Default OT - Archeology

A class of budding young archeologists were being overseen by an
experienced teacher,

They'd been working for a few weeks, and had found a proising site,
with a lot of buildings. Including one they thought was some sort of
temple. On the wall they found drawings of a halo, a fish, an eye, a
donkey, and what was apparently a round vegetable of some sort.

The students were at odds on what these symbols meant. One thought
that the halo meant that they were very religious. One thought the fish
meant they most of their food from the sea. A third thought the eye
meant they had good sight. Another thought the donkey meant they were
herdsmen. And, the last thought the vegetable meant they were skilled
farmers.

Their arguing brought the teacher over, and they asked him what he
thought the pictures meant. He looked at them for a minute, then
started laughing. "It's quite obvious", he said, "It's picture writing,
not symbols, and what it says is, "Holy mackeral, look at the ass on
that tomato"".
