| I know. I'm just too lazy to absolutely prove this kid wrong. Either way, the Greeks rocked at technology. They also theoretically created the first steam engine...How is that for cool? They could've had an automated deathray carrying train. Assuming they used their primitive computer, built the steam engine and then set up the mirrors on it! :lol: |

| If technology wasn't lost, by now we would be either (1) colonizing other planets, or (2) dead because of war or environmental collapse. | |||

| What the hell? China and Greece didn't make any contact...AT ALL until the Helinistic age. And even then, it was mostly through seeing each other in Western India, which was very unlikely. Interestingly enough, it was the Silk Road that the Romans had built 100 years after their conquest of Greece that bolstered European-Asian trade. Eventually, the abacuse was brought to Europe. |

Originally posted by Kitten Yiffer They were pretty advanced down there yes, but the the dark age came. I wonder how techonlogy would went if it didn't fall... On Stargate SG-1 they give an answer to this in the form of a race called the Aschen. They are more advanced than us because they had no dark age. |

| Apophis, that sounds kind of cool... I remember reading somewhere that if there wasn't an American revolution, we would be 40 years ahead of where we are right now, in terms of technology. |
