I'm not sure about this, for example, everyone who has eyes can see the first 6 planets in our solar system and their movements, so it's not that spectacular to think that some Indians managed it as well as all the other ancient people who were studying the sky too.
Also, I hope you're right about humans having to work less and having more time, but unfortunately, this myth has been around since the industrial revolution nearly 200 years ago. People just move into other work, for example, look at all the millions of lost souls in the 21st century sitting in front of computer screens all day, what a miserable existence. Similar to Charlie Chaplains idea of automation 100 years ago nearly, in the film 'Modern Times', its a nice idea, but I think humans will give in to machines in a similar way to what is shown in the film Terminator.

Hi @justinchicken, You are right about the planets being observable by naked eyes. If I remember it right, it is 5 planets and not 6. Being observable and describing their characteristics matching the present day astronomy are not the same. For the sake of completeness and clarity I should have said that they described 7 planets (only 5 are observable with the naked eye) in detail matching the present day astronomy. It is my error. Apologies.
As for the issue on "humans having to work less and having more time" I did preface the section of the article with the qualification "Pure speculations - take it with a grain of salt". Perhaps you missed reading that.
Actually I thought about writing something along the lines you wrote but then decided that it will be the same old rote line everybody takes and decided to write something different for fun and preface it with the qualification.
Anyway thanks for dropping by. Much appreciated.
