Why are there so many ancient inventions that cannot be properly explained using current science?

There are many ancient Chinese technologies that modern science and technology can't explain, such as the construction of the building of the "construction method style", the book records a lot of engineering technology, but modern technology can't figure out the specific methods recorded, not to mention the restoration of the matter. Engineering deduction, if you can restore the ancient technology, its structure is certainly more complex than modern buildings; in metallurgy, there is a Yue Wang sword is quite amazing, compared to modern stainless steel technology is estimated to be slightly better than the former. It has lasted for thousands of years without rusting or rotting, and it is very sharp, sharpening iron like mud. There is also the famous Simusu square tripod, its weight is so huge, and is a product of bronze, and is now not sure of the ancient people with what kind of method of manufacturing.

The most intriguing is the textile world of the veil Zen clothes, when the society put this kind of thin as a cicada wing silk fabric exactly how to produce, now there is no way to know. There are also many historical mysteries that even modern technology can't explain. Perhaps some aspects of ancient technology have surpassed modern techniques, and for modern times, so many things have emerged as new alternatives that they won't do research on the past because there is no longer any practical value; or perhaps it's simply not possible to figure out the materials and processes used in the technology at that time, and this is mainly due to the fact that the language used in the documents is different from that of modern times.

The value of studying these things lies in: first, to satisfy the curiosity and desire for knowledge of modern people, but also to make the original face of history clearer; second, the study of these technologies is related to some of the macro-academic problems can be solved; third, it is helpful to us to understand the objective law of scientific development, whether it is the development of the spiral or the evolution of the ups and downs in order to clarify these issues, it is necessary to study some of the civilization technology, the development of the technology. In order to figure out these issues, it will have to do a detailed study of certain civilization technology.
