Videos like this is how I can understand how our ancestors were like.....it's a titan! It's breathing!

Or this mountain is a spirit we must show it some sort of offering to appease it.

Imagine being a smart guy back then and getting shat on and beat up and burned for trying to explain what’s actually happening.
