It’s ridiculous that some modern people think ancient people were stupid

A person from 3000 years ago could tell you what plants to eat and what not to, what cured and what would cause death. They could make a stretcher quickly or build shelter at short notice. They could navigate by the sun and stars.

Where as 21st century people cannot do anything without googling it first, and can be too self obsessed to try.

I suppose this is why I love reading history. All the big adventures were happening then. By comparison we are incredibly dull.

The average person could not invent a bow and arrow if it were not available. We are pack animals and rely on the strongest, the most affectionate and the smartest. Nothing has changed.

Well nothing apart from gaining in knowledge but that has no bearing on anything. To say people with our own make up were stupid is very shallow and to understand we must put ourselves in their position with the facilities available. Anyone that thinks otherwise must have invented everything.
