I’m increasingly convinced the ancients did not think of, or experience, time the way we do, as a kind of one-way street spatial dimension. It was a flux with a material quality. Like a river flowing through you. Or like weather.

The writer is deliberately whimsical and annoying, but there's something really powerful underneath it. The civilization of time might be more dramatic/significant than the civilization of space. Maybe I should write an essay

But yes, your suspicion is correct and a long tradition of arguing that. Most strongly in Time Wars by Rifkin (way more polemical than Griffiths)
