User:Moulton/Agnosimnesia

There is a kind of amnesia known as collective amnesia or cultural amnesia. The technical name for it is Agnosimnesia. It means that society at large has virtually forgotten some long lost cultural knowledge or wisdom.

The opposite of Agnosimnesia is Gnosimnesia — recovering or rediscovering long lost cultural knowledge or wisdom.
