Ancient High Technology - Food For Thought

Published by Shane under Amuse Me, Deepness, History

Solomon once wrote, “There is nothing new under the sun.

Ever wonder just how true that really is?

Check out Cracked’s compilation of completely unexplained archaeological finds.  Warning: if you don’t like reading foul language, don’t go to cracked.com.  But if you can overlook the language, check out these six unexplained archaeological finds - like batteries from ancient Mesopotamia.  A clockwork atronomical device from Greece.  Complex pipe networks in backwater, uninhabited, ancient China.

Myself, I look at these and I see something that logically fits with the Biblical account.  Just after the flood, God himself marvelled at human ingenuity, and had to confuse language to keep humanity from too much pride.  It makes perfect sense to me that from creation onward, the capabilities, strength and health of humanity have been progressively decreasing, in keeping with the second law of thermodynamics.  It makes perfect sense that mankind has had highly technological moments in the past, but been brought low.  And all these treasures are directly in keeping with that.
