How to use "Ancient" in context?
As far back as we can trace, humans have been endeavoring to understand our origins. Some argue that ancient cultures and civilizations were more advanced than our own. Others state that the origins of humanity are still a mystery. But despite our lack of resolution, we can learn a great deal about our ancestors from their artifacts and ruins.
Some believe that ancient civilizations were more advanced than our own; for example, some argue that ancient civilizations were capable of building massive pyramids, complex irrigation systems, and other such feats that are still impossible for us to replicate.
