Right now if we lost the grid and sooner or later all the “batteries” died would we be in the stone age? Absolutely... We would be starting from scratch and I really do think it has happened before. This is why monasteries all over the world tried to document knowledge and pass it on. This knowledge was destroyed on purpose. Can you just imagine what knowledge from the REAL past was stored at the Library of Alexandria alone before it was destroyed for RELIGIOUS reasons same as the monasteries?
I think there may have been MANY civilizations that preexisted what we think we know now... Back hundreds of thousands of years. Definitely before the last ice age. Most of the megalithic structures were discovered after the global reset by those who are credited for building them. They did not... They came along and found them later, thousands of years later.
Not even close.
Even if 99% of the population died off, the remaining 1% would have all the skills, knowledge and material to rebuild technological society.
The survivors would be living in a golden age for a couple of hundred years.
The U.S. went from horses to landing on the moon in far less than one hundred years, and they had to invent the technology (along with the rest of Western Civilization).
The survivors would have all the knowledge they needed, and huge amounts of technology already in place.
So do the Amish live in the stone age?
