its fucked up to me how, like, we as a humanity can forget how to make shit. like how the west forgot how to make glass or some shit for a while.
nobody knows the exact way of creating lots of ancient stuff; greek fire and damascus steel are really well known examples, and material scientists are still studying roman cement because it’s better than modern cement
isnt that so fucked up
I blame the burning of the library of alexandria. The library probably had the answer to everything BUT THEY FUCKING BURNED IT DOWN AND THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS
