Is there anything more important than older, synthetic geometry?

In all seriousness, understanding the Tenth book of Euclid's Elements, and much of Archimedes' works requires a great deal of cognitive thought and comprehension. Who are you to disparage these mathematical works simply because of their date?

Is there any reason to be too focused on contemporary mathematics, when there are concepts and ideas to explore in other, more creative, areas.
