The technique of making concrete was known to the Romans, then "lost" for hundreds of years.There is also a flesh tone color in stained glass that has been lost. It's like Granny's muffins you remember from your childhood but she took the recipe to her grave and no one has been able to make them since. Things are lost or forgotten every day.
