    I've seen this NOVA special and it is indeed fascinating. But let us
    not forget about all the other cultures and countless "old timers"
    out there who knew a lot of shop secrets which they took to their
    graves. I try to make a practice of collecting old technical books
    with their archaic content within which are buried a few diamonds. We
    should all learn a lesson from this show - don't be afraid to
    experiment, and keep good notes to preserve your knowledge for the
    future. And don't forgot to save other's old works even if you will
    never use it, as it will be of use to someone someday. 

    I have solved many problems by using unique solutions from old
    books, or by applying the old knowledge and sound chemistry or
    physics principles to solve the problem and create my own piece of
    past (yet to be discovered in the future).
