The ownership of land is an odd thing when you come to think of it. How deep, after all, can it go? If a person owns a piece of land, does he own it all the way down, in ever narrowing dimensions, till it meets all other pieces at the center of the earth? Or does ownership consist only of a thin crust under which the friendly worms have never heard of trespassing?
The trees owned the lands until the humans took it from them.

Dude’s lived how ever many hundred years and never even heard of mineral rights, smh.
Well, at least in my country, only what’s above the ground.
Nah, more like rented their place until they could give back to the earth with the ultimate sacrifice.
