2025, under the complication of politics and economic agenda, it is high time that we should ask the question: How are we seeing the future? Better yet, is there anything that we can borrow from the past? The answer is "YES." The legacy of ancient civilizations extends far beyond historical curiosity. Their innovations in math, engineering, and governance form the bedrock of many modern systems. Understanding these connections helps us appreciate the depth of our cultural roots.
