MYTHBUSTING HISTORY (Lost Tech)

❌ Myth:

Ancient technologies vanished because people lacked intelligence.

✅ Truth:

They were secrets or victims of upheaval — Roman concrete, Damascus steel, Greek fire. Fragile knowledge, not ignorance.

Long before the web we know, Ted Nelson envisioned something grander: Project Xanadu. It was supposed to be a hypertext system that allowed two-way linking, non-destructive editing, and better citation tracking. Started in the 1960s, it aimed to revolutionize knowledge sharing. But complexity, scope creep, and funding problems meant the web beat it to the punch. Still, many of its ideas were far ahead of their time.
