Have you ever noticed that every single National Geographic show and Discovery Channel program dealing with ancient and/or lost civilizations has this statement in it:
"This extraordinarily ancient pyramid/temple/burial site, built by presumably scientifically primitive cultures in the farthest, most inhospitable swamps/deserts/mountains/jungles is the size of three/ten/fifteen football fields."
I find it amazing that ancient civilizations used the modern football field as a unit of measurement.
