    Umm, I may be wrong on this but I kind of thought the process of
    casting has been around for about 4000 years.  If you're talking
    about the process of making rubber molds, that's another story but
    I'd be hard pressed to say that the Etruscan's jewelry making skills
    plummeted after the Egyptians tried some casting.
