You are quite right, Kisak.
Don't pay notice to my unfortunate expression. I was influenced by casern talks about the use of contemporaneous methods while i was serving in the armed forces... a period for oblivion.
As i (also) approached above, we often find that those techniques thought to be recently invented, have their roots in ancient times.
