"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—"“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . .Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
--- Percy Bysshe Shelley

The Mighty Ancients!
Abstract The Earth is dotted with ancient ruins.The Quran asks us to take
heed from these ruins, as those civilisations were ‘greater in strength and in
impression on the land’. This study explores what the Quran states about the
ancients, as well as lists the discoveries of ancient ruins. It is interesting
to note that, contrary to popular belief, both point towards mighty
civilisations which flourished in the ancient past.

Languages also get more complex by borrowing words and concepts from other
languages.

The weird thing about "aryan" history (originally a linguistic term) is that
it is primarily a history of devolution. Classical Sanskrit is already
considerably less grammatically complex than its predecessors. So the earliest
human ancestors presumably spoke a language that was far more advanced and
complex than any currently in active usage. Bizzare. Same thing with the
Blavatskyites and their theories of primordial loss.
Interesting podcast by John McWhorter about this. The short version, there is
no general rule that languages simplify over time:
http://www.slate.com/articles/podcasts/lexicon_valley/2017/09/do_languages_get_simpler_over_time.html
The most trivial refutation is that if languages always simplified over time,
the first humans 100,00 years ago would have been maximally complex, and by now
our languages should all be ridiculously simply. Languages like Chinese and
English have indeed simplified and one of the reasons is that these imperial
languages have added large numbers of adult speakers who had to newly learn the
language which tends to lead to simplification. But he also give several
counter examples.
