I saw an ancient Egyptian museum spread last year and the intricate things they could do with gold jewelry blew my mind. This shit was 3000 years old. We don’t give our ancestors enough credit because so many of their marvels degraded / disintegrated. We only have a handful of their accomplishments upon which to judge them.
