utterance disappeared. No trace. Evanescent. Gone.
non_english: Belangrijk is echter dat het schrift pas 5000 jaar geleden verscheen. Dat betekent dus dat alles wat er daarvoor gezegd is elk woord, elke uiting, verdwenen is. Vervlogen. Geen spoor meer van.
