We live in a hyper specialized society where it is necessary to rely on others for their expertise. For example, everyone who drives a car has to pump gas but few people understand how a refinery works, what it takes to transport the fuel and how it has to be stored. For the most part expertise is apparent in the product produced, does the bridge stand? do the lights come on? But when it comes to social studies, such as religion and history, how is the product tested? In this episode I present several sites and corresponding artifacts that I believe force the standard narrative into question. From the colossal unfinished stones still in the quarry to precision cut boxes and caves there are clues that point to a radically misunderstood past technology cloaked by the passage of time. I believe the sites mentioned in this episode blow holes in the standard narrative of linear human progression and challenge the assertion that modern humanity is at the pinnacle of civilizational achievement.
