Imagine the vast amount of knowledge that was housed in the great Library of Alexandria, none of which was saved from the fires of war.

Or the incredible books of the Mayans and other inhabitants of the Americas that were burned by Spanish invaders.

We've progressed as a species in fits and starts. We could be so much more advanced if our knowledge had come in an uninterrupted stream.

No doubt. I would love for lost books from Alexandria to be foumd somehow. There is no telling the vast amount of knowledge lost.

Wait... I thought you saw religious dogma as some type of burden? What exactly do you think was/is in Mayan codices?
