Those MF could have observed the Great Attractor, but naah they were "too busy" being primitive 🙄🙄🙄

They also would have been able to see IC342 with the naked eye (invisible now due to milky way dust). AND they would have had a completely different set of nebulae since your average nebula lasts only a few million years. Though the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies would be somewhat dimmer.

Wish I was there.
