At one time the human race was knowledgeable enough to construct the Antikythera Mechanism, but 200 years after it was made Jesus was born and started a major world religion, and 630 years after Jesus Mohamed was born and started another major world religious; and by the time Mohamed died we'd lost over 90% of our smarts. Actually there is some truth in what you say, certainly during Mohamed's lifetime nobody on the planet knew how to make something like the Antikythera Mechanism, a device that was made nearly a thousand years before. I said it before I'll sat it again, religion makes people stupid.
