[QUOTE="Parthicus, post: 3585799, member: 81887"]Yes, clearly people 2,500 years ago could never have thought up the idea to take a small piece of metal, place it between two dies, and hit the whole combo with a big hammer. Such complicated technology was clearly beyond the grasp of primitive humans. ;) I mean, seriously? I can _almost_ sort of see why some people might believe aliens helped out ancient civilizations who didn't leave written records yet achieved impressive art and architecture, like the Incas. But the Greeks left extensive writings behind (not to mention a lot of artifacts)- don't you think that Plato's Republic should include a section comparing government on Planet Xbblllttt to the ideal society? Or Thucydides should mention that the Spartans used ray guns against the Athenians? Unless those sections have been suppressed.... The truth is out there :greyalien:[/QUOTE]
