The 19th century poem Ozymandias depicts Ramesses II and Ancient Egypt on a far grander scale than was historically accurate. Today, movies and television have the same effect on our understanding of historical places, events, and people. In your opinion, how does this effect how modern societies view societies in the past?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In my opinion, this effect makes modern societies view societies in the past as grandiose cultures that had peculiar conceptions about the gods, life, nature, and the power of pharaohs or kings.

I think movies and TV series can exaggerate a little bit about the reality of ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians, the Harappans in the Indus Valley, or ancient Egypt. But if you read about them, you realize that they were magnificent.

Not only for the power a pharaoh or an Emperor exerted over their subjects. But for the spiritual, religious, and social conception of life.

That is why, we can find impressive temples, buildings, and monuments in the archeological sites that still exist today. When archeologists and anthropologists research these ancient cultures, you admire how ancient civilizations had advanced knowledge in astronomy, engineering, social structure, and religion.

That is why even today, people still admire ancient Egypt, China, the Indus Valley Civilization, ancient India, even the Mesoamerican civilizations such as the Toltecs, Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecas, in México.
