In all fairness technological development for the last 100 years is hyperbolically steeper than anytime in human history and even the 100 years prior (the first car patent is supposedly from 138 years ago).

That's what I was thinking too. The Pyramids date back 5000 years ago or so. I'd imagine humans well figured out how to ride a horse before building the pyramids.

I mean, the Pyramids are so ancient by the time Caesar went to Egypt the Pyramids were already considered ancient.
