After careful scientific thought I've deduced that we are a culmination of one of the following two circumstances:
1.) We were placed upon this earth by aliens, but they're not aliens from another planet, instead we ARE the aliens, and they live among us, monitoring us, watching us.
Or
2.) We're a part of the computer simulation, and God is in fact an autistic child holding a snow globe.

Ancient knowledge?

The answer to OP's question depends on how old we consider "ancient knowledge". Before the digital age, there was quite a lot of history through purposeful destruction. The Codices of the Maya were destroyed by conquistadors and approved by the Bishop of Mexico because the dude honestly thought that he could write a better version himself. The Library of Alexanderia was destroyed multiple times. During one burning, the invading general was asked what should be done with the books. According to legend, he replied, "If they disagree with our Koran, they are blasphemous. If they agree with out Koran, they are unnecessary." The civilization of the Assyrians was destroyed so completely at the Fall of Nineveh, local guides just two hundred years later were misidentifying the ruins as belonging to an entirely different culture, the Elomins. We'll never know what books and knowledge were lost when certain cities like that were so completely destroyed.
All of the ancient cities that we do know were created after the end of the last Ice Age. If city-states did exist before that, we don't know of them. The ocean levels were much lower during ice ages, so those city foundations are all currently underwater.
Going back even further, there were other species of homonids, arguably humans, who simply died out for reasons not entirely known. How much knowledge did the Neanderthals possess? Based on their tools and artwork, their knowledge was limited to primitive construction and animals, but who can really say that was the extend of their knowledge base? The Floresiensis (Hobbits) were an isolated species which was probably wiped out in a single volcano explosion which destroyed their technology along with their flesh. All we can say for certain about these sapiens is that we have evidence that they crafted with any materials more durable than themselves that we have found.
The short answer is that there was no redundancy of data in the ancient world. One natural disaster or invasion could wipe out the entire knowledge base of a region. Nobody was making backups.
Pic is not related, much like that wet ass in the OP. This joke just cracked me up when I saw it today.

It's very simple.
1. People forget things.
2. Most people are fairly ignorant.
3. At times, societies or elements of societies specifically set out to destroy all knowledge of the past (Shih Huang Ti, Muslims and Christians at the library of Alexandria, Conquistadores, and so on) that they can get their hands on.
4. Even today, uncomfortable things like pic related, are dismissed outright by modern "scientists" due to perceptual bias.

Just finished reading Fingerprint of the Gods by Graham hancock. Mind blown to say the least. I never knew any of this information.
At the end of the book there is a lot of skepticism on how Ancient civilizations could have died out due to floods, ice age, and other natural disasters. Suggesting that under the Antarctic ice there is a civilization frozen in time that could have advanced knowledge.
Its amazing humans as a species have squandered all this advanced futuristic technology and information. Just imagine the people who built the pyramids in Giza, Mexico, Nazca lines in Peru. Just amazing stuff and its all gone. Who knows what other advanced skills they had and here we are essentially starting over.
With all this evidence of ancient knowledge where did we actually come from? Who are we as homo sapiens? The theory that we evolved from apes is starting to sound far fetched.

From what I understand, we use to all be spiritually connected, even had good technology. Then some sort of blackout happened, we were disconnected from our spiritual minds, so humans had to start from scratch and adapt to using their carnal minds.

It is the concentration of loosh from everyone that see's it. Because it's posted on a popular forum, and it's a small clip you can imagine the sexual strength that single loop holds while it's there.
