Yet, acupuncture claims to fix a wide range of things it doesn’t. It’s common for old ideas to be associated with accurate information without actually being true. The classical elements Earth, Air, Fire, and Water might map to ice, water, steam, and plasma but they don’t explain the fundamental nature and complexity of all mater. So no it’s not that the wisdom of the ancients it’s simply an observation by people like us that didn’t actually understand much about how things actually worked. The pyramids are shaped that way because it’s a straightforward way to build something very tall from stones. The complicated bits are all inside, and not that interesting. |

Attributing motive is a careful game, but so is dismissing this as “happenstance”.
I concede though that there surely are parts that seem to just not hold water in our framework of thinking. But perspective, reality, and such are not straightforward. Hence why we need a vast amount of statistics just to say something was caused by a separate action.
I just don’t buy into the idea that we as a civilization have the furthest progress of human knowledge. Many fields we do, but there have been many periods in history where books, scrolls, etc were lost or destroyed. Library of Alexandria for one.
