Oh, but there are things that seem to be lost, unfortunately. The one that springs to mind is how they watered the hanging gardens of Babylon, but there are others I've also seen, such as techniques for certain kinds of constructions, many kinds of arts and crafts, and so forth.
Some things can be reconstructed or learned anew, sure. Perhaps some of it is genetic memory (I believe such a thing is possible).
I would actually like to be less cynical about the evolution of humanity. As I've said, I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to live to see humanity have a big spiritual awakening or similar. It's something to hope for, but I don't see much hope for it, personally.
