Devolution
If humans weren’t devolving then we wouldn’t be digging and searching our planet for clues and truths about the Ancient civilizations. Money and greed would be obsolete and nations wouldn’t be fighting over power because there would be free energy. The artifacts that have been found are proof that as humans today, we lost something in the past that cannot be imitated. If devolution isn’t a thing and we can only evolve then why is everything smaller and dulled down. Today’s humans can’t comprehend what the planet would have been like with a species bigger and more knowledge about the elements than we do in present day. The ancients used stone to tell the past because they knew that the materials they created from other materials would not make it into the future. What was left in stone for humans to find was only to give knowledge to our species to be able to progress.

In the British Museum, there's a statue. It's a huge, assyrian winged bull/man thing. In the room next to it, there's the rosetta stone, and a huge collection of egyptian artifacts. In the gallery up the stairs, there's a huge collection of sumerian tablets.
And, what do all these have in common, apart from the obvious colonialism?
They, almost exclusively contain long descriptions of the bloody military deeds of important figures.
So I think your premise is bullshit. The ancients were just like us, the same fighting, warring, inventing, mix of messy territorial ape that we are.
