We are not the First

A book by the same name written by Andrew Tomas is supposed to be less than speculative and highly factual on the instance of proving that the last 400 years of science are not new, but rediscoveries of previous or similar knowledge capabilities.

ATOMIC THEORY WAS WORKED OUT BY DEMOCRITUS 2500 YEARS BEFORE RUTHERFORD. PENICILLIN WAS USED BY THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS 4000 YEARS BEFORE FLEMING. ELECTRIC BATTERIES WERE USED BY THE BABYLONIANS 2000 YEARS BEFORE KÖNIG'S CELLS. SPACE TRAVEL WAS DESCRIBED BY THE PREHISTORIC CHINESE 4000 YEARS BEFORE THE APOLLO FLIGHTS.

I am extremely interested in exploring this subject just for the sake of being familiar with the information. Anyone else have thoughts or disputes with this idea?

I've also have been heavily interested in this subject. Do you own this book, I would like to read it.

No - it's $57 on Amazon....

Oh man that's pretty expensive, looks like I'll be waiting a little while for that one. Do you know of any good websites that talk about this in detail?

Not really. Based on reviews, it really seems like that book is the best resource. They compare it to other research done and say it really drops the speculation and let's the facts do all the talking.

That is pretty incredible.
