Then goes onto things like Greek fire and color changing roman glass. I know plenty about greek fire but first heard about the special glass |
And he has a point there. Probably most of us who aren't into history think that things progress more or less. I also get into this thinking again and again, although I already know better. I know that the breakdown of the roman empire was happening together with a loss of technological knowledge and things getting more and more localized known, the exchange of information broke down. This lead to the dark ages for about 1000 years until things started to get back to the technological level that once was there. I think that is why the renaisance was a thing, because people back then realized they just got to the level that was reached once before.
We should know from history that civilizations can fall down. We shouldn't think we are immune.
