The romans had the greeks, the greeks had the egyptians. The romans would be nothing without etruscan and greek mathematics and philosophy.

If you fall into fringe theory, people are starting to really wonder if a now undiscovered south american culture that existed 10,000 years ago had such advanced stone technology it made metal working look primitive. Massive impossibly heavy and smoothly machined stone blocks that were not moved by thousands of slaves, but actually moved with either knowledge of magnets or they were somehow able to superheat basalt into molten liquid and somehow poured them into molds. Obviously the really crazy people say aliens. But the mainstream archaeologists who say these things were carved and moved by hand are equally as retarded.

There are fucking holes and other slots that have been measured as mathematically perfect. Without a single warp or inconsistency. Things that are only capable with modern 3d printing tech. Except these are done on some of the hardest stone in the world.
