The Lost Pyramids of Caral - BBC Doco

A BBC documentary exploring the ideas behind what may have caused the dawn of civilization, was it warfare, was it trade, irrigation? Pretty interesting if your into this kind of thing, I can just imagine an idea being passed around the ancient world because it was useful, it helped everyone and made everything so much more easier, cutting out a world of pure survival and providing time for more good ideas.

It's like the internet, if you come up with something that everyone wants, something people feel they'll be better off because of knowing, it will spread across the world in minutes... dang I wish I had an idea like that, I'd be rich.

In the end I guess their conclusion explains a lot of what is wrong with our current civilization.



Just as an aside, if it's long and I watch it, I'll post it and I've got a lot of long ones to watch.
