You go through these exhibits showing the wonders of the world and see the Pantheon was built in 120 AD. An engineering marvel even today. then you’re funneled into an exhibit that has some Canadian aboriginal artifacts and timelines and people are rubbing sticks together to make fire 1500 years later.. lol
LOL, might want to delete this before you get cancelled by the PC police

Anyways, people develop technology because of hardship and scarcity. Why bother building a proper house when you're going to have to move the next season. When there's too many people you need to settle down, plant shit and then build walls so other people won't steal your stuff. Now all of a sudden you have kings, politicians, religion, and a 40-hour work week all up in your shit telling you what to do.

Why do all that when you can follow the buffalo with the seasons, pick and eat berries, fish for salmon, sleep whenever you want, fuck whenever you want, etc. I'm not entirely sure the best side won w.r.t. to "colonization".
