Its awesome yes, but also - horrific in a way. I felt that way in italy. Everywhere you went, some master painter, artisan or historic figure went before you, all you ever did was but a footnote in history compared to the aeons gone before.
It creates this mindset of golden-ageism, where you expect everything to be already done, everything to be discovered and all of it, just some library lookup away.
