People think "the ancients were so wise and knew so much" is a meme from the Late Bronze Age Collapse.

In the 12th century BC, you had in the eastern mediterranean:
>drought
>famine
>series of earthquakes
>volcanic eruption
>tidal wave
>massive wars
>(((the sea peoples)))
In 1300 BC, there was a massive group of advanced, highly complex, Bronze Age civilizations in the Levant connected by a massive trade network. In 1100 BC there were a bunch of small, early iron age backwaters whose inhabitants lived with memories of hugely complex civilizations devastated by catastrophes and glorious wars amid the literal ruins.

The ancients didn't know much that we don't know now except about their own lives and histories. They did know a lot more than the poor people living after the bronze age collapse.

They knew their languages a bit better than we do, but that's about it.

Death. That's the thing we lost.

You mean the, it was a papyrus holder not a battery, argument?

Lots of things
>stoneworking to incredible precision in some cases
>concrete that doesn’t erode in Saltwater
>Greek Fire: a material that’s pretty much napalm
>waterproofing
>electricity??
>somebody with flying machines clearly visited the Hindu??
>how to lock a door using sound waves

Then there’s all the other stuff that we’ll never fucking know about because all documentation has been destroyed
>the burning of the library at Alexandria
>the sacking of Byzantium
>book burnings
>some shit was just plain lost
>nobody remembers x language
>they’re all dead
Then there’s places like turquoise mountain that only have a single pillar to mark that they were there.
