Not really, but it is important to remember that Stone Age societies had 10s of thousands of years to develop, and we've barely had 4 thousand years to try and figure things out.
This is why history is messed up. It’s been rewritten countless times by those in power who don’t want us to understand what came before. Rinse and repeat over 10k years or who knows how long and we can’t recall who we are...

Chinese professor Huang Heqing has proposed the idea that Eurocentric models of historical accounts on ancient Levant, southern Europe, and even including the Indus valley people and ancient India, are fabrications to as Taiwan english news reported:
A Chinese professor claims that the Egyptian pyramids, the Parthenon, and other remnants of ancient civilizations in the West, were all faked by Western scholars in order to fabricate an ancient history, and diminish the glory of China.
Initially reported by [www.hk01.com...]Hong Kong News[/url] the professor of a well established university has almost abruptly given his rather conspiratorial account of the west fabricating almost everything involved in ancient cultures and ways of life, battles, reforms, etc, etc. as fabrications by European and western nations. A rather bold claim on his account.
I will point out a rather humorous comment on the TEN article linked above to sort out this blatant attempt to revise history.
First someone invents the Homeric epics the Illiad and the Odyssey (and all their derivate works like the Aeneid and the Divine Comedy), then invents the ruins of Troy AND then let someone like Schliemann start digging – ALL in some few years with the purpose of degrading China. Without anyone in the European cultural elite objecting to this? Sure.
That Huang Heqing grew up during the Cultural Revolution, where those that couldn’t doublethink were executed, explains a lot of his “reasoning”.
On a personal note, this is a stark reminder of what lengths, and how far gone the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) have gone to ensure such rhetoric and how far they have strayed from Maoist contradictions. In 2008, I will point out that a great statue of the Empire builder Genghis Khan, standing 30 meters in height was erected glorifying Mongol independence, a sort of symbol to stick it to Beijing. Which clearly struck a nerve considering in October 2020 an exhibit to show case the historical figure was met with backlash:
It said the Chinese authorities demanded that certain words, including “Genghis Khan,” “Empire” and “Mongol” be taken out of the show. Subsequently, it said that they asked for power over exhibition brochures, legends and maps.
Any attempts to revise, or sway historical facts and efforts is unacceptable.
