Time is a crazy thing

 

[Chris]

No one should be alive that fought in that war, way too young

Like the fact that Wooly Mammoths were still around in Siberia during the time the Pyramids were being built

 

[Chris]

The pyramids fuck up my whole perception of time in general

 

[Chris]

Grim I'm sure you've heard this story before too but there's an amazing report from Xenophan when he stumbled upon some 200 year old Assyrian cities that were abandoned but still clearly greater than anything Greece could do yet

 

[Chris]

And not a soul there knew who built it

 

[Chris]

And the whole time the pyramids were 1500 years old already so there is where my mind breaks

Shit, the people of Greece didn't even know about the Minoan civilization outside of the mythological tale of the minotaur. Like they knew a civilization called Minoa existed, but it was so ancient they didn't even know what the culture was like, nor their language.
