The Greeks had a name for it;
for that period when,
if our forebears existed,
they could have migrated on foot,
from Europe to America; to Africa;
to Australia and New Zealand.
No planes, no boats;
just feet;
or whatever sophisticated
wheeled vehicles
they may have had,
way back then,
200 million years ago.

Oh, I like this a lot. It's amazing to think that people walked from Africa to the tip of South America, coming to inhabit every corner of the earth. Thanks for entering.
