I could be wrong, but it seems art is a continuation of each civilization. They might be coming to an end, but the art is still going on, being improved by later generations, e.g., I can clearly see that some patterns are passed down from here, but here probably not the sources too.

Art is the highest manifestation of a culture.
The first art was body art, dance, song… then its a representation and celebration of life and its struggles (hunting scenes) in the sanctuary of natural caves and then finally art within architectural wonders and showing geometric shapes and perspectives of human design. Each example builds on the other but it’s never truly bettered.. just maintained and evolved.
The library at Alexandria, its papyrus secrets, was a classic centralisation of knowledge, vulnerable to attack…. In contrast traditional communities may by forgotten but their influence echoes through eternity.
Maybe Bitcoin is higher art..
