Civilisational progress keeps developing linearly upwards

I am waiting for the day when AI generated images and videos too, like the one in circulation these days claiming greatness of our ancient Rishis who could do surgery and were discoverers of many laws of science which westerners stole from India, would source genesis from some ancient myth and try to prove how advance those mythical characters were. 

Civilisations have been progressing and developing linearly upward over 8000 years. People in olden times too were aware of many processes and procedure like days, months, mathematics, astronomy, medicine and surgery but learnt from sheer observations. Some resourceful ones recorded that too when they learnt to write and found something to write on like clay tablets, or rocks or even some leaf. However they never could anywhere explain the logic for the conclusion they arrived at. Gods of many kinds and their divine actions, charms and magics were their excuses to explain what they otherwise observed. 

Mesopotamians, and Sumerians at least 7000 years before were  making canals, developing languages and were writing on astronomy and medicine on tablets which are available to verify today. SURGERY was common in Mesopotamia too some 6000 years back. It was common in several places in later civilisations too. Not that Indians might not have known these things. May be, but those experiences or even of say Mesopotamians,  no where can be compared to modern science to make false claims of suprematist greatness using fakery. 

To associate Newtons findings to falling apple is kiddish. Newton's observation was not restricted to just recording somewhere on dry leaf what he observed. He went ahead and developed full theory and scientific reasoning around his observations and proved those laws for universality using complex mathematics and by submitting his finding to critical analysis and peer review and were later led to consistent practical purposes and inventions. All those finding of various hardworking men  during past 6 centuries  have led  us to have today tools like aeroplanes to fly to foreign lands to become NRI and enjoy AI which  creates such fake videos to covert and indoctrinate even educated, experienced  elders into mediocrity.
