When we achieved this goal, what we felt was not so much victory or triumph as it was gratitude: gratitude for the world's recognition of our conviction, and for the understanding that the Faya site carries a story, and that the voices of those who lived here hundreds of thousands of years ago deserve to be heard as part of our shared human history."
