More ancient Pagans might be more likely to just find stuff that isn't like their own cultures amusing, but it's hard to say. Modern movies would eff them up, as we're all desensitized from it. They told similar kinds of stories, but hearing about something & seeing it are two different things.

[@aaronkingston3444]

Highly doubt there are any star charts from 30 000 years ago. There wasn't writing until 5000 years ago, and as you should know from your school experience, chart creation is on a higher skill level than writing. Thus if they had the higher skill of chart creation 30k years ago, where is the lower skill of writing from 30k years ago? Just because a guy in a white lab coat says that something is from 30k years ago, doesn't mean that it is so. It's possible that the rock the star chart is on is from 30k years ago, but that doesn't mean that the engraving is from 30k years ago. The engraving is at best only 5000 years old.
