Hmm, I’m one of those who think that the ancients were absolutely brilliant. And I’m sure you’ll find plenty of people who think the same. Like Newton said, “If I have seen further, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”.
I haven’t seen much of the world. Traveled Europe. Did that year in Egypt. My dad said if I thought Egypt was great, I ought to check out Baalbek.
Really would like to get to S. America and check some of that.
And I don’t really think the ancients were absolutely brilliant. After what I’ve seen, I know they were.
