An in depth examination of ancient meme complexes through the lens of memetics must inevitably lead to the collapse of currently accepted thought paradigms concerning ancient human development and cultural information transfer. Cultures which were disconnected by time and supposed to have no interaction with each other produced intricate memes and meme complexes which were far too similar and widespread to be coincidence.
Searching for the thread which connects these cultures while explaining meme replication without interaction leads to one of only a couple possibilities, all of which upend commonly held beliefs about ancient man.Either the ancients were more advanced than originally thought and communicated across great distances, or they must have originated or been influenced by a single advanced civilization (Lemuria, Mu, or Atlantis for example).
A third option to explain this would be that each civilization was actually disconnected by time and space but all were receiving similar information through the Pineal Gland from their spiritual teachers, enlightened masters, and shamans.
