Exactly.  This video perfectly sums up my view:

However I have to add that you shouldn't assume people believed the way ppopular culture assumes they did.  For instance they didn't really believe the world was flat, and I gauruntee a lot of people (Maybe most) back then didn't REALLY think a chariot pulled the sun.  But that is an entirely different topic.

Philosophers didn't, no. But most people did, just like most people still hold a religious belief today.

And I dunno, you'd have to be fairly hardcore to make THAT many statues of dieties you don't believe in. Or the temples.

 

I mean, the Colossus of Rhodes, man.

Ehhh I don't have the time to do the proper research, but I have read many things in my International Studies minor that points to none of that being true.  It is just modern people choosing to believe that passed peoples were dumb.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
