When I was a child, we would sit together as a family and watch documentaries about ancient history.

Cultural similarities are one of the most
intriguing aspects of ancient man to study. Common structures such as pyramids,
mounds, and stone monuments can be found all over the world; the same goes for
artistic talents and technological works of genius. Naturally we find
similarities among religions and beliefs as well.
