Using ratios to describe value, instead of the actual price (apmex.com), is an odd argument for silver being "this cheap in 5000 years of human history".
Hi-ho Silver, AWAY!
>Gold and silver were also exchangeable for each other. Another tablet from ancient Babylonia during the time of Nebuchadnezzer states that 5 shekels of silver were worth ½ shekel of gold. (A shekel in ancient times was a unit of weight, equivalent to about 8.33 grams.) This implies a 10:1 ratio between silver and gold.

You mister, are drunk
Or started to drink your third glass already... Now tell me how wrong I am!
