Did we actually lose the technology/skill to make things like Damascus steel, Ulfberht swords, Greek fire, Stradivari violins, Roman concrete, Antikythera mechanisms, "flexible glass" and so on or is this just the result of inaccurate clickbait articles? Has there been any succes in recreating some?
