The Archaeological Timeline Of Rock-Paper-Scissors

The meme brilliantly chronicles the evolutionary timeline of rock-paper-scissors with actual archaeological precision! For thousands of years after scissors were invented (~3000 BCE), rocks maintained perfect dominance over scissors with no counter. Then paper shows up fashionably late in 179 CE, and suddenly our rock overlords get dethroned. The timeline perfectly captures that brief but glorious "rock advantage" period where rocks were basically invincible in the proto-game. Geologists must be fuming at this historical injustice - their precious specimens dominated for millennia only to be defeated by glorified tree pulp. The balance of power in this ancient game was literally 2,821 years in the making!
