I think that you missed my bit about someone in the future going back in time to show them how to do it. Just because AFAIK nobody today knows how to do it, doesn't mean that someone tomorrow will not know.

Whilst most people think that ancient civilizations did not have the knowledge that people of today have, they could in fact have been more knowledgeable. For all we know mankind could have eminated from another galaxy and somehow got stranded here or some calamity could have wiped out a previous civilization.

We can only judge things by our current knowledge which may very well be very limited. Many of the things that we take for granted today could hardly have been imagined possible in the lifetime of some people alive today. What might be classed as cutting edge technology today may be thought of as very primitive in a hundred years time. Time travel may become a possibility in the future of some people alive today. The question is how will that affect the past?
