  That was on purpose. :-)

  I think that you are here mixing archaeology with paleontology. Reading 
from the dictionary:

archaeology:
1 : the scientific study of material remains (as fossil relics, artifacts, 
and monuments) of past human life and activities
2 : remains of the culture of a people : ANTIQUITIES

paleontology:
  a science dealing with the life of past geological periods as known from 
fossil remains.

  We are speaking of different time scales and I clearly don't want to 
insinuate that LyX has been here ever since the dinosaur's. ;-)

  I hope you know understand why the mosaics... :-)
