    Tirns out ancient people had less bullshit to deal with and the weord crap they got obsessive about was, like, the sky and shit.

    And maybe they were also better at math than us, but you cant prove that.

    And if you can; fight me.

      You would be much better at math and astronomy if your life depended on it. If a big part of your life was spent travelling by foot you’d become an expert at figuring out distances and travel times. If your lively hood depended on noticing the passing of seasons every year and the position of the moon in the sky, you would learn to notice them easily - or just, like, die.
