    Vaguely remember that fire can be made by rubbing two sticks together.

    Try to make fire.

    Fail.

    Get kicked out of tribe for wasting time with sticks instead of helping with the hunt.

    Born back then so no idea of the future probably? Fire was invented like a million years before or around that, so I’m probably cooking food. I like cooking the food. Dying during childbirth??

      Probably also my fate. Cooking the food, dying during childbirth. Would be blissfully unaware of what a stock market is. Upsides, downsides.

    Develop whatever language exists, find methods of timekeeping and recording history. I vaguely remember something about the first humans getting eaten a lot so maybe my priorities are in the wrong place

    Main question is do I have modern knowledge or not?

    If yes - then apply everything I know from primitive technology and education. Will try to reach some level of progress, probably will be able to get to steam machines and telegraph in one lifetime.

    If no - then will be just strolling with everyone and enjoying nature as usual.

        Having access to the raw materials is the hard part, depending on where you are. If the place your or any other tribes migrates around lacks the raw rocks, you’re shit outta luck.

        Copper and tin are relatively easy to work, as you can melt the metal into an earthen or sand mold. A furnace that can melt it isn’t too hard to create. From that to a steam engine isn’t that big of a jump, the Greeks figured that out but never thought about making it do labor.

        Another hurdle is surviving long enough, as you wouldn’t have access to sanitation or medicine.

          Dude saying just melting some ore is enought and then you basicly have a steam engine is so wild. Do you have any experience in metal working? How would you create the round parts like the piston and the bore? What about valves? The greek steam enigne woold have not created significant power for anything usefull. I would bet that most of you in this thread would not be able to build a steam engine from metal if you had acess to a home depot.

      Ok just out of curiosity, how do you plan to generate power for your telegraphing? Also how do you plan to get the information out of the circuit on the other end?

    2. Drink milk
    3. Sleep

                  Saddle can be found in Barns and the like. You’re just not looking in the right chests. Of course you’re not going to find one if you’re looking in a dungeon chest!
