Even on shorter timescales, there are 100+ ton milled monoliths all over the world, which are seemingly 4000+ years years old. Yet the civilizations of 4000 years ago don’t seem to have known how to mill such stones. It probably wasn’t until the 19th century at the earliest that we “re-learned” the basic skills required.
My default assumption is that history has only picked up, at best, the latter cycles on big time scales.

- erikpukinskis 8y agoI just watch a lot of Brian Foerster videos on YouTube e.g. https://youtu.be/AGBOf8mrWjs https://youtu.be/AGBOf8mrWjs Baalbek is a good place to see 1000+ ton milled stones: https://youtu.be/jo-oEk8itlo https://youtu.be/jo-oEk8itlo Cuzco also seems to have some pre-Inca constructions that can’t be explained: https://youtu.be/66x9VLwZaDQ https://youtu.be/66x9VLwZaDQ
