Once upon a time there was a civilization that considered itself "advanced."
The people of that time were given priceless gifts by Mother Nature--clean oceans, fertile estuaries, and pure freshwater springs that sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight.
The people of that time were also given priceless tidbits of wisdom in old sayings, stories and scriptures that were passed down through generations:
- A myth about another advanced civilization that had destroyed itself.
- A scripture about the dangers of worshiping a golden calf (material wealth).
- A cautionary tale about not shitting where you eat or drink.
And what do you think happened?
