Somewhere in some remote corner ofEquestria, a group of pony archaeologist discover the ruins of an ancient human civilization, complete with human remains, ruins of buildings and tools, and scrolls written in a strange language. What would they deduce from us?
3352882 Don't forget that the reason the Greeks and Romans didn't advance much technologically was their anti-tech bias (their god of technology was a cripple who couldn't keep his wife interested). A bronze-age culture doesn't have to be as primitive as the Greeks and Romans. The Romans had everything they needed to make automatic weapons, and the Greeks invented a steam engine. The printing press doesn't require iron age tech, and there are very elaborate stone age astronomical observatories.

Depends, are the ruins modern buildings or ancient. Are they seeing humans from a thousand years ago or modern day.

I was thinking that it would be similar to a bronze age civilization.

I actually have this idea for one of my episode ideas stories called 'Of Men and Ponies'.
