I like ancient mysteries too ... One of the reasons I studied Archaeology for my degree. However, an important lesson I learned in studying ancient artefacts is that the term "primitive" is rarely a fair one when applied to ancient humans and their civilisations. They were every bit as inventive and intelligent as we are and did incredible things within the confines of the knowledge they had discovered at any given time.

If anything, I think it's narrow minded to look at ancient achievements and to refuse to accept that they were actually made by human hands, as if it's only in the modern era that the human race has achieved anything of note.
