... ... begin with?
I guess one period in time that might be comparable to this scenario are the early #MiddleAges in Europe + the Mediterranean, after the breakdown of #Roman civilization, when the last educated craftsman was dead and the Germanic tribes remaining had to fend for themselves.
(another might be the breakdown of the #Mayan civilization in #Mesoamerica.)
I might be getting ahead of myself, but the clear signs are there for those who wish to see.
