How Did the Ancients? - Asking Questions Through Poetry
I wondered how the ancient peoples learned to harness the world around them and pass the knowledge on through the generations.
We take so much for granted that was unearthed or understood in our collective human history
What was it like during the days of discovery; of trial and error; of the ancient peoples of the world?

Using poetry I bring up questions to commence our understanding of the Ancients
Eating?
How did the ancients figure what to eat
To know what root was poison
And what was just a beet
Foods of the Ancients
Curing?
How did the ancients learn what was a cure
To pass it down through shamans
To keep the knowledge pure
Read about Ancient and Hidden Cures
That may yet be there
Agriculture?
How did the ancients learn to sow and reap
To know what seed to gather
What to cull and what to keep
On the History of Agriculture
Justice?
How did the ancients decide a justice fair
Keep order in the kingdom
Mete punishments with care

Clothing?
How did the ancients learn to tan the hides
Weave the wool from sheep
