I'm sure you all know what a savant is, but we're learning more and more about what is known as Acquired Savant Syndrome, and those are for the people that have had something medically go wrong with them like a stroke or other near-death experiences. Wtih the biggest one comes from people that get brain damage from blows to the head.

And blows to the head happened a lot back when these amazing civilizations were happening, so naturally it could be assumed that there would have been more people with Acquired Savant Syndrome thanks to hard hits to the head not only in battle, but every day life like training, farm work, falling from a horse, boys being boys, women getting beat at home more often, ect

So I think that may be a reason how they were so advanced back then and had such strong understanding of the stars and math.
