But I think it worth noting two things in that regard a) the "simplest of tools" often aren't all that simple when you think about what goes into the history of all the things involved in making that "simple" tool, and b) the flower photograph is not done with "simple" tools at all, it's done with very advanced 20 century tools.
oh, well i was thinking more of tools through the ages and not necessarily this photograph example. and about primitive tools made from stone, wood, or bone, and how with imagination and inquisitiveness, man builds on each success and inspires new, improved ways of doing things..

Even if the Shroud were from 1300's A.D. it' still post-Noah'sFlood.
So, what technology do we have pre-Tower of Babel or Noah's Flood?

I don't think it's any secret that the ancients weren't the cave dwellers that many assume. The Egyptians certainly proved that when they built the pyramids---a feat which could probably not be duplicated even today.
This is where I tend to disagree a little. I don't think building the pyramids was as difficult as most do. Yes, it most definately is an awesome piece of work but the technology to do it wasn't a big deal. What's impressive is the scale of the project.
Let me give you a few examples of why I say this. Granted, my examples are much much smaller, but let me finish and you will see how I feel it relates.
I am one of those types that can figure out anything. I think the phrase "necessity is the mother of invention" would be applicable in my case. Not that I am extra intelligent or anything (obvious by the way I write), I just seem to have a natural ability to figure out how to do anything I set my mind to.
About 6 months ago I bought a piece of equipment for the business I am in the process of opening. A piece of industrial equipment that weighs 2400 lbs. It was loaded by a forklift onto the center of a 14' trailer. I had no clue how I was going to unload it. Everyone kept telling me I would have to rent a fork lift to unload it. They could see no other option available....neither could I at the moment. Unfortunately this wasn't really an option. It was a rented trailer that had to be returned in the morning. Eventually everyone left but me.
I pulled up a chair and just sat there. Hmmm...what to do, what to do? Anyways, to make a long story short, I figured out how to unload it and did it by myself. With only the stuff in my shop. There were no lifts, or cranes or anything like that. Unless a person is able to think waaay outside the box, you will never be able to figure out how I did it. It was simple and required very little physical strength. No one believes me that I did by myself....no equipment. They actually believe me, they are just aggravated that I won't tell how....and they can't figure it out. It was funny watching them try to figure out how to just move it on the floor a little.
Necessity is the mother of invention. I had no choice. I HAD to unload it somehow. Where there's a will, there's a way.
When refering to the pyramids, I don't think that there is anyone alive that can totally rid their mind of modern technology. Even when all of these scholars get together and try all of their theories, I would bet modern technology is still limiting the creative process. It's kind of like some of the engineers where I work. Ask them to design a multi-million dollar piece of equipment and they have no problem. Ask them to build something really simple out of junkyard parts and they can't do. They can't turn off the intelligence and turn on the creativity at the same time.
Does this make any sense?
I think the pyramids are amazing, but I also think that if you really knew how they built them you would smack yourself in the forehead and say '" DUH...why didn't I think of that!"

AloneinOh, I tend to agree with you: sometimes the simplest methods are the most effective. I saw a program of how the Egyptians could have erected pylons using mostly sand.........something that would take a great amount of ingenuity and huge cranes if we used todays methods. My point with the pyramids were: if they could figure out how to build something so incredible 5,000 years ago just by using simple tools, and we still can't figure out how exactly they did it, then I would certainly say that the ancients were, in alot of respects, more technologically advanced than what we are.
By the way, how DID you get that thing unloaded on your own??!! You've got me curious now!
Brenda asked: So, what technology do we have pre-Tower of Babel or Noah's Flood?
Not much, but there was an interesting theory a few years ago that the Sphinx might be alot older than originally thought. One theory is:
"...Working from the premise that the Giza complex encodes a message, they begin with recently discovered geological evidence indicating that the deep erosion patterns on the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by 1000 years of heavy rain. Such conditions last existed in Egypt at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000-9,000 B.C., meaning that the Sphinx may be more than 12,000 years old (not the generally accepted 4500 years). Using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing the three stars of Orion's Belt, along with associated causeways and alignments, constitute a record in stone of the celestial array at the vernal equinox in 10,500 B.C."
This is not concrete proof, but still an intriguing theory of pre-Flood technology.

tHANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR REPLIES.
The Baghdad battery,they think may have used in religious ceremonies,to impress.
Possibly produced a small electrical charge.

yeah, i heard the babel tower was in part to place on top of it anntenas for tv, radio and cellular communications.
The rest was for excutive offices, you know like the world trade center... but the arabs did not like it and asked ala to do something about
But then they saw how convinient it could be and tried themselves at Egyp later on, changing the shape not infring exclusive copyrights...
So advanced that they teached an snake and a Ass how to talk, parrots are still learning...
What's more they invented the wheel by just watching the moon and an orange rolling down hill

I saw a show on some pre-flood tech on the history channel can't remember when was a water clock that was accurate to the second was used to tell when the exact moment the heir to the empire was concieved (talk about a command preformance.... 100,000 people all yelling ready.... set.... NOW) they must have invented pre-flood viagra to make this possible I think people are smart and have been for a long time... but I have yet to see steel girders or plastics unearthed... in 10 million years we will still be able to prove we were here just with dipers and mcdonalds hamburger wrappers...
