>Four procedure texts, most likely written in Babylon between 350 and 50 BCE, reveal that Babylonian astronomers computed the distance traveled by Jupiter from the area of a figure representing a graph of its changing daily displacement (velocity) against time. Historians of science thus far thought that this type of geometrical representation and computation of motion, well known to modern students of physics, was invented in the fourteenth century AD. As it now appears, Babylonian astronomers already came up with a very similar idea.

I know this is a meme, but because so many spergs here seem to bite let me explain: They collapsed for the same reason every highly advanced and specialized civilization has collapsed so far. Something happened, that disrupted their system and people needed to fight for their survival again. Since surviving in nature without a nanny state isn't easy, especially not when many more people are suddenly in the same situation, they couldn't preserve their knowledge and built up again, after the situation normalized. The same will happen to us, once global trade breaks down for whatever reason.
