HEY. HOLD ON. ANCIENT TIMES DOESNOT MEAN ONLY LAST 2000 years or so. The universe is coming since ages, which spans across millions of years. The entire creation goes on in cycles from being very intelligent like everyone in the world at that time having higher level of enlightment and then moving in to ignorant levels and then again in to the enlightened stages. The cycle is divided into an Ascending Arc and a Descending Arc, each of 12,000 years. Within each Arc fall four Yugas or Ages, called Kali, Dwapara, Treta, and Satya, corresponding to the Greek ideas of Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Golden Ages.
The above is an excerpt from the "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda. here are acclaims for this book from all over the world - http://www.crystalclarity.com/yogananda/chap16.html
Search for the word Yuga and you will get the exact breakdown of these evolutionary cycles of life in endless cycle of divine drama.
WHEN IN DOUBT, SEEK THE SUPPORT OF THE ENLIGHTENED PEOPLE AND THIS IS WHAT MY INTUTION SAYS. AND HERE IS THE ANSWER FROM THE ENLIGHTENED SAINT THAT THE WEST IS UNDENIABLY SAYING IS THE AMBASSADOR OF THE INDIAN SPIRITUALITY TO THE WORLD. THINK ABOUT IT DEAR FRIEND.

MORE ON EVOLUTION OF LIFE IN CYCLES IN EARTH:
My guru determined by various calculations that the last Kali Yuga or Iron Age, of the Ascending Arc, started about A.D. 500. The Iron Age, 1200 years in duration, is a span of materialism; it ended about A.D. 1700. That year ushered in Dwapara Yuga, a 2400-year period of electrical and atomic-energy developments, the age of telegraph, radio, airplanes, and other space-annihilators.
The 3600-year period of Treta Yuga will start in A.D. 4100; its age will be marked by common knowledge of telepathic communications and other time-annihilators. During the 4800 years of Satya Yuga, final age in an ascending arc, the intelligence of a man will be completely developed; he will work in harmony with the divine plan.
A descending arc of 12,000 years, starting with a descending Golden Age of 4800 years, then begins5 for the world; man gradually sinks into ignorance. These cycles are the eternal rounds of maya, the contrasts and relativities of the phenomenal universe.6 Man, one by one, escapes from creation's prison of duality as he awakens to consciousness of his inseverable divine unity with the Creator.

Evolution is cyclical. In those days, people were of high calible, in which they used to do more things with more power by way of realizing that Body is less powerful than Mind and mind is less pwoerful than Soul. This is similar to we giving more value to a person who uses his mind rather than mere body for his work.
At that time, people were of higher capacity than the current times. Since it is cyclical, what appears now as a magic will appear later a normal thing. Similarly, what appears now a normal thing will later apear as a magic or miracle. but, those who can take off the veil of maya and see will be able to understand the overall picture clearly.
