Dr Julie Dunn and her archaeological team have found evidence of prehistoric porridge on a 10,000 piece of pottery. When I saw the piece of pottery, I recognised the pattern on the outside was crocheted. To make 100 percent sure the piece of pottery shown in the BBC News article link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38366109 is actually 10,000 years old, I have now emailed Dr Julie Dunn to ask for confirmation. I have provided her with a link to my video so she can see my evidence to prove the pattern is crocheted. I researched the blue pottery to find that the blue clay is formed near iron deposits. In Wadi Ashati in the Libyan Sahara desert, there is a huge iron deposit proving the clay was in fact found and made into pottery in Libya. This subsequently means that the people who made the clay pottery were crocheting too. Dr Julie Dunns report says the pottery proves our ancient ancestors were cooking with plants, and some of those plants are known to be toxic. As I have evidence our ancient ancestors were making herbal remedies at this time, this could add to the research and also prove the pot was used to make a type of medicine. I do hope Dr Julie Dunn will reply soon because I can then use the piece of pottery as evidence in showing how crochet, an ancient art, was lost, then rediscovered and how it travelled across the world to get to me in England.
