Civilizations get destroyed periodically.

There was a series of catastrophes of cosmological origin, mainly changes of planetary orbits and their effects just few centuries ago. Massive earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tsunamis, oceans water level rose, debris from comets was falling and they themselves scorched the Earth, creating the Sahara, and Earth was a victim of tremendous electrical discharges (Grand Canyon was created by one of these discharges as well as The Richat Structure etc) of celestial origin. Before these disasters Sahara was green and full of cities. After that disaster world-wide civilizations descended into chaos, and reset took at least few generations, during which newly created Catholic Church emerged as the leader of new power-structures, and they artificially injected into official historical chronology ~1000 phantom years (that's why there is supposed 1000 years of the Dark Ages - claim that Europe was stuck in the same place) partially to cover up catastrophes. The word "Bishop" itself means "the one who knows the stars/sky/heavens". The "Renaissance" was in reality just re-building of pre-disaster [disaster means "falling star" (comet)] Roman civilization, which ended in ~5th century AD when disasters happened world-wide destroying existing power-structures of the world reducing people to savagery and leading to most of them becoming illiterate after few generations, then - when situation stabilized - the rebuilding started. Look at work of Piranesi, study old maps and books - it's all there. We went from ~5th century AD straight to ~15th AD with 1000 years in-between that never existed. Pompeii was still existing just ~5 centuries ago, as well Pliny the Elder who was killed when he went so see himself the Vesuvius eruption that destroyed Pompeii. Even the culture and clothes during the end of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance were very similar and right before the Renaissance pagan Roman "gods" and their icons were still dominating.
