Welcome to Steemit. I'm sorry to hear that you needed to give up your dogs. That is a sign of true love, doing what was best for your furry friends. I am intrigued by the topic lost and forgotten knowledge. I look forward to learning more.

Glad to hear you are intrigued, that is what I am hoping to do with my blog. Raise questions, maybe provide some answers, and definitely get people thinking.
There are many sayings about history, its written by the winners, doomed to repeat it etc. Yet if these are true, why is so much knowledge lost. How can mainstream society call these cultures/peoples primitive when they were able to create/invent knowledge that we can't replicate today.
I am fond of saying that the only thing we have right about our past is that we know nothing right about our past. We used to believe that the earth was flat, now we know better. We used to believe the Earth was the centre of the universe, now we know better. The sun used to revolve around the earth and so on and so on.
So why on earth (pun intended) do we now think that we now everything and have it correct? What will peoples 1,000 years from now look back on and wonder how we could have ever thought such stupid things and yet at the same time marvel at some invention we have left behind.
Anyways, there's plenty of time for my ramblings later. Thanks for your comment
I agree that our understanding of things is always changing. Modern medicine is an example, science has advanced how illness are treated. But, it lacks the holistic approach of many traditional medicine practices.
