Americans especially are deeply ingrained with a falsified, romanticized view of history and generally rule out the existence of highly advanced ancient civilizations by default. But our modern civilization is simply replaying and reliving themes of Old to see if we can evolve collectively to break the cycle and bring about a more positive, sustainable outcome.
