Have you noticed the huge irony that the people who go on about the Ancient Greeks being so important wouldn't pay any attention to Socrates or Plato or Aristotle if they were born during their era? They'd be too busy wanking over the Ancient Egyptians.
And so on back in time, until the first group of humans would have some people claiming that Neanderthal mud paintings are the most profound thoughts of all time and only a disgusting pleb could think otherwise.

Did you actually put any significant amount of thought into this post or did you just need something to do to fill the time you spent sitting constipated in the bathroom?
How about actually reading a Thucydides or something before posting shit? I will give you a slight spoiler: if what your used to is "Neanderthal mud paintings" (which the quality of your post seems to support), you're in for a wild ride, little frogposter.
