[QUOTE="HammerMan, post: 8553748, member: 84112"] maybe if you get into close things (This knife vs that knife, a bow vs a sling) but I mean we can very easily give levels of technology levels... having a computer, smartphone and internet is more advanced then any bronze age technology. if (and I do) you believe the Turk was an ancient computer and that Egypt could harness some form of electricity that SOUNDS like they are close to a computer. But really they are close to what a 18th or 19th century computer could look like (yes in BC and even then there is no evidence that it was ever put together) You still hit the problem that in 1998 the not smart phone I carried and the digital calculator watch I wore both had more computing power then my uncle had access to when he worked on Apollo missions. (My uncle died before I got my first iphone. I often wonder what he would say about TODAY's smart phones when he used to talk with such joy and awe about any cell phone and big bulky laptops) there isn't a single through line, infact our line double back on itself many times... but yes technology advances.
