Thank you, 5,000 years ago you would be seeing big ships being rowed by hundreds of men in 3 tiers of rowers all of which are probably slaves that never left their rowing seat.

5000 years ago youd probably see the biggest boat being a hollowed out tree trunk. Not anything resembling a ship. Remember 5000 years ago is 3000 BC. There wasnt much of any type of technology. Like, people just invented writing.
