[@theexchipmunk]

People who believe it is all fake. Thats who. Many often forget that humans back then were pretty much the same as they are today. But they always have this image that people in the past were stupid. Despite a lot of the basics we still use today being developed and discovered in those times.

[@PhilJonesIII]

@@theexchipmunk Agreed. The ancients had black, seriously black skies and the stars incredibly clear. I have to drive a long way to get close to that for my astrophotography. They command attention and study so, it's little wonder they spent a lot of time doing exactly that. As for technology, they tended to be famous for hiding all they knew concerning anything that might give a military advantage or any advantage to another nation. This was especially true with iron. They would sell to you but not give away secrets.

[@PhilJonesIII]

@Dr. M. H. That reminds me of a humorous book I picked up once, written by an Asian-Indian. He claimed, tongue in cheek, that the British invested many years devising a way to ruin tea. After much research and expense, they found the perfect formula: Add milk and sugar. For some types of tea, I'm not entirely sure he was wrong :)

[@RedWolf777SG]

@@PhilJonesIII Ah yes.....light pollution. That is a great price to pay for progress. Hopefully we'll invent alternative way to luminate our cities without causing too much light pollution. So that generations to come can finally see the stars and the nightly skies. People don't realize how truly beautiful the night can be.

@@RedWolf777SG I took my sons up into the French Alps overnight to see the Milky Way. Dragged them out of the tent at 1 am and told them to look up.

[@Reman1975]

@Dr. M. H. Possibly, But from my experience, for this kind of precision hand tool work you can't really let your mind wander and rely on muscle memory. You have to be in the here and now to avoid mistakes. I suppose if you mean "Meditative" as in focusing all your attention on the task at hand so no other concerns of life intrude on your consciousness, Then maybe......... But I'd personally still be too sick of hand cutting gear teeth to continue after less than 5 hours. :)

[@Reman1975]

@Dr. M. H. Well, I think 5 hours would be about the time it would take for me to start screaming "WTF am I doing?!?!?, Not doing this sort of work was what milling machines, Indexing heads and bloody involute cutters were made for !!!!!". :) OK, I was trained as an engineer, subsequently I only tend to see this sort of thing from a machinist's perspective. I know that with the right basic machinery I could crank these out 20 at a time and have 100 made before Chris could get 1/8 of the way around the one he was making, And knowing that fact would be eating away at me the whole time I was "Messing about" with hand files. So I don't think this mindset would allow me to attain any sort of inner peace or tranquillity from the task. :D
