I’m super curious as to what the people of civilizations like the ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, the Mayans etc. thought the future would be like? People in the 50s are always depicted as thinking the future was all chrome and hover boards and stuff, but surely those ancient civilizations had an idea of the ideal technological advances for their society? Also, as a side note, This question could probably be tied to when the concept of “future” and “past” became a commonplace knowledge. I’m just super curious about the history of human futurology!!
