The place is called Powell's Bookstore and it's located in Portland. Books are the best teachers and humans love to refer to themselves as open books.
The best movies and documentaries are first born as scripts which are a type of books. The invention of writing gave birth to recorded history and the very first writing were drawings.
It seems logical to think that inventions of letters have its roots in those drawings. Letters are symbols representing sounds, just like drawings are representing ideas.
My most recent post touched on these ideas in more details. Here aresome more intriguing facts on this topic of research.
"The Paleolithic caves of France are famous for their prehistoric rock art. Along with the animal and human imagery, 26 symbols have appeared repeatedly. These symbols appear in other parts of the world as well, leading to the possibility that symbolic communication through geometric signs arose with early humans. The diagram below shows regions around the world where the these 26 symbols have been found. You can click on each geographic sign for more information." (source)
For The Past 8 Years (Written 2 Years Ago)
"I’ve been reading (using text-to-speech) through more than 95,000 pages of text or the equivalent of 74 bibles. (Disclaimer I’m not a Christian.) This is a rough estimate but it’s in the thousands of hours of listening. At some point I was reading /listening through more than 300 web articles a week."
"I’ve also listened to more than 4000 hours of informative video, audiobooks and standup comedy. For the last couple of years I’ve been trying to reunite all of this in the most useful and revolutionary data bank/educational tool ever created."
"This data bank contain more than 74,000 bookmarks and 2000 hours of video and audiobooks. The very best are rated in different categories. I’m pretty sure it will change the face of education if I ever get to publish it."
"This is one of the reasons I have been absent from posting on Steem in the last weeks. Hopefully, my Steem projects and education project will meet in the future. I’m working on it. In the meantime everything I’ve read and listened too will be of great help for the Steemit community." (source)
I write and read to teach and inspire.
