How did ancient civilizations get the engineering knowledge required to build impressive structures?
In: Engineering
The thing you have to think about is humans in even the neolithic period were not actually that much different to us. They were still just as capable of figuring stuff out and using quite impressive feats of engineering.
Look at stone age tools some time. The science, skill and knowledge used to knap useful tools is a lot higher tech than people realise.
People were selecting specific rocks, they were heat treating them to get better results, they had different methods and tools depending on what they were making and the results were surprisingly effective.
Humans are amazing at just figuring shit out.
