OK, who wants to take a crack at ancient technology? like the Egyptians, Mayans, Greeks?
I remembered seeing the show on Archimedes (the famous ancient Greek inventor) on History Channel and then started to read up on him. He created machines (I think computers for that time, really) that are still mind boggling til this day. They did some recreations on the show and it was really awesome... so it makes me wonder, why do we think that we have only advanced in the past 100 years or so?? When there is a wide array of people acknowledging that even with our technical advances today, it would be hard to recreate the pyramid and other ancient structures? Frank brought up a good point. If those people were so primitive, how did they make such accurate engineering calculations?? The pyramid was less than 1 inch in error....can you imagine???? goose bumps..LOL
