Well apparently the people of the ancient world were a lot more ingenious than most of the people of today. Not to be insulting to modern man, but think about it. We can't figure how they did certain things, or built certain things. I mean sure, we could build pyramids today, but could we do it without relying on anything that wasn't here 5000 years ago?
