The "computer" is very impressive, but the ancient Greeks were well versed in mathematics and had the intellectual background to pull something like this off. I don't think our brains are any more advanced than the ancient Greeks or any other people's.
The Baghdad battery is an ingenious invention, but is about as simple as it gets.
Is it really that big a deal for people with our level of intelligence to attempt dental procedures and what real evidence is there that actual brain surgery was performed - SUCCESSFULLY? This doesn't impress me at all.
I don't think any of this says anything about the current accepted views of time. I love mystery and the unknown as much as anybody, but some people let this "love" get the best of them. |

Why do you think all these cultures across the globe speak of Golden Ages in the distant past. Do you think it's some kind of mental or "cultural" disorder that afflicts them all? Like a wishful thinking that is programmed into our genes, or something like that?
I think I have seen experts show the skull of someone who had been operated on, brain sugery. They knew the patient had survived because the tissue had regenerated. But I don't remember whether this was from a skull found in what is today Pakistan or somewhere else. Could also have been ancient Egypt. |

The only "golden age" legend I've ever heard of is Atlantis, and there are a lot of legends out there, some of which could be from the same source. To me that's pretty meaningless. What makes you think they are anything more than legend? We've yet to find Atlantis.
Even back in those days, I'm sure it could be possible to cut somebody's skull open and they would survive it, but drawing the conclusion that it was brain surgery is fantasy. The human race does all kinds of odd ritualistic practices. That's a lot more plausible than brain surgery.
Sorry. I can't buy into anything like this without a LOT more or at least some evidence. I'm sure in the past, that pockets of people may have developed lost technologies, but there is no evidence it's anything more than that. I think people constantly understimate the resourcefulness and intelligence of ancient people that sometimes had limitless resources as their demand. |

The article I posted talks about these Golden Ages and the cultures that believed in them:
"Giorgio de Santillana, the former professor of the history of science at MIT, tells us that most ancient cultures believed consciousness and history were not linear but cyclical, meaning they would rise and fall over long periods of times. In his landmark work, Hamlet's Mill, Giorgio and co-author Hertha von Dechend showed that the myth and folklore of over 30 ancient cultures around the world spoke of a vast cycle of time with alternating Dark and Golden Ages that move with the precession of the equinox. Plato called this the Great Year."
Ancient Greece, ancient India, several tribes and cultures in the Americas, etc. |
