It seems that in many places around the world there are cave paintings of ancient people. Some date back to an age before the most recent ice age. A lot of archaeologists believe the paintings show where to find game so they could stay well fed. However, just 2 years ago one archaeologist has a really good case for some of the paintings to herald what is in the heavens - the movement of the stars.
It is fascinating to me that ancient people knew so much about the sky and our planet's role in the universe. But, even with the knowledge they had, they still are ancient people and did not have near the vantage point that we do today. So with life... our most recent vantage point should be the one that guides us because it is the one that has the wisdom, the accumulated experience and knowledge, the applied living principles that work.
While cave paintings are fascinating and intriguing, they do not represent current reality. So with life!
