In 1999, it comes up that we don’t know how far in the future we are. This is as a consequence of the Orokin destroying all the old history. However, Loid mentions that there are still palaeolithic cave paintings. Could Loid and Albrecht or literally anyone else not just carbon date pigment samples or something?
I can forgive bugs. I don’t know if I can forgive this.
On the first point, actually, some cave paintings in Australia were actually (specifically) radiocarbon dated by sampling organic crystals left by growing microbes. A lot of Australian cave art was previously considered difficult to date due to the lack of organic pigments used in many regions by the First Australians.
Second point: say in the pre-Orokin time, a cave painting is dated at 40 kya ± 1000 years, and then in the Tenno’s time it’s dated at 50 kya ± 1500 years, I think I’m missing something for why that doesn’t give an interval of possible times between pre-Orokin and Tenno time.
