text: Yo, check it out, in the realm of invention and innovation,
  We always focus on the firsts, that's the common situation.
  But let me bring to light the technological "lasts,"
  Abandonment and rejection, they tell us 'bout the past.
  
  See, we neglect the cases of technological discontinuance,
  In studies of early innovation, it's not given due importance.
  The lack of datasets makes identification a challenge,
  But I'm here to drop knowledge, let the truth balance.
  
  A geospatial analysis on gold objects from the Caucasus,
  A place where gold innovation was a major fuss.
  Around 1500 BC, a decline, a fall,
  In the same spots where gold mining stood tall.
  
  Now, let's test some causal models to understand,
  The reasons behind this rejection, the whole grand.
  Resources and demographics, nah, they ain't the key,
  It's social factors that caused the rejection spree.
  
  These results, they show our previous models were blind,
  Underestimated the variety of conditions we find.
  Technological rejection can happen in many ways,
  It's a reminder that progress ain't just a linear maze.
  
  So, let's embrace the lessons from the past,
  Technological rejection, it's a concept that'll last.
  Empirical support for innovation theories so bold,
  In this rap, I've dropped knowledge worth its weight in gold.
