A woman cooked the family ham the same way every year – she cut the top off of it, put the special family recipe dry rub on it, cooked it in the oven and it was perfect every time. She had watched her mother when she was growing up and knew the routine well.
One year, she visited her elderly mother and said, “mom, I was just curious, why does your ham recipe taste so good because you cut the top off?”
The mother laughed. “Child, I cut the top off the ham because it didn't fit into our oven.”

If an ancient homo sapiens found a computer, he might use it as a table. He did not earn the earlier knowledge that led up to the ability to make a computing device that is electronic. We did not earn the basic earth knowledge our much earlier evolved cousins did. Our “Native” People found monuments and saw the giants interact with “magical skills” and did not know anything other than to try and imitate round rock structures and perhaps if we were lucky, the would emit sound and create situations. We were playing with toys that a culture that was hundreds of thousands of years ahead of us understood the basics of. In other words, we missed Earth Basics 101 courses.
That's it in a nutshell.
We didn't earn the knowledge. Kind of like you and I using computers and driving cars that we do not understand how they were built or how they work. If they broke down and those with knowledge of how they work were long gone, we would be screwed.
We never lost ancient knowledge, it was never ours.

I somewhat disagree. I believe WE HAD THE KNOWLEDGE but either nature took it away from us or else, we took it away from ourselves.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_destroyed_libraries
This webpage shows that conquering armies come in and wipe out the libraries of the fallen. It has happened over and over. And then again, in a case like the fabled ATLANTIS it was destroyed by “sinking into the sea.”
As an avid genealogist you don’t know how many of my family lines I cannot trace because the “records” were burned by various fires. Court records are the most often zapped. That is tax records, land records, vital statistics, etc. Else the records like the 1890 Federal Census IS COMPLETELY GONE because of the fire in Wash DC.
Ancestry.com states of the 1890 fire:
1890 Census Fire
“Some said it was a cigarette. Some said it was a conspiracy. But no one really knows for sure what started the fire on January 10, 1921, that destroyed a large portion of the 1890 U.S. federal census.
What everyone agrees on is this: it was a tragedy of immense proportion.
The census, with critical historical information on more than 6 million people in the U.S., was being stored in the basement of the United States Commerce Department. The other census records were inside a fire- and water-proof vault when the flames started, but the 1890 census was sitting just outside its protective walls.
Firemen rushed to the scene to put the fire out, but what wasn’t already destroyed by fire and smoke was drowned in water: 25 % was said to have been destroyed by the flames; 50 % by the smoke and water that followed it.
And what happened to the remaining 25 %? Most of it was shuffled around from place to place until it was finally destroyed in the 1930s. ”

Most of the time family records (and governmental records) are just THROWN AWAY because the surviving members of the family don’t care about family history or the massive amount of research that has been done to secure the family records.
NO, WE ARE OUR OWN BIGGEST ENEMY/PROBLEM. We destroy our heritage to make room for our new toys and gadgets.
