Holy flint knapping! I saw 10,000 BC at the cinema the other day, and it turns out that while my archaeology lecturers at university were filling our impressionable minds with piffle about the prehistoric sexual division of labour and postructuralist nonsensica about Lacan and mirrors, they completely neglected to tell us that mammoth hunters used to do a bit of weaving on the side and that iron smelting was actually discovered 8,000 years earlier than thought!
An Ice Age hunter abandons the chase after remembering that he has left the iron on (or something).
Charlatans! I want my money back!
(From the university, I mean, not the cinema.)
