Maybe.

I mean, it is possible there's lost arts and lost knowledge.

But it has to be something we're missing.

It just, like, when you look at the structures we're building now, it's nowhere close to some of these historic buildings and megalithic structures, you know?

Yeah, maybe.

But I mean, imagine some of the stuff we've done, like the Panama Canal or Hoover Dam.

Like if you showed that to ancient peoples, would they have believed that this could happen?

Good point.

There's this large millennia of distance between their knowledge and cultures and materials that we have and they don't have.

Good point.

This comes into play with stuff in the Bible, for example, the Ark.

The ark is generally seen as a laughing point for Christianity.

You idiots believe that there was this boat floating around with giraffes sticking their heads out.

They made fun of it in the Young Sheldon show.

He stumped the preacher.

It's a famous scene.

And then we come to find out that the dimensions for the ark given in the Bible, not in the Epic of Gilgamesh, because that's a cube.

Those don't float, are barge-like.

It's designed not to go anywhere, but it's designed not to sink.

The actual dimensions are just like a modern-day barge.
