Then again, what is science unless it is to stand on the shoulders of 
giants?  All of our information, all of our theories, everything of our 
knowledge is pretty much based on the works of those who came before.  
Were there drilling platforms on the scale of what they are today?  No.  
Were there diamond drill bits like those today a hundred years ago?  No.  
But evidence does provide that there were prototypes of such technology 
elsewhere in the world before the advent of the DWEM cultures, such as in 
China, Mesopotamia, etc.  Perhaps, if they hadn't come up with the 
prototypes, or the basic concepts, we wouldn't have them today.
