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
