This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We would see evidence of that. Which we don't.

We do see evidence of gigantic monsters that roamed the Earth millions upon millions of years ago.

If they invented some technology, it was either made from paper, or we would see fossils of it. But we don't see fossils of it, nor is paper very capable as a technology.

I could totally see an antiquity-level society that's built on wood and paper. Cultures are weird, the Celts seemed to be fairly advanced for their time (apparently they invented a number of fairly intricate and important technologies) but left practically no writing for religious reasons. The Inca had a fairly large empire but had no wheel and they didn't even have any animals to ride.
