I use to look outside my window and wonder why about a lot of things.  Then I started studying math, particularly non-linear differential equations.  I no longer wonder why about a lot of things.  Not saying I know, just saying I no longer wonder why.

You need look no further than the early writings that have been deciphered from places like Crete where the Minoans were.

They had (among others) the script Linear B that was deciphered by Michael Ventris in the 1950s - and guess what? It was all about who owned what and who owed what.
