Well, there’s a big reason for this that I’m sure the creator of this video must have run across while (hopefully) researching some of these points. This is idiotic click bait.

I don’t think I really need to, but go search around.
Big difference between an insular culture not sharing their technology of the time and just hoarding it libraries because of religion, having no scientific process, and poor documentation between generations VS the goal of an entire culture disseminating scientific information with documentation and peer review. One will be more widely known than the other.
Just because Anthropology has been able to define that one culture or another knew about something at one point in time or another doesn’t change what the current definitions or well-known terms used to define it are.
The poster in the video (sorry if that’s you) also doesn’t mention the fact that Mesolithic societies knew a number of these things, they just didn’t document much. Mesopotamian writings were some of the first to do so, and the poster even flashes some Cuneiform tablets in his video, which proves that point, I just don’t think he realized what they were 🤣
This video is attempting to make it seem like there is some nefarious means behind hiding all of this or whatever due to some culture washing which is dumb as hell.
Good example: “Why don’t we call Band-Aids by their original name, HUH??? The Egyptians did bandages first durrrrrrr”
