Of course the old Egyptians, Babylonians, Stonehengers and every 
culture known or unknown were as INTELLIGENT as present day 
humankind, they induced, deduced, conceived, calculated and built 
complicated edifices without having the faintest INTELLECTUAL 
knowledge that this was "theoretical planning", "deductive thinking". 
Also, without the least knowledge of hypotenuses, legs and squares 
upon these, they applied all geometrical relationships on to their work.

Where did Pirsig ask this?  I don't doubt it, but would like to know the 
context.
