    Famous author CS Lewis coined a phrase that really speaks volumes about our own society and culture, chronological snobbery - Lewis defines this chronological snobbery as “the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate of our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that count discredited. In other words, we think we’re the best generation and our technology and lifestyles are far superior to those that came before us.  Ask any adolescent who listens to their parents or teachers try to keep up with the lingo these days and laughter will ensue - why?  Because deep down, they’re suffering from chronological snobbery.  And don’t think they’re the only one, we’ve all done it!  And that certainly applies to how we view history.  We look at some of the cultures that came before us and laugh - until we find something that challenges that thought - something that tells us that we’re not superior at all to those that came before us, as if our new, modern technology somehow makes us better.  Well, a fairly recent discovery is challenging just that.  I hope I don’t mess with our egos too much today, you might want to get a second, or third cup of coffee.  Welcome to the Missing Chapter, everyone, let’s get to it.
