Even while acknowledging some scientific thinking and progress on certain subjects, it is not quite right to say that much of modern science was known in ancient times. We have evidence of the earliest human beings and even the dinosaurs. Had there been robots, computers and aeroplanes and the like in ancient times, some evidence would have definitely been there. Please don't mix mythology and science. Mythology is beautiful in its own way and shows the beauty of human imagination but do not equate that with science..

The plagues of ignorance, hate and war, whether in the name of religion or power, have vexed human progress. We continue to worship idols and condemn ourselves to repeat this shameful history on the path of extinction.

I totally agree. The loss of the great ancient libraries was a tragedy. The library of Alexandria was burnt by Christian fanatics. SLowly over time, the true facts will be revealed. However the myths indicate the truth of some events that actually occurred but could not be interpreted correctly as our knowledge was very limited at the time.

In the end, we can mostly just speculate. But they are fun speculations.
