Jesus that’s depressing. Thank god for the Internet or wonder how much of that 87% would already be lost forever.
Think of everything lost from even recent eras without the internet! Like 99% of what we've made, even in the domain of awesome impactful stuff, must have been lost to time
A lot of it got lost because we invented newer technologies, sure we can't work stone with the same methods the ancients used to but that's because we have bolts, steel, and concrete now.
colonialism also destroyed millions of art/literature
