It's science fact if you care to do the research.

I've seen a lot of the things that archaeolgists have dug up, the antikythera mechanism is pretty advanced, for instance. But that would be the exception!  Where is any advanced that we had anything like high tech back then?

In the word "advanced", we could assume that they may have used what they had better then we do.


Reusable, clay pots for example. They contained food and drink.
We use packaging like plastic and cardboard which are then thrown away and build up in land-fills.

Which was more practical and enviromentally friendly?

They also had the Bagdad Battery, the Minoans had flush toilets, the Romans had aquaducts.  Plus, a lot of stuff probably rotted away cause it was made of wood.

Other advances like the architecture using monoliths. How did they do?
They used the natural world around them and it's natural energies.
Everything we do involves creating everything artificially.
Which is better?

That's a very complicated question.  Industrialization is ruining the natursl world tyhrough global warming.  However, the ancient had global warming, too.  Anytime you burn something for warmt, it creates CO2 and heats up the atmosphere.

Our way is much better.  We have air conditioning for summer, heat for winter and medicine for when we get sick.  Do you know what the ancient people did when they didn't have those things yet needed them anyway?  They died, that's what they did.

Our society has actually CREATED a lot of our health problems.  A study of ancient mummies found that cancer didn't start appearing in people for the most part, until the 1800s.  That is another effect of industrialization!

Again, the term Advanced can be many things....
 Even spiritually, the ancient people who invented their realities of then, probably were alot less stressed out.

What can we see is wrong with today?

People may well have been more in tune with nature back in ancient times.

We do have the capacity to make this world greater than it ever was if greed weren't always getting in the way.

I agree completely Eco....

Thank you for that.
However, we are talking billions of people now who are all programmed to live the ways we are...

Back in ancient times, the populations wasn't as bottle-knecked as it is today.
A corrupt system like today's would have been easier to overcome.
