Stargate?

I pass this house frequently, and I can't help feeling that if you walked up the path you might end up on another planet.

(Skeptics may say it's a frame for climbing plants, but it's been there for a long time, and never had any plants on it.)

A long lasting paper trail

I'm a great believer in putting things in writing. It means that, if there's any disagreement in the future, you can look back.

Obviously this ancient Babylonian thought so too:

“I am not getting water for my sesame field. The sesame will die. Don’t tell me later, ‘You did not write to me.’ The sesame is visibly dying. Ibbi-Ilabrat saw it. That sesame will die, and I have warned you.”
~from a letter by a guy called Sin-gamil 

Since the Babylonians wrote on clay tablets, his letter has survived for over 3000 years.

I wonder if he got the water for his field.
