That doesn't change the fact that a bunch of cave dwellers had some pretty savage and uncivilized ideas (though more appropriate in their time) about right, wrong and morality and wrote them down in books.

This is true. But in 1,000 years some of the things we see as right today will almost definitely be seen as barbaric and wrong. More than likely we too will be seen as savages and not just for our lack of technology.
