once upon a time, even before the ancient civilizations we read about, people had to find ways to push aside problems and create amazing things! they didn't have preadmission to a school to learn their methods, and they couldn't redeploy stuff like we do with games and toys. they sort of had their own lockdown, not like ours with staying home, but by staying close and working together to build everything we learn about today, like pyramids and cities!
