Thank you so much for this fascinating analysis. We should never underestimate the abilities of our ancestors who I have always thought were rather more able than we give them credit for. I believe their knowledge of mathematics and related sciences was extremely advanced. They were doubtless great observers of everything about them. As attractive as it sometimes is, it is easy to credit external intelligence rather than recognising that the human ability to achieve is huge provided it is directed away from war. M
