Stone tools uncover 140,000-year-old human history in the Mongolian Gobi
Researchers investigated a prehistoric lake in the Gobi Desert that held tools, revealing how humans responded to a changing climate.

Verse 1
 Wind in the Gobi, the silence is wide
 Stone in my hand, I feel the tide
 Once was a lake where the rivers ran
 Now only echoes and shifting sand
Chorus
 Stone tells a story, age by age
 Hands of the past still mark the stage
 Dust remembers, wind replies
 We were here beneath these skies
Verse 2
 Fire and water, ice and rain
 People returned and came again
 Followed the herds, the stars for light
 Dreamed of the dawn through endless night
Chorus
 Stone tells a story, age by age
 Hands of the past still mark the stage
 Dust remembers, wind replies
 We were here beneath these skies
Verse 3
 Lakes are gone, but tools remain
 Carved by heart, not made for gain
 Time moves on, but truth stays near
 Their voice in stone—we still can hear
Final Chorus (repeat/fade)
 Stone tells a story, age by age
 Hands of the past still mark the stage
 Dust remembers, wind replies
 We were here beneath these skies
