The past! There is nothing in our history that remotely resembles this! It must be very far back. It is. Nearly a million of your years. The inhabitants ... are they human? Such as I am? Slightly different but definitely human. Can we go down? We can indeed. That is our purpose. Will they be able to see us? Can we communicate with them? Yes, with no difficulty. They won’t resent our intrusion? On the contrary. They will welcome us. We drifted down toward the trees and then into an open area about the size of a football field. It was a park, or perhaps a huge flower garden, with neat, irregular beds of flowers and plants, none of which I recognized. Wide, grass-covered walks wound around among the beds in sweeping curves. I even thought I could feel the grass under my feet.
