In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth
the humble reasoning of a single individual.  I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. [Galileo Galilei]

Official position of science presents the picture of the past in which humanity started from primitive beginnings, and steadily progressed upward in the development of culture and science.

The wisdom of our ancestors frequently puzzles modern people.
Spiritual approach views the ancient writings as a source of religious methodology of spiritual self-perfection and knowledge about God, Life and Death, Evolution, and the meaning of life.  Literal approach treats ancient texts as a source of information about historical events (The Bible becomes a history book).Is there any truth about history of the mankind and our planet in ancient writings, or is it all religious fantasy and fairy tales? Can we penetrate the sacred wisdom hidden in the writings of our ancestors?
