while I enjoy the spider meme I liked the last proposed idea that the culture treated it as the end of life for the house. perhaps it was tied to a certain number of generations having come and gone.
the question I have is, how much at risk did this put these people at, did it retard their ability to expand?
- Chris2048 10y agoI have my own theory - artificial scarcity. They needed to keep their builders, potters and glass makers in business.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoYeah, they were probably already aware that real estate bubbles are dangerous for the economy.

- shuntress 10y agoSo why not keep the house and just give what they would have payed directly to the builders, potters and glass makers? They would probably pay much less because the builders, potters and glass makers time would not be taken up building, potting and glassmaking. And they wouldn't have had to to destroy their house. Or, are you simply saying they just wanted a new house? Who else would they pay to make it for them?
