And yet they thought the earth was flat and sacrificed children to appease imaginary gods.  Things that make you go HHHMMM  !!!!

You are a complete fucking moron

Not all past civilizations thought or did that...most of the ones referred to knew the earth was not flat and did not do human sacrifice.

Oh Brother, yet another Nutter who thinks ancient civilisations had some mystical abilities that baffle us all today.  They were primitive people who had barely any idea about how the world around them worked. Hope this helps.

Are you seriously suggesting that ancient cultures were more technologically advanced than modern civilisation?  If you are,you are seriously ignorant, not just moderately ignorant, but seriously fucked up on a whole other level ignorant.  They learned some basic maths and physics, they still assumed sickness was because you displeased the gods.  They were a backward, superstitious people with a very limited understanding of the world around them.

I never at any point said all or any ancient civilizations were more advanced than we are dipshit

I said many of them were vastly more advanced than most people realise, in the fields of astronomy, architecture and engineering, as well as many other sciences.

Have you actually studied any of this stuff??? Only a complete fucktard would suggest the structures on the Giza platea or on the high antiplano of south america-just to name a few- were the work of 'primitive ignoramouses who didnt know anythi g about the world around them' and describe such feats of engineering as 'just rocks stacked on top of each other'.

Clearly you have zero actual knowledge of this subject

Yeah, but I high school kid can understand it.  The Bible is still relevant today, lasting the test of time isn't always a sign of validity.

Yeah, I have read about it, the mayans, the egyptians, and seriously, I'm not that impressed, Gene mapping, brain transplants and nuclear fission seem far greater achievements than creating pyramid sand castles and calendars.

What the fuck are you even talking about?  I know it's mathematics, they teach it in high school.  My point was, what was once considered amazing discovery of knowledge is now easily understandable by a teenager.  You daft twat!

It's feminist nonsense, pseudo science masquerading as fact. 

It's not pseudo science. Women do have better peripheral vision and an acute sense of smell. Men are physically stronger, is that pseudo science as well?

The philosophy back then was primitive as well.
