INCREDIBLE HUMAN INGENUITY CAN BE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT HISTORY THROUGH ART, ARCHITECTURE, INVENTION, AND ASTRONOMY. ALL OF THESE THINGS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE DESIGN WITHIN NATURE AND THEREFORE TO GOD THE CREATOR, THE ORIGINATOR OF ALL THINGS.

About the song
This song describes the ingenuity of the human species throughout time. Ancient humans developed incredible technologies that have been forever lost us. Archeological anomalies such as the Baghdad battery and the Antikythera mechanism show us first hand how inventions are lost and repeated throughout time. The Library of Alexandria warehoused all of the known writings and technologies of the ancient world. It was the center of knowledge for it's time where all human knowledge was gathered and taught. It was forever lost and burned by the emperor Theopholis around 400 AD.

The common thread in all of man's inventions is nature itself by which everything we make is created. Observant minds have used God's design's throughout time whether they admit it our not. Humans have used God's hidden clues within nature as a guide and have used ingredients from the creation in all that they make.

It has only taken 200 years for modern man to come from the horse and buggy to space exploration. Who is to say that 5000 years ago there was not a 200 year span where amazing technologies were also developed and then forever lost?

There is no doubt that modern man has developed medical advances and scientific advances that have surpassed all known ancient societies, but we cannot let pride and ignorance cloud our view of the past. Scientists need to always be open minded to the idea that we could learn a thing or two from ancient man.

Lyrics
NOTHING'S NEW UNDER THE SUN

ARKALOGIK IN THE BOOTH AND IM DIGGIN FOR THE TRUTH
THROUGH THESE FOSSIL SPECIMENS EXTINCT LIKE SABERTOOTH
MY SPECIALTY CONSISTS IN THE STUDY OF ANOMALIES
OBSCURE ARCHEOLOGY OF ANCIENT SOCIETIES
WHO STUDIED NATURES GEOMETRIES
MADE CHARTS OF STARS CALLED ASTROLOGY
THIS INGENUITY REPEATED THROUGH HISTORY
LOOK AT THE BAGHDAD BATTERY
THOUGH RUDIMENTARY IT PRODUCED ELECTRICITY
TO ELECTROPLATE METAL WORKS AND JEWELRY
THAT ADORN AND ENHANCE WOMEN’S BEAUTY
THEY HAD ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
ASTRONOMICAL ASTRONOMERS
WITHOUT EVEN THE USE OF BINOCULARS
ARCHITECTS AND PHILOSOPHERS
CHECK THE ACCURACY OF THE MAYAN CALENDAR
THE LIBRARY VAULTS OF ALEXANDRIA
ALL OF THE GRANDEUR AND POWER OF ROME
AND THE SPHINX AND THE PYRAMIDS HEWN OUT OF STONE

NOTHINGS NEW UNDER THE SUN
WHATEVER WE DO IT’S ALREADY BEEN DONE
WWW- WHAT’S ORIGINAL?
ARE YOU ORIGINAL?
THERE’S ONLY ONE ORIGINAL

LOOK AT THE FEATS AND THE WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS
SKY WATCHING ASTRONAUT LIKE CALCULATIONS
FOR DEMONSTRATION OF INCREDIBLE INVENTIONS
I’LL MENTION THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM
AN INSTRUMENT OF PRECISION A REMNANT REMAINS
WITH FRAGMENTED INSCRIPTIONS
THAT HELPED NAVIGATIONS AND SEA EXPLORATIONS
JUST AS AMBITIOUS AS OUR EXPEDITIONS
MACHINES AND MECHANICAL ROBOTS INGENIOUS
EXQUISITE DEVICES LIKE STEAM POWERED ENGINES
EXISTED BEFORE MODERN MAN HAD THE VISION
REPEATED AND LOST IN HISTORIC REVISIONS
WITNESS ARCHIMEDES SCREW STILL TWISTIN
PUMP WATER FROM THE NILE LIKE EGYPTIANS
EVIDENCE OF MASTER MATHEMATICIANS
MAGICIANS WHO’D PUT DAVID BLAIN OUT OF BUSINESS
BLACKSMITHS AND MASONS ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS
WITH TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES THAT SURPASS EXPECTATIONS

(CHORUS)

HISTORIES MYSTERIES LOST TO OBSCURITY
CERTAINLY INTERESTING SECRET DISCOVERIES
CURIOUS PIECES RELICS ANTIQUITIES
MUMMIES WHO’S WRAPPINGS ARE SACRED
AND SEEN IN MUSEUMS SO WE CAN INTERPRET
INVESTIGATE VARIOUS THEORIES MYSTERIOUS CITIES
ARRANGEMENTS OF MEGALITH MONUMENTS
TABLETS AND DOCUMENTS BURNED BY THEOPHILUS
PHILOSOPHIES PROPHECIES OF APOCALYPSE
OPULENT PALACES GOLDEN SARCOPHAGUS
HAUNTED BY JACKALS DESERTED METROPOLIS
BIBLICAL EVIDENCE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
ECCLESIASTICAL PATTERNS ARE EVIDENT
SOLOMON SAID IT I ONLY REPEAT IT
THAT EVERYTHING'S SEEMINGLY MEANINGLESS
CYCLES REPEATING THE SEASONS REPEATEDLY
COLORED IN YELLOW AND CRIMSON
ENCRYPTED INSCRIPTIONS INCREDIBLE
VISIONS THAT INFLUENCE HUMAN DECISIONS
