nostr:npub1rjht784gdu2rah59343hft44lpn0n5q6nnd0ga9e9xwtdw0jn3tq5zuefa That explanation is peak Orient. Their minds just work differently from Westerners, for better or worse.

On one hand they'll say "Sheikah technology disappeared and no one thought to research the matter further", meanwhile you run into many archæologists obsessed with the Zonai, Gerudo and Goron lore. And the Sheikah are helping research the ring ruins and not a single albino Jap mentions their ancestors or the machines they built.

Not to mention the gigantic shrine rooms, which are no more... the empty space filled with dirt? There were four millions Sheikah shrines in Hyrule. In Tears of the Kingdom, 5 million disappeared. What happened to the remaining 3 million shrines is a mystery. :merchant_cry:

To the Oriental mind, this is no issue.
