Do you think we(human race) have lost significant knowledge/technology at one point or another?

The tv is on in the other room and I heard them talking about the library at Alexandria that burnt, and it made me think about it. I think so, especialy when you look at engineering marvels like pyramids, Stone henge etc.
 
Absolutely. Alexandria is a good example. Another one would be what happened to Europe after Rome fell and it descended into the Dark Ages.

Shades of the vimana !!

Mr. Cremo spends his life ferreting out and presenting hard evidence in support of your OP thesis. Search on Ask.com or Amazon.com for more.
That's the one I read a few years ago.

The vimana are cited in ancient Vedic writings as flying machines of that day, perhaps a few thousand B.C. Not saying I believe that, but that's what it means.

 
I think it's cooler back in the days when they don't have any electronic machines yet still can build crazy stuff.
 
yeah, they called them "the dark ages" for a reason and it wasn't because <insert funny joke here>

... your mom was blocking out the sun in the eastern hemisphere.
 
If the library of Alexandria wasn't destroyed, none of us would be here, because the likelihood of every event since then playing out so that sperm could fertilize that egg would be 0.

Edit: Not just your parents' gametes, but the ones that produced them, their parents, and every ancestor.
 
Any time a major organised religion has invaded another country or culture they have destroyed dozens or hundreds of years of scientific and technological progress and held back several more decades. We are still to this day seeing Christians holding back such research as stem cell research, and imagine how powerful a scientific region the middle east could be if there was no religion and therefore no large-scale proliferation of anti-Western sentiment.
 
Many artifacts and documents were lost when the jewish temple was destroyed by the romans in AD70, I believe we would find fragments of these (possibly even the ark of the covenant or the 10 commandments stone tablets) were we to excavate the area beneath the muslim dome.
 
Pfff... no!

They didn't even have computers or engines... how could they do anything?

Stonehenge is nothing but a few rocks placed on end, and the pyramids are a bigger version of kids playing with blocks.
 
Library of Alexandria fiasco set us back a millennium or so.

There are scattered records for a steam engine design from there. Can only imagine what else was in that monstrous place.

Thank ceaser... the fvcking horny idiot.
 
i've read and watched a lot about history and i always think of stuff like this.
just think of all the civilizations that we don't know about because they were destroyed by another.

who knows who or what was out there that isn't out there any more.
