Scenarios about 'ancient knowledge'
Ancient knowledge refers to the wisdom, technologies, and understandings developed by early civilizations that sometimes appear surprisingly advanced for their era. This includes astronomical observations, mathematical concepts, architectural techniques, medicinal practices, and philosophical systems from cultures such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, and Mesoamerica. In alternate history scenarios, ancient knowledge often serves as a foundation for divergent technological development paths or as "lost wisdom" that, if preserved, might have dramatically altered historical trajectories.
