Re: "It definitely does for me, people back then were the same as we are now, they did very well to survive without our modern technology..." That is a very important observation. Over the centuries between then and now our TECHNOLOGY has advanced by leaps and bounds, the technological tools of civilization by which we insulate ourselves from full exposure to 'Mother Nature' have grown in power and sophistication... but MAN HIMSELF is practically unchanged. Re: "...they mixed a chalk based substance into their water in the evening, overnight the chalk would sink to the bottom along with all the impurities, this made the water fresh and very clean in the morning, much like the water filters we use today..." When I was a kid, and had a job working at a small city's water supply system, that was one of my daily tasks --- to administer the proper amount of 'flocculant', a chemical that, when poured into the water, adhered to suspended organic particles in the water and then settled them and itself out into a jelly like layer of goo on the bottom of the tank, leaving cleaned water above. I guess there isn't that much that's new after all.... :-)
