Ancient in this sense has a fairly specific meaning - it refers to the period from the first human written records until the end of Classical Antiquity.
This is not the place to share pseudoscientific content, ancient conspiracy theories or modern interpretations of ancient spiritualism and shamanism - that content will be removed and posters banned.
