The assumption when talking about ‘advanced civilizations’ back then, is that we now believe that we are somehow now advanced ourselves. Yes we have done many things with the ability to write, communicate and create, but we are not all that far out of the cave yet.

Humans can be brutal to each other and more animalistic that we like to think that we are. Name one other creature that has created the ability to completely destroy ourselves and our entire planet. We think that we are so great.

In this modern age it would be interesting to see how advanced we really would be if, let’s say, somehow all electricity was suddenly cut off, then let’s also throw in: what if suddenly our running water to our houses would stop. It is funny, but the cultures that would most likely survive are the ones that we see as the ‘undeveloped’ 3rd world.
