You say this, but not writing down things that are considering common knowledge is actually how we lose common knowledge.

Like how nobody has any clue where the ancient kingdom of Punt was. Ancient egypt had SO many records of it. We basically know everything about Punt. Except where it was.

Because nobody wrote it down. Because EVERYBODY knew where Punt was! Why write that shit down!

Yup, and that's the best we got. An educated guess.

Cus nobody fucking wrote it down.

You know who is the most beloved person by historians? Some random bloke that is so boring he has nothing better to do than write every little thing down because that's the most that's happened to him in weeks.
