Fascinating. Are there any cultures which might display a discrepancy in this model? I know that Ancient Rome had brain surgery (Though the name of the gent who performed it first in Rome escapes me). Didn't the Egyptians have dentists and such?

of course, we'd be talking about much earlier than those civilizations if we're to hold to the 'Ancient India' Theory of things.

Many people proposing such theories are of the opinion that ancient stories of wondrous things and powerful beings might be a relation of actual events happening that were written down with the limited manner of conceptualization possessed by ancient man.

Ancient skull cutting in PDF

T rephining in the ancient world HTML

Tephining was known at that time as were some other basic surgerical abilities - some of the patients actually survived.

The people did some beautiful work with obsidian and other materials.

Until the arrival of "civilization" life was hard but tolerable. Modern hunter-gathers show us that they could live in ease-depending on the seasons (Polynesians probably having the easiest most "eden" like existence) but still would tend to die early from the effects of living off the land and recurrent fevers and infections. Early farmers probably had it harder as stone age farmers discovered in the 18-20th century showed. There hard work allowed elites and specialists to arrive on the scene.

Due to the effects of evolution on skull size women have suffered from birth, a large number of women being lost in child birth. As too were young children.

Ancient people were just like us in many areas, they had dreams and nightmares and they had "believers" too. They could get drunk or use drugs and these people gave us a number of these visions. Modern people still report dreams of flying, etc.

I remember his name (Now that I have had some sleep), his name was Gaelin and was very famous during Roman Times.

And he didn't just conduct Treppaning, he also conducted brain surgery. He designed a lot of his own utensils as well. The scalpel we use today is based off of a design of his, I do believe.

In any case, what about my question concerning discrepant anomalies in archaeology? There's certainly a lot of books like "Forbidden History" and such, some of which are complete bunk... but I can't expect that all of the OOP artifacts are frauds.

And so do some surprisingly primitive people. Trepanning has been done for over 12,000 years. Dentistry in some form or another (even just to knocking out the tooth) has existed for a long time.

And you can't really talk about "discrepancies." Cultures borrow from each other, learn from each other, and what they develop depends on their philosophy and their available materials and the networks of trade. We see ideas spring into being, but they are derived from existing technologies. No culture goes from goatskin waterbags to plastic bottles unless they're in contact with some culture that makes plastics or they are taught to make plastics (and they will do it only if it makes sense within the context of their culture and lifestyle.)

Many people proposing such theories are of the opinion that ancient stories of wondrous things and powerful beings might be a relation of actual events happening that were written down with the limited manner of conceptualization possessed by ancient man.


Sadly, most of them promoting the theories don't have any idea of what ancient people COULD do or how their technology derives from other associated materials and technology. So they believe that the ancient Romans were just "given" the secret of cement by some alien instead of understanding how it was developed from more simple forms and how it developed out of need as the city of Rome grew larger and there was a need for sturdier buildings (multistory buildings)

There are also medical/drug recipes found in ancient Egyptian texts, and we even have some from Sumeria and Babylon and China. There's a lot of these technologies around... but they're not celebrated and talked about except in rather stuffy papers.
