The oldest Hominin grave yet found dates back 240 000 years and consists of a carefully buried child, around three years of age. Our kind, The Homo Sapiens, is of course a much later branch on the Hominin tree, but according to science we are related down the evolutionary path.

We know almost nothing about the people or the society that so neatly buried this child, but we know that it happened. Someone deliberately buried a loved one. There are also other old grave findings from long before Homo Sapiens in which gifts, tools, or other supplies were buried along with the deceased.

Obviously, someone cared about a person, cared about an occasion, cared about the death of a kin. It most certainly implies an idea about an afterlife and a belief in a further purpose, or at least a further journey, beyond this life on earth.

Modern science does not agree of course. How could there be an afterlife? Well, I don´t know—it might be, and then again, it might not be.

One thing is for certain though; reality has no end. And in addition to that, the first law of thermodynamics tells us that energy cannot be either created nor destroyed, at least not in a closed compartments such as the measurable universe. Energy transforms within itself, but its total sum is the same. And we are made of that energy. Hmm, interesting.
