I just held four objects
A 17th century Ganesha, devotees would look into its eyes to see God, so it was worn by many hands
An Egyptian eyeliner pot, from ancient Egypt. It was soft to the touch, and your finger fit in it to dab your eyes.
An ancient Sumerian cuneiform used to worship a god. They had the translation
A stone handaxe 350 000 years old. It fit your hand.
The arc of history is long and it bends towards unspeakable beauty. Incomprehensible achievement spanning so long.
