I find this stuff fascinating. 

 

I feel like there is much about our past that we don't understand...

 

How much do we really know and understand about ancient cultures?  Egypt is the most widely known and even with Ancient Egypt there is much we don't truly know

Dude, in my honest opinion, we probably are about 10% accurate with ancient cultures.  A lot of history is a mystery, we are giving our best guesses and even the written history is from the perspective of the author.  We see today how everything is slanted, it's hard not to think it wasn't the same back then.

Not to mention, an eye witness will outright exaggerate a story to where it's basically a lie.

I agree with this.  yhis is very well said

 

Plus we keep finding out more and more. 

 

The pyramids, we grew up believing were burial chambers but I. Reality they were not. 

 

Now, we are finding evidence that human history may go back much further than we realize. How and what happened is such a mystery. 

 

We don't know what we don't know. We know a lot less than we think we know

If you ever visit Ireland they have a place called Newgrange that is over 5000 years old and was lost for about 1000 years at one point. Several people have spoken as if they know what it was but the honest answer is no one has the slightest clue, we have no line from them to know at all.

Realistically the only truth is that humans.. ancient humans from 5 10 15,000 years ago were more advanced than given credit for 

 

That does not mean they were on some super technological level like today like Graham Hancock would have you believe 

 

But we certainly are capable of more than giving credit for but there's zero doubt in my mind that we are also at the Apex of what the human civilization has ever reached 

 

I do not believe in Atlantis or that there was a super sophisticated Lost Civilization that was on our same scope

As certain new technologies make things easier, humans will lose natural cognitive ability.  That intuition...

The accomplishments of early humans are truly awe inspiring because the things they created or learned to do had never been done by anyone ever before.  Every step had to be created out of nothing.  Early humans learned to make tools not just use whatever tools they had at hand which numerous other animals could do.  They also learned to make fire and use it for lighting the darkness and then cooking food.  They developed complex languages based on ideas, not just the simple calls/grunts/whistles that other animals used as alarm or locating calls.  They developed visual and musical art.  They domesticated wolves and then herd animals like sheep, goats, cattle and eventually horses.  They learned how to grow food.   That's all before they became "civilized" enough to develop cities, astronomy, calendars, writing, religion, etc.

The Vikings likely used celestial science to cross the Atlantic to Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland about 400 years before other Europeans learned to use the magnetic compass and astrolabe to navigate the oceans.   Like the ancient Polynesians, the Viking culture was strongly associated with seafaring.

Well said 

[ExiledInIllinois]

Yeah... But early humans built on early tools... Just like later our space computers where flipped all manually.

 

There has always been a "slow march to automation" from day one.

That always intrigued me. For instance, something as simple as bread. Who thought eons ago, let me take this plant, grind it into dust, combine it with other things, heat it up, and then see if it's good to eat.

It had to be a hungry and courageous person to eat the first oyster.
