Fallacy

Reading my intro to psychology book i stumbled upon an article about common fallacies in regards to evolutionary psychology and genetics.
Naturalistic fallacy - assumption that what nature does is moral and good and should be kept that way(like survival of the fittest, social Darwinism, etc.)
Predeterministic fallacy - assumption that genetic composition of human being directly influences behavior.

Reading this article made me realize another fallacy, common among spiritual seekers. I will call it Ancient Wisdom fallacy - assumption that what is old is wiser and truer then the new philosophies. For example people always look at ancient religious texts for wisdom and truth. They assume people in the past somehow knew better. I think this trend can be linked to the conditioning by our culture equating wisdom with age. When we say wisdom, an image of bearded men sitting in thinker position come to mind. Movies also had a role in this with all the fiction about mysteries of the past, especially Egypt. Depicting ancient Egypt as a land of Wisdom and artifacts and sacred knowledge.
