hate-watching the new season of Ancient Aliens and I actually shouted at my screen when he said "both Greek and Amazonian civilizations made pottery, and that pottery had geometric patterns on it. Surely this couldn't be mere coindience?" MY DUDE IT'S POTS WITH LINES ON THEM
Omg it took me a moment to realise Amazonian refered to south America and not a culture of bad ass warrior women. I was thinking "yeah they influenced each other"
I had to stop hate-watching whe I was shouting about pyramids
but they were GEOMETRIC linesbut they were GEOMETRIC lines
theres no way both the chinese and native american cultures could use the stars as a calendar... unless... aliens were involved... oh and any form of technological innovation? it was also aliens, couldnt have been human ingenuity 😀
they put them side-by-side while dramatic music played, as if to say "look how similar they are! it's this AMAZING" and no, no the patterns were extremely different styles, almost as if they were made by two wildly different cultures who both figured out 1) pots and 2) lines
