Did the ancients know more than we do?

Where is my pyramid buddy? cladking, where are you?

Jeesh.

I gotta start checking in EVERY day here or these threads get away from me.

It's a great thead and I could spend hours commenting just on the first page.

I've finally got evidence for water to build pyramids that more people will consider solid evidence. I'll post it here after I write it up. It will be later this evening I think.

Just to save time catching up here it seems very apparent to me that not only did the ancients know more than we but they were somewhat smarter as well. They had to do everything without chemical plants and steel mills. Most people today who know much of anything are specialists and can't see the forest for the trees. Even specialists have a tendency to greatly overrate their knowledge and intelligence. People simply mistake consciousness for intelligence. If people today were plunked down into a primeval forest most of us wouldn't live long enough to even learn how to swing from trees or find a cave to live in.
Great thread.

Later...
