The ArkOf Forgotten Knowledge

Rediscover the art of how things work

We are launching soon

Securing old school skills for the freedom of generations.

There is a wealth of knowledge left abandoned, forgotten and fading on bookshelves, in boxes and in archives. A wealth of mastery destined to silently vanish as humanity accelerates rapidly toward greater ignorance and blind dependence on modern technology and those who own it.

What's the big deal?It's all online and tech is just convenient!Right!?

Or is it?! And are you just being dumbed down?

How long can you rely on Siri, Alexa and 'Hey Google', or Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Kimi, Perplexity or others to tell you everything you need and want to know and do?

And how do you know you can trust it? An answer is only as good as what fed it, and what feeds it is whatever was published, optimised and promoted hardest. Somebody paid for the study behind it. You are not told who.

Twenty things most people handed over

Open any card to see how it was done before.

A road atlas in the glovebox, and you learned the route before you left.
You knew the ones that mattered by heart, and you held more of them than most people do now.
A rank, a raised hand, or a number kept by the phone.
A folded paper timetable in your pocket, and the board at the station.
Distance, average speed, and an estimate you learned to trust.
You telephoned and spoke to someone, or you walked in and asked.
A counter, a conversation, and a printed map handed over with the keys.
The sky, the barometer, and what the wind had been doing since morning.
A handwritten card, a stained cookbook, or your grandmother.
What was in the cupboard, and what you remembered making yourself.
A manual, a neighbour who had done it before, and a willingness to take the thing apart.
You listened to it, you smelled it, and you opened it up and looked.
A dictionary, and you found four other words on the way.
The listings page, a poster on a wall, or a friend who had already been.
An encyclopaedia set on a shelf, the public library, or ask your grandparents.
What your family had always eaten, and what your body told you afterwards.
Someone older than you, who had treated it before.
In your head, or on the back of an envelope.
You read it aloud, and you knew when it was wrong.
A library, a catalogue drawer, and an afternoon you had set aside for it.

Or what about call a loved one or close friend. Do you remember their number or do you rely on your phone's contact database?

Imagine life without Internet search engines or any voice activated AI mobile, or home, assistant.

Are you prepared for any scenario where you are denied access to these information services indefinitely?

We take many fundamental things for granted. So many everyday processes are controlled by computers. But when systems fail, who has the knowledge to fill the void that is left?!

If the convenience of modern information technology were to fall away how well will you be able to respond to the challenges you face?

Inside The Ark of Forgotten Knowledge

You Get Access to a Wealth of Experience

No matter what your motivation is the Ark of Forgotten Knowledge has a library of experienced based knowledge for you to learn, put into action and assimilate. We have compiled a comprehensive catalogue of books, many dating back a more than a century, that cover an extensive range of topics to help you as an individual, a family and a community to learn and grow.

The Ark has been constructed over decades, compiling old books from across the world that document real knowledge and real experience. Some texts are more than a hundred years old, some are several hundred years old. The same technology that was used to build civilisations, the first industrial revolution and beyond.
