Some people think that human history has been a journey from ignorance to knowledge. Others argue that this underestimates the achievements of ancient cultures, and overvalues our achievements. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Through history, there are numerous events that have changed our

knowledge

and achievements. Some people believe that these developments were nothing else than our society evolving from ignorance. Others,

on the other hand

, believe that every ancient culture had its greatness and achievements which should not be dismissed. Previously regarded achievements,

such

as inventing the

In contrast
