Indeed, an enormous body of scientific knowlege has been lost over the centuries. Things have been repeatedly discovered and forgotten again many times. Wars, conquest, revolutions and all the destruction it entails didn’t help matters, either. Such as the destruction of the anchient library of Alexandria, Egypt.

Many of these civilizations of antiquity were far more advanced than modern people give them credit for. So that archaeologists are constantly astounded by new discoveries about the anchient world that prove otherwise. Such as the art of Egyptian beer making that is equivalent to any modern commercial brand of beer. Or evidence of electric batteries and possibly an Egyptian lightbulb (long before Edison’s time ! ! !), or how about a Greek navigational computer full of gears almost as sophisticated as a Swiss watch ?

Not all the anchients were ignorant or dumb. Not any more than some individuals today. It would indeed be arrogant to think otherwise.
