Ancient Astronomy as it pertains to Aneristic Illusions

Upon reading a discussion about Ancient Astronomy, I noticed a pattern that seems to corelate with Aneristic Illusions, which seems to be a disillusionment the status quo's narrative of steady historical progress and limited early capabilities.

The progression from cave people to modern people was not linear as we have all been brought up to believe. Real history shows repeated cycles of building knowledge, losing it, rediscovering it, and developing in different directions at different times and places. This seems to vibe super well with the concept of Aneristic Illusion.


Timeline:

Prehistoric (~10,000 – 3000 BCE)
>Stone Henge

Ancient (~3000 – 500 BCE)
>Antikythera Mechanism
>Mesopotamian and Egyptian

Global Empires (~300 BCE – 500 CE)
>Alexander the Great
>The Roman Empire

Islamic Golden Age (~800 – 1500 CE)
>Dark Ages

Renaissance (1500 – 1800 CE)
>Rediscovery of Greek and Roman knowledge

Modern Era (1800 – Today)
>Mass literacy
>Cumulative scientific methods


Within this chaos, seems to be a pattern of order that was not purely accidental. The entire time, the farming, agricultural class, was forced to adhere to the religiously aligned scholarly class which would tell them when to plant and when to harvest, else they would plant too early and wait too late to harvest.

I speculate that the systems and methods of such, at some point, went from a benevolent anarchistic collaboration to flat out being a mass global control and enslavement scheme between the ancient era and the era of mass conquest.

It seems like we are still enslaved to such a system today, as the trade secrets are the number one top priority of federal and international law enforcement. We commoners may know outlandishly more than the feudal peasants of the past, but our academic resources are still locked behind massive pay walls, and access to such material is highly controlled and monitored.

The novel concept that I will take the social risk of arguing here is that has never changed in the last 10,000 years, and much of the class structures from then still remain in one form or another. The more our elite scholars learn, the more they allow to trickle down on the lower class.

Currently, Islam censors any history contradictory to their religious beliefs, and that has been occurring since Mohammed himself most likely caused the dark ages.

Before the dark ages, empires controlled the flow of knowledge, until the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. These non-interesting parts of History between the well documented established orders contained unbroken lineages of familial bloodlines and religious orders which absolutely kept secrets from the rest of us.
Notice that you spend very little time engaging people who already agree with you, but you'll spend countless hours trying to correct nit wits. Why?
