The knowledge of the ancient people has been lost then found again then lost and so on . Civilization before us had great knowledge about universe , just looking with eyes . Today we have technology and we progress slightly compered with old ways . How is that possible ?

That is a profound question. In my response to @kyriacos I criticised intellectual chauvinism. I might be more precise and criticise modern intellectual chauvinism that regards the ancients as little more than neo-apes, far below us on the evolution chain. The more I learn about what they thought about and how they approached problems, the more I am impressed; and the more I realise how much of what we have is built upon their shoulders. thanks for your ongoing interest!
