My theory is that we've had this stuff much, much, much longer than that. Possibly thousands of years, and that civilization gets "reset" every couple hundred years.
Think about it for a bit. Every major invention seemed to have happened in the past couple hundred years. Yet nothing modern could possibly make the pyramids, as the most obvious example. Where is that tech?
Most of our conversations right now are on digital media. This thread right here, and my post responding to it, are on digital media. If the internet goes down permanently, this section of history will be mostly as well. Gone, except in books and memories.
If there is a major fallout that kills 95% of humanity, and the rest are busy trying to survive and repopulate, then within just a few generations it'll be a whole new batch of people to give tech to and let them think they invented it themselves. A new cycle.
How would we ever know? How would future generations know? Even if we printed this entire thread out, what are the chances it gets into the hands of someone 500 years later after civilization has collapsed and the cycle renewed yet again? Future generations will think they invented the internet, just like we currently believe we invented the internet less than 50 years ago. But none of this internet will make it into theirs 500 years from now.
EDIT: Look up OOParts on your favorite search engine. Leads credibility to this theory.
We can't build the old church's either. We are a traumatized civilization of a past reset. It seems like it may have happened in the late 1700's or early 1800's. Towns and buildings are founded and orphans were called foundlings.

Yes!
lol the history is available, if you know where to look. this kind of speculation is not necessary or helpful.
We know they rewrite history, he’s just taking it a step further than the norm.
Backup offline.
These is very little downside to more people doing it.
a step further into fiction 🙄
But how do you know? Because someone else told you? How do you really know?
I don’t see anything wrong with this kind of speculation absent hard evidence. Why don’t you tell us where to look, since apparently you know?
seek, and ye shall find
If any man ask thee to walk with him a mile, walk with him two.
Pay up dude. Don’t come on here saying you got super secret info and not share it. That’s so gay.
