Abstract
Artistic themes and other inventions have recurred repeatedly over the centuries; for instance, August Kekulé's ring-like depiction of benzene1 as a snake with its tail in its mouth in the 19th century appeared about 1500 years earlier in Mesopotamia, and was also reprised in the 17th century; many civilizations have re-invented (and destroyed) libraries for nearly 3000 years. These examples suggest a form of memory spanning millennia that could be named remembrance, defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “the period over which a memory of events extends”.
