I read a lot of encyclopedias and pop history books when I was in elementary school. My reading skills must have been a bit off because I took references to "Stone Age Tribes" in these books the literal truth and that the Stone Age was out there somewhere today.
I also misunderstood stories about human sacrifices and the eruption of Vesuvius and thought that somehow there was a way to revisit these events every day.
