well, at a time when our understanding of the level of human progress was supposed to be hunter-gather or at most a mobile pastoral societies there is this vast complex of stone constructions. They way, and scale, that it was build is beyond anything people had until thousands of years later. And for a supposedly pre-agricultural age how would they have supported the number of workers necessary to do this? Also, evidence shows it was purposefully buried at some point which could point to an abandonment of their religion and the desire to destroy any remains of it which is fascinating.

basically, it indicates our understanding of human progress is not as solid as many academics would like us to believe, thats all. Together with the Antikythera mechanism i think it is good evidence for the idea that progress was not this linear thing, but that relatively advanced societies existed before the norm.
