Peter kingsley talks about this in both reality and a story that will pierce where you dive deep into the hidden connection between Pythagoreans and mystical traditions leading back to the mountains of Tibet.

The teachings of Falan Dafa also discusses this claiming that the earth and human civilizations has gone through cycles of destruction and renewal with the last period occuring in the time of the ice age where a small surviving group of mystics in Tibetan mountains managed to survive which matches up with the flood stories across cultures and recent scientific discoveries outlined by people like Graham Handcock.

I don't think you need big cycles of destruction and renewal like those guys claims. Perfect example was what happened in Europe when the western roman empire disintegrated.

The whole knowledge transfer chain from master to student got disrupted. So much so that the institutional knowledge base got eroded and people forgot how to do/maintain products. Maybe because you a cluster of smaller empires no one could finance those prestige projects, without those big projects the knowledge transfer chain will also be disrupted.

This me just thinking up loud and accepting the shit I learned 10~15 years ago and haven't used in a long time have simple been forgotten. Human memory is extremely fragile, so the invention of paper must have been super important to keep those knowledge transfer chain going over the millennia.
