But WHY do you believe that?
It's because you believe pre-scientific, counterfactual, counter-evidentiary
claims. You have no good reason to believe those things other than your
(likely) childhood inculcation in religion.
It is dishonest to start with a (faulty) conclusion and then try to make the
evidence fit it. Your conclusion, that Bronze and Iron Age folks had some
unique supernatural knowledge, is facially ridiculous.
You are a victim.
