The fact is that there is "nothing new under the Sun"..people are people.
There have always been scientists, thinkers, geeks, inventors, agronomists, farmers...etc.
The only difference is TIME...modern people have had more time to advance. 6000 years from now, the advancements up to 2013 will appear grossly primitive, but they will be stepping stones to 8013 technology.
So...do not be "surprised" at anything ancient that is found, its just the genius of man on display.
The deeper one digs, the more brilliant stuff will be found.
There have always been scientists, thinkers, geeks, inventors, agronomists, farmers...etc.

So true.
It all began when Grog noticed Turok pilfering vegetables from his garden at night.
He figured, “I’ll put cow dump on my vegetables and that’ll show him! He won’t eat them!”
Then Grog noticed the improved performance of his crops.
There you go - quoting the Bible. Only bitter clingers actually believe that stuff, yannow.
I couldn't agree with you more. Stop and think. These so-called 'stone age' people developed farming, domesticated animals. Figured out how to make leather, rope, weave cloth. The, famously invented the wheel, tamed fire and build some amazing structures. Not only did they figure a way to expand food production through agriculture, they also invented dozens of ways to preserve the excess food produced. They dried fruits, smoked meat, pickled, canned in pottery, made cheese, made wine and beer... I mean, they had NOTHING previous to go by, and came up with things that would be hard for us to do today using the simple tools they had developed. I know that it took thousands of years to achieve this progress, but it still is amazing.
