That having been said, metal rusts and wood rots.

the epic of gilgamesh is from 5,000-3,000 BC, not sure exactly where in it. it's an epic of ancient mesopotamia. a "post" flood civ.
to say they had us on astronomy would also be inaccurate. we have all the knowledge they had and more. about the only things we don't know as well as ancient culture would be "magic."
