Sorry, but I was a bit misleading in my comment when I mentioned 'western society'It is not the fact that people seem surprised by the level of sophistication of 'non-western' societies, but of all 'ancient' societies. Apologies for the misunderstanding

Damn straight. Will is the man. Although batting monsters with a flute is kind of odd if you ask me..... He must have extreme strength to be able to kill them with it so easily.
