They had the most progressive culture n their kingdom/country was far n wide. And then..they’re gone. Their accomplishments w/ numbers n celestial observations are still studied n used today. And we call them ancients but they were a great society from what I’ve learned. How exciting to have an understanding of their language n symbols. Very interesting..
