I'd say you lost ownership of the knowledge much the same way you lost ownership of the gold. Once they had it, it was called "theirs"...

It all started with the Sumarians
One thing I picked up on reading history is something of significance that was on the table if a peace was being negotiated was who got to have the churches, or so I believe, why? Well I expect they were cash cows back then unlike these days...10 % of your income plus other special collections...and how convenient and managable .once a week every week plus special holy days...
The Sumarians had Adam and the garden, the flood plus lots of other stuff found in later religious texts...I sometimes feel they are not put up for education as current religions would not be found to be original.
AND History...thats what I am talking about and not religion...you cant utter a word in history without touching on religion..it is central to our development really... And who invented history.. we learn so much from seeing how civilization after civilization rises and disappears ... When will it happen to us?
