Bullshit. Your
bias is showing. How could mankind have built the monumental architecture without experimentation? What about metallurgy?
What you just did there is called "Western Chauvinism".. The "West" did not "invent" the scientific method, there was "science" for thousands of years before there was modernish Europe. There are still so many "wonders" of the past that still can't be replicated today, that you sound silly. To this day, modern science can't replicate the Pyramids at Giza, or even the standing Obelisks of Aksum in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia there is the single largest piece of carved stone in the history of mankind, it is 140 feet long and weighs over 300 tons. To this day, we can not figure out how the fuck they moved it from the quarry which was 5 miles away.. To this day even with modern machinery we still couldn't move it 5 miles without destroying or fracturing it into several pieces
