Thanks for the stars and flags, but would prefer some feedback in this interesting find.

Well, the advancement that allows Aqueducts (Masonry, I think... :wow is always one of the first things I go for in Civilization

Anyway, this is a pretty amazing find. I don't buy into the ancient astronaut stuff, or the Atlantis stuff, but I do think that ancient people were a whole lot more sophisticated than we tend to think they were. Did you know that Mayan farming practices were (and, where the descendants of the people still exist and are permitted to farm land the way they want, still are) far more efficient than "Western" practices?

Very cool, i was reading an article about their water system and how they said that they PROBABLY had fountains but i guess this almost proves it.

Weren't the Masons founded on the secrets of masonary that they got from ancient texts, someone will correct me if I am wrong.

In my opinion, the point EVERYONE is missing is that we - humans - seem to be getting more and more 'technological' and that gives us the impression we are getting smarter... the fact is, we are getting dumber and dumber.

We get so much on our hands, we don`t focus on anything...

Now, when you only have basic resources*, time and the MIND: Guess what is going to play a major part?

When we rely on many things to do something, we rely less on our own thoughts.


The question "OK, so is it bad that we lost all that knowledge and expertise or is it just the way things go?" is up to debate.


Peace
