In actuality, this is fascinating! A spreadsheet from a time when dates were referenced by the conclusions of major events. Wonder if someone got back paid for their ancestors’ work developing excel though 😉

    I honestly think that some systems of organization are hard-wired into us, and therefore inevitable. The table or spreadsheet is a perfect example of this.

      More than likely it’s because once you start to need to keep track of many things and what their calculations are you need a way to organize them. This is the outcome. Pretty cool.

      Pivot tables are what separate us from the ape.
