"Show me your achievement, and the knowledge will give me courage for mine." -Ayn Rand

A few days ago, a friend told me about Ancient Astronaut Theory which claims that humanity was visited by Aliens in the past. These aliens are credited with helping build the pyramids among many other historical monuments. These theorists support their theory by claiming that humans could not possibly have achieved these things on their own. I could not find a worse insult for the people who toiled on the Pyramids.

So write me a poem celebrating Human achievement. A poem that declares defiantly that, though we might be smaller than ants in the face of the universe, we can, with the power of our minds, bend nature to control the whole of our world. We aren't only human, we are amazingly human.

General rules apply, and all forms are accepted. Of course by the level of achievement, I will add more points.
