Mortar and Pestle

What can mortar and pestle represent in the year 3010?

This is one of the malay traditional "blender". It crushes herbs, chili, prawn paste ( belachan/ terasi) and many more ingredient for cooking. The ingredient that was crush will have a nice aroma and it will very finely crush and remain the taste of the herbs and spice.

In year 3010, archeologist find this thing underneath the ground. What could the next millenium generation may think of it?

1. It could be decoration in a house and everybody must have it.
2. One of the stonehenge stone that could stand on its own.
3. Accesories for the ladies such as hat and stick
4. As an ashtray crush with the pestle?!

decoration item? too fancy..

bits of the stonehenge wonders of the world? might be!

Gold ash tray?! hmm.. closely related. :)

Now we see that people in the year 3010 may have different thinking than us. They may not know the real purpose of mortar and pestle until they did their research. Well, year 3010 is a long way to go. Way to long that we are not around to see another millenium. However, grateful enough we are in the millenium of year 2000. Adding to that, archeologist now too still investigating on most artifacts they found in they year 1000 b.c and yet they could not have a clue on what is the stuff all about. They mostly guess and judge base on the drawing the found and the shape of the artifacts. Same applies to the next generation in the year 3010. Wish them Luck and all the best!

Can anybody explain what is the functions of these artifacts found by archeologist that was estimated created in the year 1000 b.c. Most of the archeologist have different perception and view towards this item and they might not know what is the purpose of this creation back then.

JUDGMENT RULE!
